DRESSES AT A FRENCH CARDEN-PARTY.
These very chic costumes were worn at an autumn al fresco fete in Paris. Sketch 1 was a pretty combination of pink taffeta, with spotted black silk gauze, worn with a black hat and a broad black belt. Sketch 2 shows the gown worn by an American lady which was of grey peau de soie, with a shade of pink in it. The skirt was bordered with three ruches of peau du soie, from which were flounces of white lace. Lace was placed gracefully round the neck of the gown and finished in a cascade at the back. The bonnet was of gold gauze, with gold wings spangled with sequins, and black velvet strings. The sunshade was of white tulle, with black satin bows.
