White crepe marroquin gowns, also long and narrow, appeared. One of these wa delightfully cool and aristo cratic in effect, with a wide front and back panel outlined by silver embroidery against the cold white of the crepe. An other delightful crepe gown was enlivened with appliques of bright colours which had great effect against its pure white surface; while a third, departing some- what from the absolute straight line, bad a circular overskirt which was edged with a sixteen-inch band of white swazzdowe, which weighted the kirs to give a dat effect over the hips, but at the same time gare fub value of its circular cut, fall fhg, as it did, into deep fold about the! knees and ankles.

The robe de style. it would seem, is not entirely dead yet, for it appeared at the Swedish ballet, and, of course, the fact that Lanvin is still making robes de style is guarantee enough for their perman- ence; as most of Lanria's customers re- present the no plus allen of smartness and hence are the women who set the style for others to follow. One of these rohes Was of fast hand-woven linen with "generous insertions of real lice all about the full skirt at the hip lines, while at the level of the knees caafrituons of hand embroidery. The bodice fitted closely. down to the bips, and had a delightfully deraure schu, edged with Ince ruffles, knotted gracefulig about the neck, leav ing a long shoulder-line for decoltage..

I hardly know whether to call the 1550 gown robes de style or not. At any rate, there were several of them there, with their skirts draped up to the buck, bat, this is the season's new "demand in the 1880 gowns, with an absence of bustle offret over this draping. A charm ing dress of this style was of a pale slate: blue moiré, and had the V neck, which certainly marries out the 1880 effect better than the bateau necklines which have so often been used with the bustle effect...

A number of the sheath-like gowns, which encase the figure closely as far na the knees and then spread out into a circular ruffie, were seen. A delightful one was made cf a Persian-design bro- ead with threads of dull silver mingling in its intricate pattern. The neck was round and scalloped down, much more deeply than the bateau neckline, and there were to sleeves.

A number of the ladies present wore the new scarves, and the effect was mos charming. A perfectly simple gown of a solid colour-black, white, dull blue. orimson or cyclamen would be complet. ed and embellished by one of these Borves which appeared "both in the thinnest of thin silk as well as in velvet, and showed interesting patternings. The way of wearing these scarves is what! makes their charm and their inexhaust- able individuality.

Eho kept walking and chatting in a most animated way and in the meantime her hands wrapped her scarf closely about her shoulder, like” a fischu, the two ends being held by ber hands at the centre front. This attituds: she kept for some time as she listened intensely to what a' friend was saying to her, then as she laughed she fang out her hands with a quick gesture which dropped the start to fall from her shoulders like a bishop's stole. In a moment the lady shivered, picked up the right end of the scarf and threw it acrom her left shoulder, and, as she went on talking, she drew the seari horizontally across her shoulders to leave. her throat and most of her shoulders bare presently she took the end of the scarf which was on her feft shoulder, drew it about her throat, and wrapped it about, letting the end fall down the back. After a time she seemed to forget all about the scarf and, drop. ping her arms, she let it fall and unroll from her shoulders so that it fell from its single turn about her throat. Pro sently she remembered it again, and draped the long and about her waist, still leaving the other end about her throat Then, after awhile, the throat wrapping came loose and the lady carried the scarf over ber arm.
