went far to make the ball the wonder
fully magnificent spectacle that 1t was
and emphasized the fact the simple
little crepe evening dresses. which have
been so extensively worn for the last
two years. are being replaced by the
more elaborate type. In the thousands
OF costumes worn at the ball there were
few that were not tissues OF extraordi-
nary beauty. the metal fabrics being
most prominent and most gorgeously
embroidered in jewels. Strings OF pearls
were most frequently worn with the
silver dresses. but the silver and gold
fabrics offered beautiful background
for jewels Of every description. and
jeweled headdresses were unusually ef-
fective.
AS a result of the ball hats are being
made of shiny cloth SO metallic in ap-
pearance that they resemble the helmet
OF warrior. A dazzling costume worr
at the ball which is having it's influence
on the fashions was that OF the Prince
of Kapurthala, who took the part of an
eighteenth century Persian Prince at the
Court of the Doge. His costume was Of
silver cloth which sparklcd In the light.
and with it he wore turban draped ir
silver cloth, with a high standing silver
aigrette in front. There were many Of
these silver turbans draped high in
front. with hugh punches of colored
plumes standing fully two feet in height.
Another huge turban which attracted in
terested attention was red, with scores
of red quills stuck all over 1t. each one
standing out separately. There were any
number of Indian and Persian turbans
embroidered all over In diamante and
pearls. Modified reproductions Of these
types are sure to be popular modes for
autumn.
Independence Day fetes have occupied
the Americans in Paris during the last
week. An interesting celebration was
given at the palace OF the Legion Of
Honor. 1t was arranged by the Grand
Chancellor and by the committee known
as the Safeguard Of French Art. and was
attended by both French and American
celebrities. including the President Of
the French Republic and the president
of the Council Of Ministers, several men,
bers of the Cabinet, Marshals Foch and
Petain. Gen. Berdoulat, Military Gov
ernor of Paris Mr.. Myron T. Herrick,
the American Ambassador, and a num-
Der of the leading figures of the Ameri-
can colony. Speeches were made by Gen.

Styles Now Chief Interest
of the Americans in Paris
Following Excitement of Racing Week Visitors Turn
to Question of Dress Elaborate Evening Gowns
the Fashion-Oriental Touch in Millinery.

the exception OF the Persian and Vene-
tian styles suggested by the Grand Prix
ball. already described in this column.
One feature may be taken as certain.
and that Is evening dresses will be long
and show classic draperies- There will
be an effort to push the eighteenth CEN
tury costumes. again the influence Of
the Opera ball, but 1t is always doubtful
that the very full skirts with extended
hips can be a complete success. They
are picturesque. but wholly impractical
for the modern dances. and that one
feature seems TO be the only considera-
tion these days.
The length of the skirts worn at the
races interested the Americans more
than anything else. 1t was easy enough
to find the American woman who had
just arrived In Paris by her short skirt.
Our eyes have become so accustomed to
the longer skirts in Paris that the Amer
lean now appears awkward and dumpy
and an object OF ridicule in any skirt
that does not reach the ankle. Though
many of the evening dresses almost
touch the floor. II Is impossible to be-
lieve that long skirts will be expected In
the day for walking out of doors, but
they will surely be much longer than
the very dumpy American skirt.
There were two coats out at the
Grand Prix which nearly touched the
ground. One may hope that the wearers
were eccentric in taste. II was worth
noting, however, that there were no
we'll dressed women in the Jockey Club
tribune who wore short dresses. a fact
which made the American visitors look
peculiar and ungraceful In comparison
The tailormades seen there showed slim,
ankle length skirts. and 1t is supposed
this will be the regulation length for
the winter. The new models showed
the raised waist line. and 1t would not
be surprising II modified form Of the
First Empire fashions should appear. II
is certainty that the majority Of the
models will have the waists normally
placed.
Style in Evening Gowns.
The hints from the Grand Prix ball
are many and varied as far as evening
dresses are concerned. OF all the beau
tiful dresses worn none was more be-
coming than the one In silver tissue
There were many OF this type, with no
trimming whatever and with the fabric
swathing the figure closely. Other sill
yer dresses were interviewer with pale
pink and blue hydrangeas, and there
were several dresses Of material which
looked like mother OF pearl

PARIS, July IL.
TNHE Paris season of 1922 has left
the visitors to the French
capital within crowd OF bril-
liant memories. Every hour Of the
great week was hectic for all except
for the Parisians themselves. 1t was
the same last year. From the Grand
at Longchamps 1t was one breathless
week of wild pleasure for the for
e1gners. but Parisians remained at
home because their pocketbooks per-
mitted OF nothing else.
1t was often remarked last year that
FEW Parislans were to be noted at any
OF the big fetes. and their absence was
even more marked this season. They
appeared at the races as of old, but
with the coming of night Paris was
transformed into an American city.
There was much talk during the first
days Of July about prolonging the sea-
son, and there was desperate effort
made by the dancing clubs and res
taurants In the Bois, to whom the sea-
son meant bread and butter. to offer
attractions enough to keep cosmopoli-
tan Paris within its gates.
The weather, however, was the first
factor In putting an end to the prolonga-
ton talk. None OF the open air fetes
has been a success on account Of the
chilly and rainy weather, and with
Parisians streaming out OF the city by
every train as soon as the Grand Prix
was run, the visitors have commenced
to follow their example. The drawing
power of Paris reached It's height Just
ten days ago. as far as visitors were
concerned, and last week the tide began
to turn. and within the last few days
there has been complete let down.
With the big racing week a thing of
the, past. clothes from the feminine
point of view are the foundation, of the
seasons events. The tourists especially
have turned their attention almost en-
tirely to the dressmaSers and milliners.
as they seem to think the races have
settled the question of fashions forever.
The racing week was illustrative Of
the success of the summer styles, but
there were few indications Of what Is
likely to be worn in the autumn. with
