Paris Styles By MARI FENTREsS

Paris (UP)-The first important race of the season, the running of tho Prix du President de Ia Repub- llque at Auteuil, brought out a iningling of spring and winter clothes due to the uncertainty and chill of the weather.
 The majority of the smart en- sembles featured the new golden mustard yellow which was frequent ly combined with black or navy blue A brighter shade of yellow was seen frequently in combination with brown or green, while purples, verg- ing on red and pink tones, were popular also.
 Many of the new costumes were hidden under heavy fur coats. Mime. Albert Lebrun, wife of the President, wore heavy cloak of black seal while many full-length mink coats. were noted in the crowd.
 There were many colored gloves in evidence, the most popular shades being yellow, green, rasp- berry and bright blue.
 Hats varied from the little sailors reminiscent of the Gibson Girl and trimmed with feathers, to the shal- low Breton type with an unturned brim all the way around. Judging from the chic crowd at the race track, 1t will be a fifty-fifty proposi- ton whether hats will be worn on the back of the head or tilted over the right eye this season.
