PARIS FASHION NOTES.
ROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT, 19ABEZ RAMSAY.]
PARIS, October 3rd.
· Last week I wrote of the present craze for fur trimming on tailored suits and coats; since then I have visited several of the expositions of the big interior de Loosatbes and noticed that they are using fur in their house decorative schemes just as much as the big designers in the rue de la Paix are wing it on their dresses and hata
No cushion is complete unless it his strips of fur trimming it or bands of fu: edging it, likewise, no hassock is designed without fur figuring somewhere about it. One of the most popular objects in a modern drawing room.or boudoir is the pouf or floor cushion. This is generally cat on very generous lines and may be oblong, square or round in shape, or else the shape of the homely bolster. Black antin is a favourite material with design-1 ers for these cushions, the more elaborate ones having motifs of gold work. about them or strips or patches of Chinese embroidery. They are never very nume rous, two (or three at the most) being all that would be tolerated in a room. Because where good taste dominates. they are purely objects of decoration rather than utility, they are chosen with discretion to create some new or to com- plete some already-existing effect of a room, and usually they are as costly as a beautiful vase or ornament. In keeping with the vogue for tur na a trimming, these floor cushions are seized upon by designers as a means for expressing the quaintest and most original of their ideas in this direction. Some that Revillion is showing are simply maases of different kinds of fur blended together in a design as intricate as that of any piece of em- broidery. Others depend upon the effect of inser- one particular fur and add an tion of another, a motif of Oriental splendour or huge tassels in fur or bullion Effective contrasts are to be obtained by blending seal with squirrel, ermine with Monkey sable or moleskin, and so on. fur is used sparingly on the occasions, the form of rarely appearing except tassels or fringe."
As fur is such a prohibitive price these days and ene to be approached by per- Bons with bulging pockets, furriers have thought out a host of ways for imitating the costlier types with aid of our mach cursed rabbit. The majority of seal skin" one sces is nothing more than bunny shaved and dyed; in this new form he is called electric seal" Gontskin. also, is disguised, the imitation this time being of monkey fur
As well as cushions, another use to which fur is put is tant of decorating sola and bed covers. The most beautiful of these are made from some piece of antique material, brocade, taffetas" or shot silk-the fur being run on in bands! Narrow strips of fur are or squares. used and, if odd pieces of silk are utilised the joins can be hidden by this means
Another distinctive note about modern house decoration is the prevalence of black. The very latest idea as furniture is to take ordinary white pine and paint it black with a kind of lacquer paint that makes it shine like the most pril liant carriage body. On to this is paint- ed or tacked motifs expressing either" Oriental or Impressionist ideals, bril- liant colours and touches of gold being the chief characteristica. The line of modern furniture is always as simple as it can possibly be,, straight lines and ovals appealing more than anything

Lamp shades, play a very important part in the modern home. The glare of unshaded lights is unbearable to eyea accustomed to suggestions and half tones; Biomater therefore, the lampshade is now regarded as necessity as much as a decoration. Modern designers rarely conceive it in brilliant shades, and on occasions when their fantasy runs to cerise or some gan equally flamboyant colour they never fail to veil it in chiffon, georgette, net or gold or silver lace. Gold pet or lace
is just as much used on shades as fur
