STYLES IN PAIRS.

Paris. April 4.-This afternoons
brilliant meet at Auteuil brought "a
new sensation: Eighty per cent of
the women wore eyeglasses launtily
stuck in the right eye. also. walking
sticks. thick gloves, tailor made suits
cut in severe masculine lines and low
heels. It was another demonstration
of the return OF the mannish type in
women's apparel, previous signs of
which have been faithfully reported
in these dispatches
There was one concession to
feminine coquetry, however. Skirts
were generally a few inches shorter
than heretofore. revealing the entire
knee faultlessly enclosed in priceless
silk stockings kept in place by
garters adorned with flowers and in
some cases, with jewels.
Not a few of the women present to-
day carried parrots on their left shol-
ders. held captive by tiny gold chains
connecting one OF the birds legs to the
owners wrist
The masculine effect of the new
spring fashions was generally criti-
cised by smart settlers as too simple
and the general view is the straight
tailor made garments will soon be re-
placed by more elaborate creations.
