< 1 " ' -T7—] Paul Poiret Tells of Fashions At Biarritz .. I___._-_ ' I By PAUL POIRET, (Greatest of Parisian Fashion Creators). Tarla, Dso. «—The elegant throngs ot society folk have moved south In quest of sunshine! Thus a dazzling season is now displaying Its treasures of fashion on the Riviera and es pecially In Biarritz. The great Palace hotels were filled with masses of chic and elegant peo ple, when I was there, and the high est society bathed In that corner of the Atlantic ocean. One saw new establishments opening their exclu sive doors—and especially In the old palace of a fallen queen a “Dancing Rendezvous" was started whose fame bloomed forth In greatness from Its very first day of life! This Is Sacchino on the ancient estate of Queen Nathalie, anil It Is there that the well known Harry Pilcer made all the holiday-enjoying aristocracy hasten. The attractions of this place are many and one of Its charms resides In the fact that the organization la altogether new. One gathers there In the open air; skillfully disposed tiers of green lawn form an antique am phitheater; the ,] “proeessium” em braces the whole dancing space which Is of linoleum originally incrusted on the green lawn. Behind this first plan, a lake displays Its heart-shaped design proud to show in Its middle a perfect little Isle where smiles the Temple of Love—an exquisite replica ' of the one near the Grand Trianon. Marvelous dancers came Into this en chanting background to accomplish their mirarles of skill and their thou sands of precious movements—In be tween the public's own fox trotting. In the middle of the space reserved for the dancing, the public and their many little tables, appears a vaste “podium” of glass; it is there that the elegant couples dance; hut as they do so there Is even another charming surprise for them! Under the panes of glass of this fairy-tale floor, lamps are hidden and these send up at pegu lar Intervals, strange and fantastic lights; the most resplendent colors take turns in bathing the dancers. Fro'in the top of the ceiling pro jectors flood the scene with other beams of colorful hues In the most varied shades and all the brilliant gowns change tint endlessly accord ing to the rays they cross. I, who do not dance (alas!), I spent «n exquisite evening in contemplat ing this fairy thing constantly re newed! gathered nt the waist line by (our i twists of fine pearls; a great panel of periwinkle htied silk is attached nn the right hip and gracefully falls to the ground forming a gor geous train. I do not know whose creation this gown Is. but It would deserve to* be signed by Worth such are its majesty and Its high distinction. Biarritz Fete. And as long as we nre on the chapter of smart and exquisite Biarritz—I feel that I must talk to you about the great fete for which extraordinary preparations are being made In the gorgeous villa of Mme. de Olazabal. This fete will be one of fhe most resplendent fancy dre>ss balls of the many to Vie seen during this season—if I sm td consider at their full value the plans and efforts everyone Is making to surprise the rest of this chic coterie. I couldn’t yet describe to you all the costumes that will figure there but I desire especially to give you the description of the one that will he worn by Mile, de Olazabal and of those worn by Melles. Patino', daughters of one of the greatest Spanish families. Mile. Olazabal will wear the truly traditional Spanish costume. The head dress Is composed of a huge comb covered by a dazzling “man tilla” of the finest lace of rare blond white tint. The low-cut gown Is cdnstructed df a very tight fitting black velvet bodice busked "a l’anclenne”—a bodice which will make the waist ex ceedingly slendor, while a bertha fashioned from a flounce of finely pleaded chiffon borders the decollete. But most of all, the cklrt Is char acteristic and deserves to be pic tured. It Is fashioned out of an in finity of small flounces of starched, snow-white chiffon—each one edged with black Valenciennes lace. It was necessary to keep not less than eight working girls busy for eight days In order to finish the flounces alone bordered with their lace. On the other hand there Is noth ing more becoming to the fair dancer than this work o’f fashion and art, this creation so complicated and foam like which makes this skirt ap pear as a jewel case—alive and un dulating! It Is understood of course that all these flounces are sewn on an en ormous crinoline and that the crlno- . ilne is lined and underlined by a mul titude of super-imposed skirts all hemmed with the same kind of lacy I flounces; this presents a happy en semble—a whole—like delicate and light whipped cream or a huge fluffy rose which blooms .opens, and closes swiftly following all the graceful moves of the dance. This gown worn by Mile, de Olazabal, who Is a truly resplendent Spanish type will undoubtedly win The traditional Spanish costume with tile tight-filthi); black velvet bodice and the Ihirc crinoline made of an „ infinity of white chiffon flounce* edged with black Valencien nes lace. The huge Spanish comb I* covered by a dazzling mantilla of blond-white lace. by delicate shells in exquisitely gradu ated shades of rose—from the palest of pink to the most ardent of rose. floor a gown out of my own "ateliers” which I am going to describe to you; It is a dress of black "fulgurante” (very brilliant, lustrous silk), delight fully simple In cut, adorned at the waist line, as the photograph shows, with a zig-zag motif of silver running from the right sleeve to the left one. You will instantly understand from Jhis photograph that two panels of contrasting colors are encrusted un der a braid of sliver. One of the panels Is of silver, the other of gold. If truly Is a beautiful gown. I But I assure you that people started to applaud when this gown arrived on the crystal dancing floor ;a beautiful young girl of 20 wore this long slim tunic of pale blue tulle; and one could not well have said whether the' tunic was blue or whether the eleetrlo bulbs blending with the moonlight made it appear of that ethereal hue. Delicate Flowers. A light and slender enter-deux flace Insertion) of silver and gold lace forms a dolmatiea pn the bodice as one can admiringly follow on the sketch which Illustrates this descrip tion, and the same gold and silver In sertion of lace forms at the waist line the youthful girdle and adorns the rim of the skirt. And If one gazes at this adorable creation for a greater length of time one begins to see finely embroidered flowers, ap pearing as If by slow magic—flowers of hues as delicate as to Ate Invisible at first glance. This gown aside from the fact that it possesses sheer beauty, breathes all the grace of frail and exquisite th.ngs, and is like unto the rare flower that too much sunshine would cru.=h—or again like a young, deli cate beauty doomed to perish when th» first cold of autumn appears on the horizon. Of a more rustle and vigorous splendor Is this gown of mauve and gold "lame" tissue. This Is like a tunic vertically draped and Rivalry It* Keen. Great rivalry of elegance reigns there and I noticed gowns of priceless value and of priceless beauty There was especially to be seen and admired a gown of silver lace over embroidered with black pearls. I send you the picture of this lovely thing, whose ensemble trimmed with ori ental designa makes one think of a tropical serpent's akin, and when this dress is worn by a supple and undu lating figure this Impreasion Is highly strengthened. A broad belt of green velvet closely follows the hip line and two straps of black and silver run toward the shoulders over a hodlc* of vivid silver. you will notlpe the sleeve, a re mark .tidy original cut—which is a hajf-sdecve running only from the wrist to the elbow. There is nothing to cover the arm; nothing on the shoulders. 1’iirt 'r the Influence of the multi colored lights this gown beoame trans formed in turn into a mauve gowo, Into a rose gown, Into a green gown— and the result of it was sheer magic. There also danced before my eyes a gown Treated by Lanvin, all made of rose tulle (fine silky jpet) which tinder my very gaze became lilac, purple and blue. It appeared as a cloud of tulle—a nebulous vapor—reli ed up In a belt of the same rose net. And, too, there was a young girl who wore another pink gown whose lower part of the skirt, as seen in the design I join herewith, is formed hv blostfronlng petals, or, If you prefer. a tremendous success. Persian Miniatures. And now let us look upon the gowns of the Misses Patino who look exactly like two Persian mtnlaturea, most slender and precloua. One of the Misses Patino will wear the Egyptian costume of the purest style; We are In the Pharaohs’ epoch. The costume !» composed of a skirt of gold entirely pleated with extreme finesse and hanging down to the ankles fro'm slender hips; this skirt Is not a piece of material alone. It Is rather a masterpiece of a gold smith's art; Its hem ends In a shower of rlnges of gold, most light and deli cate, through which one glimpses slender ankles. The golden sandals very much like "cothurnes” are made of thongs of leather repeatedly crossed after an ancient art. The bodice Is fashioned of two lovely plates to cover the breasts, plates ex oulsltely made of delicate and tiny Kingfisher feathers and gold tissue. The same Kingfisher feathers adorn the waist line running all around ■ rich circle. But I would like to be able to describe the resplendent head dress, a real masterpiece; this Is com posed of a golden wig laid absolutely flat over her own hair and showing the same short bob which Is so fash louahle today and which was even tnoVe «o In the time of those smart Egyptians of long ago! On this wig one poses • heed dress which Is the very head dress of the Goddess Isle; It closely encir cles the head of the wearer and ends In front with the head of a cobra held In place by an armature of diamonds and a wealth of plumes. These are of the same Kingfisher feathers and they cascade softly on each side of the youthful face whose contour they faithfully frame. Mile, Patino, whose countenance Is of a delicate regularity, will Ajsuredly resemble to a goddess of the golden antiquity or to Semlramls! Her sister, who Is astonishingly like her, will wear a gown come to life out of one of Velasques' portraits: It Is a gown of black vslvet braided all over with a narrow braid of brilliant silver, and trimmed with en exquisite bertha of lingerie; over lingerie sleeves, open large sleeves of black velvet also braided with vivid ellver. The romantic wig, quits large on the sides. Is of silk In ‘'tete-de-negre'' hue, and adorned with tiny motifs of heavy sliver lace, and an Immense blue plume gracefully falling over Ihe left shoulder. It Is as nearly aa possible (be ra production of the canvas, portrait by Velasques to be seen In the Prado museum—on the left wall as one en ters the first great hall, But, of course, you know It quite well.

And here Is an amusing travel letter from Ray I-aing, who Is hibernating In England after seeing France, Scot land, Holland, Ireland. Belgium, Nor way and Sweden In his pilgrimage Dear Sir and Oojjsln: I win now take my pen in hand to tell you of our sojourn In Paris. This city, ss you may see from your maps, Is the capital city of France and Is situated on the two hanks of the river Seine. The right bank Is tfhere you go when you are decent and respectable and the left bank is w-here you go when you are with BUI Hogg and Ring I.ardner. But of that more anon. The principal Industry on the right bank Is dressmaking. If you have doubts of that please con suls Guaranty Trust Company. Forty fourth street and Fifth avenue, New York City and ask them how does mv account stand—If st all. Dear cousin, my heart pines for you. Tills p. m. a gent tried to sell me sunset pink shirts In M. Sulka's new shop in London and when I said ‘But M'sieu. I could not.’ he said, 'but M. Long. M. McIntyre will scoop you on those if you hesitate.' So I ordered them, but. dear cousin the tailor who has collaborated with me on all the clothes you have copied is ill of a carbuncle. So do the fates guide the destiny of man: and I may be forced to teach another London tailor how to make habllamenfs, chaste and magnificent, for gentle men. And so now I have told you of Paris and in my next epistle I shall tell you cf Holland where gin comes from." Here Is another from Houdlnl, the handcuff king. "My clipping bureau has sent me concrete evidence of your good will. Many thanks. Am off on a lecture tour 'cries crossing’ and ‘transcontinentaling’ for the next 10 weeks. I hope to see you upon my return to town. I have another coin trick to teach you. You have master ed the other creditably. Som» day you may become my sueceasor." "How are you off for life Insur ance?" writes a friendly agent. "Wouldn’t you feel terrible If some day crossing New York streets you were struck hv a taxicab and perma nently disabled?" I would not only feel terrible, but plum put out. "You ran omit.” writes a Cincin nati reader, "your monthly sob about dogs. And personally It doesn’t inter est me If you stroll through the town and m-et Paul Whiteman or Flo Zleg feld. Theic «re times when you give me a stiff pain In the neck, but some how I continue to read your artlclea the first thing.” Keep on reading them. It 1* still t*he age of miracles. I may get better. Here ts a discerning and able critic --a preacher In East IJverpool, O. "I’m writing to express my personal appreciation of your moat excellent work. I Jike your moral fiber, your old-fashioned ideals and your stern criticisms of the modern fashion and fanatics." From old lew Cody, who Is out west, where men are men, and, as "Bugs" Baer Bays, women are gov ernors: "Do you remember that day I met you in Place Vendome? In Paris, and you threw away your cane and I threw away my hat?

"I am wondering where In (you can't use that word here, mister!) you got the iderf," writes "a Baltimore reader,” "that New York la a klndr hearted city. I was there three weeks ago. I was Insulted by a taxi driver, snubbed by a hotel clerk, Ignored by a waiter and sassed by a bootblack. I never want to see the town again. It.
