PARIS FASHION NOTES.
[FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT, IBABEZ
RAYSAY.]
Panis, June 7th. in the matter of skirts there is still. that it is a wide margin allowed, s0 possible for the woman of perfect fashion to wear a short, tight skirt in the morn- ing and appear perfectly at her ease in a long, wide one in the afternoon,
Seme of the skirts are so tight and shore that it is no uncommon thing to see above the wearer's knee when "sho runs or steps up into a motorbus; others, on the contrary, are of the long and clinging type and are much favour- ed for afternoon or evening frocks, espe- cially when velvet, crepe de Chine or satin are the mediam. There is a par- ticular type of tailor-made very popular just now which shows a short skirt made on rather tight lines if it is nat pleated; with this is a loose-fitting jacket, called "sac, but with hardly the shape of that useful article; either it has a small turned buck collar or else none at all, and wide fitted-in sleeves that bell out at the wrists. This costume. is usually made in navy blue, and re lieved with tiny bruid or stitchings in white, burnt orange, grey or vieux rose shades. The white and grey tones are extremely popular for trimming, the note being continued in shoes and stock- ings to match. A black or navy blue hat adds a frish"
Such a type of tailor-made is essen tially suitable for youth or those who aspire to a youthful appearance; it is smart as well as comfortable, and lends itself to being worn in conjunction with a pretty kilk or knitted jumper. You see it in the morning when you go shep- ping, or in the Bois de Boulogne on Sunday morning, or at aports matches orsinformal gatherings,
dif For the elegantea there is a ferent type in vogue altogether. It is long and tapering, and moulds itself into the figure in graceful, sinuous curves. The front and the back follow the line of the figure, but on the side, there is a series of plents er gathers which taper the ecat in at that point and lend full- ness to the hips. With one-piece frocks this same idea is carried out, fullness Being kept in place, if it is a loose chemiw frock, with narrow girdles or. belts that fasten on each side.
With a tailor-made of this variety there is little or do trimming, the severity of its line and quality and colour of the material used aucing for all necessary ornament. When anything extra is added, it is invariably monkey fur or astrakan, the latter being laid on in hands both on the skirt and coat- Although it has been in for so long. Parisiennes Keem loath to abandon monkey for any other form of trimming Naturally, this degrand has the effect of increasing its value, so that a garment on which monkey figures may be reckon ed at once as being more than usually costly."
For those whose purses will not stretch as far as this popular fur there is much that the imitator has prepared. One of these is goat's hair, so cleverly prepared that it would take an expert all his time to distinguish it from good quality skunk. Then, the homely sheepskin is going to be seen everywhere this season. It will be used for trimming, and lengths of it will be made up into coats and cloaks in whichi Parisicahes will defy the most wintery of blasta. Coats, on the whole, "will still be more cape than anything else, with just sufficient cut and shaping for the wearer to be able to boast two sleevek,
Cloth tops on boots are coming back again. So far, the chosen shades are grey, beige and tan Another new note is the gauntlet glove, showing a cuff worked, in coloured checks. Black and white tops for black or white kid gloves are the natural consequence, of such a fashion, but there are also to be scen brilliant colours worked in with the white jade and Veronese greens, mustard and vermillion. For those who hesitate to adopt these somewhat ultra designs, there are more subdued ones showing a band in black or raven blue" across the top of the gauntlet,
Dark shades predominate when it is a question of millinery, and if colour is desired it is added with a bright feather or brilliant ornament. Velvet and hatter's
plush reign supreme. Such a thing a straw or lace hat is not, for the mo- ment, to be seen in Paris. "The toque shape is as popular as ever, especially for wear with the elegant type of tailor made have just described. The wide brimmed hat, however, is much more worn than in the past and is likely to become more and more favoured as the craze for lace as a trimming develops, for there is nothing so becoming and picturesque as a wide-brimmed hat over which droops fringe of soft ince, just sufficiently to shade the eyes of the wearer and lend added mystery. Ostrich plumes carled round the crown and dropping over the brim at one side are favoured by those who can afford such a luxury, especially Fin cases where a brilliant note of colour- ing is desired. Stiffish bows jutting out at the side are worn" by those who affect an appearance of strict smartness, whilst glycerined' ostrich feathers are chosen by the woman inclined towards the drooping type of hat and trimming.
The Younger Set follow the example of their elders and decorate their hats and frocks with a lavish supply of lace. For party wear there is nothing so dainty na a net frock much betrimmed with soutache and finished with trails of rose buds. Organdia or Georgette, flounced so that the skirt stands out liko the. petals of a full-blown rose, is delightful for the girl in her teens, especially if agirdle of ribbon is added and tied with Boating streamers on, each side. For colder days there are cosy frocks trimmed with bands of oire or patent leather, and on most of the clothes des tined for juvenile wear this season there is a tendency towards checks and stripas. Coats are all full, and are apt to give their wearers the appearance of. a tub cut in half. Hats, like those worn by grown-ups, depend mostly for orga „mentation, on, iące.
