lieve if women would do that, half OF

Fancy yourself at the end Of q weary

a soft, lovely, evening frock. It may be

loneliness. It IS utterly feminine. When
you are wearing it, you cannot worry
or be sad. You cannot be anything
but your most charming self. That Is
why I beg every woman In the world

That, too, is why I wish that all
women would try to dress at every hour
of the day, to emphasize their feminine
loneliness. Their femininity is their
most priceless gift, it is unique. It
should not be hidden.

Paris Races Reveal Types
Of Spectator Costumes

The blouse, with q set-tn belt, had .
broken line for the front closing, with
buttons grouped In twos The sleeves
were long and tisht-fitting. and each
had sort Of pulled epaulet. There
was no cellar. This was worn with
one Of the new pointed caps which
derives its inspiration from the French
colonies.
This costume, incidentally, was fairly
short-11 or perhaps even IL inches
from the ground. It Is rather inter-
esting to note the two schools as re-
CARDS skirt lengths. One group, most
Of them older women, dressed by Won
net and Patou, chose fairly long skirts,
sometimes as long as 8 and 10 inches
from the ground. The other group,
often quite young women, follow the
Schiaparelli lead and wear their dresses
II and IL inches from the ground.
Skirt lengths, indeed, are most tndivid-
ual, and any length seems to be &C.
cepted, provided always, Of course, that
it is becoming to its wearer. This
freedom naturally makes for much
more grace than the uniformity Of .
few years back. when every woman, no
matter what her figure, felt that her
skirt must be the prescribed number
Of inches from the floor.
ONE Of the smartest costumes at
~ Longchamps, on this particular
day, was the Schiapareln cape dress
The dress fitted In the princess man
ner, was Of fine wooden, With the upper
part Of the bodice embroidered smartly
in silk. The plain fitted, long sleeves
were likewise embroidered. Over this
simple dress was square cape, of the
type that has made Schiaparelh IA
nous. This square effect was gained
through cartridge pleating across the
shoulders, and by the straight wide,
shoulder line. The cape stopped Just q
little above the waistltne, thus reveal
ing the narrow fitted waist and giving
to the whole figure an air of slimness
that was very smart and attractive.
With this were worn . brimmed hat,
with draped crown, verys high at the
back, and sloping toward the front; kid
pumps and white doeskin gloves.
Although most Of the frocks were
few coats or coat frocks that I thought
worth noting. One was of a simple
gray-beige wooden, with inserted belt
and side buttoning. The upper half of
the sleeve was cut in one with the
bodice, and circling around the coat
just at the shoulder line was a braided
scarf of the fabric, tied to form a bow.
which was In turn buttoned into place
by groups Of three buttons. This coat
was worn with hat Of the material,
which had taken its inspiration from
the beret-it was. in other words, Of
the round softness that characterizes
the beret, but it had sprouted a high
point at the center, which gave it q
most amusing air.

PARIS, July IA.
IL Paris goes to the races these
: n days, some to see, some to be
"A seen. The scene Is always .
4 i gay one, with mannequins from
the important houses parading
hare and there with the newest and
Uftsn the most extreme gowns, with all
the smart world in its smartest cos
TUNES, and added to that just as much
Of the Paris populace as could possibly
wend its way to the race course. For
''les courses" are far and away the most
important sport known to France and
draw the crowds such as only foot
ball game could gather in America.
ChAntilly, north of Paris few miles,
b reached by train or by car and Is a
favorite spot for Sunday excursionists,
who may not only enjoy the races. but
ind time to wander about the famous
old park, with its interesting chateau.
Tourists always take time to visit this
spot and to feed the carp, said to be
century or more old. Be that as 1t may,
one is likely to see some interesting
costumes at Chantilly on race days.
Even more important from q sartorial
point Of view is Longchamps. This
skirts the Bots de Boulogne, Is nearer
Paris and more accessible. It Is usually
to Longchamps that the couturiers send
their mannequins and the smart world
Is always out in full force.
7 WENT out last week when one Of the
L most important races Of the season
was being run and found the scene a
colorful one. There were literally hun
dreds Of smartly dressed women Of every
nationality. It was, Of course impos-
sible to do more than get aeeting i'm
preston of many of these costumes, but
I did find the opportunity to jot down
notes and to make some rough sketches
OF a few Of the more interesting cos
tunes Incidentally. it should be said
that the smartest women no longer wear
the extreme type Of gown to the races.
Many Of the costumes are OF the smart
ly simple sort, known in America as
spectator sports. Others are more nearly
related to afternoon gowns, but the
ultra type Of costume Is less often seen
these days, even on the professional
mannequin.
One smart gown. both from the
standpoint Of line and Of color, was
the worth gown of lightweight wooden
Of rough pebbly surface. This was In
navy blue, with pulled insets at the
elbows, and the crushed belt Of coral
marocain. The contrast OF coral silk
with the navy blue wooden was very
new, and extremely chic. This frock
was cut with a sort Of surplus blouse.
or, I should say, the right front was
cut In . sort Of diagonal panel, which
huttoned onto the left with two groups
Of navy blue buttons. The skirt fitted
mugly at the hips and then flared out
. little at the bottom, in the mode cur
rent today. With this costume was
worn one of the small hats with q still
dartng veil. 80 much affected by many
frenchwomen. This costume repre-
oents the more formal type Of thing
that one often sees at the races here
IN France.

was another frock, worn by slim

T BELIEVE every woman's clothes

charm. Sometimes we have for
i gotten that. We have made clothes
practical, pleading in their defense
the stirring, busy lives Of modern wom-
en-. Women have pretended that they
were 50 interested in sports, or tn bust
ness, or In other activities, that they
had no time for feminine garments.
And 80 they have often worn dull, un-
interesting garments, patterned on the
monotonous lines Of mems clothes, and
have claimed that the mediocrity that
resulted was practically.
Womens intense busyness was often
. pose, I am convinced. For there
were very few women whose time was
50 occupied that they did not have
opportunity to change their costumes
many times q day. And why should
it have been harder to slip into . soft,
beautiful, feminine costume than into
an ugly masculine one? Why. there
was even . time when women preferred
uninteresting, colorless garments for
evening wear. where certainly no one
could claim the necessity for practi-
cality.
Happily that pose Is over. Women
have come back to realize that their
greatest asset Is their feminine charm.
Even your business women no longer
find 1t necessary to dress In severe
masculine dress. They have discovered
that soft, beautiful feminine things,
restrained, Of course, and simple In their
lines, are . real asset IN business. A
woman has enough to compete against
in this world without throwing away
her greatest weapon-charm.

can be made. A sports frock may be
utterly simple, yet through Its color or
its line, it may emphasize woman'S

uninteresting, merely because it u de-

trimmed frocks for the street. They
are out Of place in such an environ

no reason In the world why street cos

even have chosen a severely tailored

something in the costume that suggests
her femininity. It may be gay dainty

|WO distinct skirt silhouettes have
come out of the new Chanel
collection. One shows a low
flare widened by crisp ruchings
of white organdie below long,
tight hipline. The other, developed
in softer fabrics, has a distinct sug-
gestion of the Empire period, with cas-
cades applied in rather swinging lines,
and sometimes carried up to the belt
line in the back. This period effect
is accentuated by double or triple puf1s
of tulle rising high above the shoulders.
Chanel as well as some other smart
houses, shows almost an excess OF white
organdie in both evening and day
dresses and ensembles. One evening
coatee of white organdie, cut box wise,
is made lovely by wide ruched frills OF
the organdie at the neck and armholes.
Great use is made OF the armhoie as
a decorative center.
For daytime this designer surrounds
her necklines with white organdie, fold
ed and rolled, not cut into severe col
| lars, and tied in knots or loose bows.
With these scarfed necklines are shown
little ov-: crowned hats made Of the
same nrSerial. Sometimes they are
turned up in the back and trimmed
| with bows. Others have small, vivid
green love birds f1attened against the
/ side.

ChanePs Feminine Details

of printed fabrics in black or colors
figured with the Chanel seal design in
thumbnail size. They are tightly belt
ed, although the fitting is easy, and
they have that almost studied look OF
non-professionalism, another way OF
saying that they are tailored in dress
maker fashion. The hard shoulder
is never seen at this house.
Sleeves have new lines. They are
festooned in several ways. Chanel
drapes sections of her sleeve material
on mousselines and tulles to preserve
the delicate appearance. These derive
from. the directoire evening sleeve;
which was a mere wisp Of material
draped festoon-wise on the arm as if
the band had fallen from the shoulder.
A nice version of this effect for day
time or evening is the draped cape
or half cape-put on so that its longest
measure falls toward the elbow. The
front and back ends are held with
ornaments or attached to the high
neckline of the dress.
