Pass, October 10th.
At Longchamp on Sunday, when the mannequins from the big ateliers paraded in all their new Autumn finery, there was bardly one who did not have a show.at monkey fur more or less abundant about! her dress, coat or hat. One was wearing a coat frock of rich black and gold brocade, made as plainly as frock can be made, the reason of Buch plaines peing obviously to act as a fun to a deep banu of monkey fur edging the hem and a black scarf edged with the same fur rolled Another Degligently round the neck.
was, wearing a gown in black meteor, trimmed with a band of Arabian embroi dery in red, brown and gold shades finishing the edge that crossed over in front and ended in a straight line on the side in front; this same edge as well as the entire hem of the skirt was finished with a band of monkey fur. An-. black crepe other mannequin wore a Maroccain frock, quite plain in cuż, show- ing excessively wide angel sleeves lined with black taffetas, these and the bodice being covered in a scroll embroidery worked in fue gold thread; to this was added a deep collar of monkey fur. Quite a remarkable costume this, and one that attracted the attention of the most casual passer-by Another gul wore s suit that was original to the xtent of bordering on the eccentrio; a full, rather "sloppy-looking" skirt was worn with a loose-fitting coat drawn into the waist by means of a girdia of jet and ivory beads; the lower part of the coat was finished in a series of panels cut with vandycked edges, and these, as well as the close-fitting collar, were finished with bands of monkey fur.
Last season Jenny launched a" model that became one of the successes of the fashion world; this was a chemise type of frock in some clinging material, bat- toning close round the neck on the left side, the opening being continued down this side to the hem the shade chosen was always black, and the finishing touch was the addition of a frill of white Geor gette or crepe de, Chine running from the top of the collar to the bottom of the skirt. The 1
idea, when it first appeared,
was so original and so becoming that very few women hesitated to adopt it; this sensch it is being carried out in cloth and woollen fabrics, and the Georgette or crepe de Chine, fritl is being replaced: by a band of monkey fur
Next in favour to fur comes embroi dery for trimming Nothing is too lavish or composed of too many colour, the most popular designs being those which are apparently borrowed from Marocco and Arabia. These are carried out in the taway shades running from yellow to brown, and are most effective when carried out against a background of Veronese green or bisek Black and white are also used for trimming, such mag-pie effects appearing on the smartest Ribbon, alap of black or white frocks. plays a grat part in the scheme of decora tion, corded variety being chosen, and black or white in the matter of colour. Tabs, of ribbon, either single and peaked out at the end or else doubled, are sewn on to form a host of pretty designs, the length of each tab being no more than an inch or an inch and a half. Ribbon plaited and woven so as to form check- board patterns is another effective way Ribbon of trimming a frock or hat. streamers are still to be seen on the daintier types of frock, either hanging from a rosette that is placed slightly to the side of dress in front or catching in a loose-fitting chemise frock at each side, thus proving of use, by giving a "shape to what would otherwise be a shape les garment, as well as of decorative
value.
