FASHIONABLE MONTE CARLO

The two' things' ate, of course,' not incompatible this season of revivals. Take, for instance, evening mittens now beinff worn by some of the bestdressed women there.' The newest are patterned on the back with sequins. Rainbow sequins on the mittens matched rainbow ribbons half hidden under the pleats of a black skirt of diaphanous fabric. SHAWL AND MONOCLE. Equally of Victorian trend are the lace shawls. One of old Limerick lace draped the grown of the smart wearer [of a monocle—another piquant overlapping of the old and the new. I Spring seems to bring forth ingenilous dual devices in dress. A new Paris I daytime model now being worn on the Riviera has a fur-edged flared skirt. .Unbutton this at the waist and it can (be worn as'a cape. Olive green cloth | with light grey astrakhan were used I for this ensemble. Women are again taking to the Breton sailor with enthusiasm. It is a smart and becoming style for morning wear in town, and goes well with the 'simple tailored suit.
