THESE CRETONNE SUITS

were first made by Worth for the Empress to wear to the Longchamp
races in June last year, before King William thundered
down over the Bavarian border. Last August Mrs. Belmont
appeared with a suit at Newport and created a sensation.

This summer I notice several suits here among the leading
fashionables. They have a place—a legitimate place at the
races, where gentlemen wear veils and feathers, and scarlet neckties.
