Special Correspondence to THE NEW YORK
HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Paris, July 30.
For the first time in many years
Parisians are forced by the heat to
wear real summer clothes and attend
the out Of doors theatres. The for
eigner coming to France for the first
time is always impressed by the fact
that places Of amusement in the open
air. other than restaurants in the
Bois, are scarce in Paris. The AM
bassadeurs. which has long been a
landmark, throwing out its fairy
lights through the trees of the
Champs Elysees, has been practically
the only real summer theatre in Paris
for more than a century.
There are two reasons for this lack
Of summer amusement centres. In
the first place Paris is almost entirely
deserted during the months Of July
and August as far as real Parisians
are concerned. They depart immedi-
ately after the Grand Prix, which is
always the last Sunday in June. leav-
ing the charms of their beloved city
IN the naIuS Oh the tOuTlSlS.
While tourists. especially the Amer
leans, invariably show amazement at the
lack of summer theatres, past expert
ence has proved that such institutions
are not a paying business. Tourists
come to Paris for the sole purpose of see
ing the French capital from historic
point of view. and after they visit the
museums. cathedrals, Napoleon's tomb,
the ancient Government building and
few Of the monuments, they consider
that they have done a good days work,
and the theatre merely for the sake Of
amusement does not appeal to most of
them.
Real Summer Heat Rare.
The second reason for the lack of the
atres in the open air, Is that Paris rarely
has real summer weather. There are
usually not more than a dozen days
scattered through July and August that
could be called uncomfortably warm.
The women are always complaining that
they never have an occasion to wear
the beautiful lingerie dresses that the
American women talk about and urge
the French dressmakers to produce. So
real summer theatres. such as we have
In America. are out of the scheme Of
things in France.
This season, however. has been an
exception. Paris has sweltered under the
rays Of a sun that has been unheard OF
In northern France heretofore. Those

Whether milady likes it or not she
may have to wear corsets again. for
the famous house of Jacques Worth
In the Rue de la Paix has decided that
all next seasons gowns are to be
built over corset wearing models.
In explaining matters to THE NEW
YoRK HERALD correspondent M. Worth
reminded him that before the war all
women wore cossets and thought moth
ing Of it. But when the war came"
he went on. "the uniform took the
place Of corsets. half million women
in the allied nations alone finding COM
fort in the snug fitting semi mi-military
costumes. The effect of these uniforms
has now worn off, however, and the

smart French women will accept colors.
At the opening of every season for the
last two years an invasion of bright
colors has been predicted. The cou-
turiers make wonderful collections of
models In the brightest colors and dis
play them. with the assurance that the
time has come at last to discard black.
The foreign buyers accept the predic-
ton as gospel and depart with their
trunks filled with costumes of the gayest
colors. They are no sooner out of the
gates Of Paris than these same models
are looked over by the French women
and tossed aside because they are not
black. This has happened for four
straight seasons so II Is reasonable to
suppose that the time has really come
for a change.
The Parisienne clings to black not be-
cause she has grown accustomed TO II
through wearing so much mourning dur
ing the war, as the world generally sup
poses. but because the art OF dressing Is
innate within her. and she realizes the
advantages Of setting off her charms
against dark robe. But summer
weather and black do not go we'll to-
gether. SO some startling effects In the
richest OF colors are being worm Inc

done throughout tne sedsoil aie 90 ,'i''

ors as the heat

ises to be II will probably be little more
than a sea of Spanish shawls. Every
dressmaker in Paris Is trying to sell her
star client a handsome Spanish shawl
until the real ones have become unop-
tainable except for fabulous prices. Even
the imitation ones have more than dou-
bled in price since they were first worn
in the early spring. and those that are
not even embroidered. but merely out
lined with deep fringe, are as expen-
sive as the embroidered ones were three
months ago. Parisiennes have a way OF
draping them over one shoulder anu
fastening the corner on the nip insIeao
Of wearing them as shawls or plain
mantles.

Betrayed by short skirts.

There Is apprehension as to Deauvilie
being the smart seaside resort this sum-
mer. The season last year was unpre-
cedented In the matter of popularity
There was not even a cupboard or
billiard table to be rented after the flrst
week of August. Deau'ille was the
rage and likewise the scandal when the
French press undertook a campaign
against the excessive gambling. Millions
Of francs were won and lost at the tables
in a night and the tourists who visited
the battlefields one day and the CASINO
at Deauville the next day found the
contrast so great that they were apso-
lutely sckened by II. Though there has
been more talk about the mountain
resorts and Biarrtz being the smart re-
sorts this season, Deauville Is again
putting UP its prices which would indi-
cate that 1t expects the same onrusn as
last summer.
On the other hand one hears constant
ly that Deauville has had Its day ana
that 1t will probably be crowded this
season with the same sporting set that
follows the races but that 1t Will not
be smart.
The last two big ships that arrived
from New York brought as many prom

Paris. The majority Of them are going
either to AK les Bains or Barritz. The
women remain In Paris for few days
to do some shopping. One can always
tell when a ship from America has just
arrived by the number Of women wear
ing short skirts In the shops.
The American women are now as con-
5picuous for their short skirts In Paris
as they were a year or two ago for
their exceedingly long ones. An Ameri-
can girl appeared at a ball at the Ritz
last week In a skirt that was so short
that her rolled stockings and bare knees
were very much In evidence and appar-
entity shocked the Parisians, so it seems
that the length of the skirts will always
remain a bone of contention between the
French and Americans.
Paris has decided that the proper
length OF the skirt Is at least to the
ankle and some OF the dressmakers are

who have been doing the most complain-
ing about 1t for the last fortnight have
been the dressmakers, who have been
caught entirely unawares. They have
been swamped with orders for organdie
dresses, and 1t looks as II they are at
last forced to put aside their black crepes
and come out In a blaze of color.
The only dressmaker who seems to
have scented the hot summer and made
preparations for 1t is Paul Poiret. with
his very artistic open air theatre He
turned his garden adjoining his dress
making establishment into the Theatre
de POasis. and nothing like it has ever
been seen In Paris before.
AS soon as the rush of the day Is
over in his showrooms he puts a dozen
men to work in the garden. They fill
the place with comfortable lounging
wicker chairs and bright colored cush-
ions and raise an inflated canvas over
them stage seems TO spring up from
the earth; curious lights appear in the
trees, and In less time than II takes to
tell 1t the dressmaking establishment is
turned into a modern theatre which Is as
typically Poiret as any of his creations
have ever been.
He gives vaudeville programme that
is as unique as the theatre itself One
would think he was attending private
of the chateaux of Louis XV and at the
same time each act Is so ultra modern
that the French monarch doubtless would
turn In his grave at the suggestion. On
the whole the programme Is rather one
of parody instead Of comedy. or such a
mixture Of the two that one Is puzzled
to know just what to call 1t.
Art and Dancing Follow.
During the entr-acte the uadience Is
invited to visit an art gallery in one Of
the salons Of the establishment, where
some hundred or more paintings gath
cred from some Of the most famous col
lections Of Paris are displayed. After
the performance the theatre vanishes as
quickly as 1t appeared. The chairs are
scattered over the garden. the platform
Is cleared and a sign, "On Danse," re-
places the stage.
Despite the fact that the garden offers
one Of the most refreshing spots of Paris
after hot day, the theatre has not been
a great success and there are rumors of
its being forced to close very soon. all
of which proves that summer theatres
are not popular in Paris.
There is more interest being taken in
the summer clothes that are being worn
in Paris now and the costumes that are
being made for Deauville than anything
else. Deauville promises to be blaze
of color. The dressmakers are doing
their best to get away from black and
the hot weather Is helping them. but II
remains to be seen whether or not thu
