Paris.
ARIS is simply la a dither about madras. It seems to have happened all of a suddén. Some
say it started over a series of tai- lored blouses made of the stuff, some on waistcoat lines with nar- row revers, others with bigh necks; and bow ties, worn with string coloured dark toned rough linen suits for town.
Creed's Brain-Child
This madras vogue is the brain- child of young Charley Creed of the house of Henry Creed in the Rue Royale, whose tailored things are legend and legion in smart, circles. Charley even has done beach costumes in this material. With a very tailored top he de- signs a full pleated kilt. Short and saucy, this notion already has been bought by fashion leaders who have worn shorts and shorts and who like what this abbreviated skirts does for the things and legs. In addition to madras blouses and beach outfits. there is a crop used on the blas-with the turned back cuff and button on the out- side of the wrist. And as if to prove how workable an idea this madras business is, Charley has made a madras umbrella with

AN EVENING FROCK
Suggests Fullness Of
The Bustle.
Like Gaul, evening frocka may be divided into three parts. The bodice mostly fits and then is pften, though not always, diesi- mulated. It may have a fichu. It may have wide ruching down the
big V of the back, or the back may run down definitely into 0 bustle line.
This is not a real bustle. It is effected either by means of large, stiff bows which bounce away both from the waist and the back of the knees of the otherwise closely fitting skirt, or the effect may be produced by means of a full train which starts from the waist and is pulled in sharply about eighteer for twenty inches from the waist,
to go on flowing down to the floor and farther. Again, the bodice may have what looks neither more nor less than a flounce from the waist to the depth of eighteen inches. This also give, the sug- gestion of fullness of the bustle.
STATELY EVENING
FROCK AGAIN.
The stately evening frock has come in again. It has, to be ad- mitted that it owes its stateliness to the train, to the full length round the knees, even sometimes to the bustle or its equivalent. It is not the stateliness of Queen Elizabeth, which also was based on absurdities of the ruff and ex-'

FUSSY EVENING
WRAPS.
Bolero-Like The Smartest.
There are wraps with a straight line across the collar bone which Jare academic and becoming. There are some which go back to the worst feature of Edwardian fus- siness. Black taffeta is.arranged in three great flounces to make a cape which la tied on with a bow in front. Five years hence It will seem to belong to the antimacas- sar age.
Some of the smartest wraps are little boleros in front, have talls behind, and huge kimono sleeve, Many coats have academic hoods which show off the back of the neck to advantage. The cape is' rife, sometimes in two divisions which give the effect of sleeves. Generally speaking, al evening wraps are rather fussier, though some of them have good lines. They are still inseparable from the
evening dress.
