The French appear to be yellow mad this season, and all shades of the color, from ecru to orange, are popular ; but the butter, canary, and a greenish yellow in the sulphur tones are most in evidence. The last of the three, though trying, is a prodigious favorite, and in soft lustrous chiffon taffetas, relieved by touches of black and a collar and sleeve- frills or cuffs of fine lingerie, mousseline or lace, is a frock-motif often repeated by Paris makers. Yellowish tones, butter yellow. and even deeper, are taking the place of white in many of the French sheer blouses of net. marquisette, batiste, etc., and similar tones are rikecr in (.•ollars, frills and iabots.

Large hats are always immsensely in favor during the summer season, not alone for their grace and picturesqueness, but because .their -broad brims-are such a welcome shade; hut there are many charming little hats made in the mushroom shape which are quite chic and attractive to wear with the smartest toilettes. Trifles light- as air, these creations of lace and tulle have roses of palest hue nesting in their filmy f olds. One of the newest Paris models, very simple and pretty small mushroom, made of tucked black tulle, was wreathed with roses of virgin whiteness, and underlined with white aerophone. A black velvet how hung on the left side.

She marched down the hall, followed by a train of men mm maidens in a kind of rose Eastern dress . That is, they wore hats which represented a pink rose set upside down on their heads and had swartlred -pink draperies right round them, which were dotted with roses, and which enwrapped them so closely that

they could only totter along dike Japanese or Eastern maidens. They formed a group with Melba in the centre*, then the partner caught the extreme end of the scarf drapery and the maids waltzed out into a large circle, the scarves, like the spokes of a wheel, fill c mverting to the centre. The man Handed the ends to Madame Melon, bowed to their partners, then drawing up the scarves seemed to impel them it m ards ,±heni, after which they went through* a pretty maypole Kind of ecintry dance with Melba as the cmtiepiecc. At the last- she dropped the starves and the dance finished y Mcibn and all the girls subsiding in the lowest of curtsies, looking -ike mg revos, while the men bowed low. A was such a success that Lady FilthaM.ed them to repeat it further down the room with more light. There been a craze for artistic effects ft some halls, and in consequence the main lights are turned off, leaving only the colored lights of the decorations, with the result than an artistic subdued light is obtained, but that folks cannot distinguish anything with certainty. This lack of light was a drawback at the Arabian Nights ball. During the dancing of this set the colors worn might have been anything; all- one could see was some were darker than others, but- when the lights went up it was discovered all were in pink and beautifully flocked, while come of our smartest and prettiest girls" were included among the dancers.
