PARIS FASHION NOTES,
(PROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT, ISABEL, RAMSAT. }
PARIS, July 24th. The prosent souson is one of plaita ; there are-plaits round hats, plaita round dresses, plaits round capes and plaits round scats, and there are also pisita round any of the many accomories which go to make up the toilette of an elegant Parisienne. This. craze arises no doubt, from the fact, that the ruling passion in dross is for simplicity. From the big designer down to the little midinette who makes her hats and dresses during the lunch hour in the Tuileries Gardens, all are preoccupied with " the ane thought-how little they can put on a hat without actually leaving it a bare shape, and how litllo they can put into a dress in the way of line and decoration,with- out learing it more or less like a coloured. nightdrese. The modern idea of trimming is a paradox which consists in an effort to ornament a dress or hat, not by putting things on but by taking things off.
Hats are ridiculously simple. This is no departure from the old order of things which bare made a ̈“ Paris hat "a synony- mous term for perfection in this particular branch of art, merely because Parisian milliners "have realised the importance of wing simple. As in the past, a Paris hät still rulies for offset eg, a wonderfal line un- broken by the addit'oa of unnecessary tri ne min, a beautiful straw left serenely alone to shine in all its glory, or a perfect note of colour to catch and fascinate the eye; but each and every one of these effects has been | rolneed to its most simple possible form.
Plaits,being considered one of the simplest forms of expression, they are to be seen on all sides. Long tubes of ribbon or silt are padded with a stiff cord, and these are woven into tight plait and laid round the base of the crown. One enlour may be usul or several woven together! Phits of this description, only much big- ger, are used on dresses in the form of agirdle or short shoulder straps for even- ing wear. Plaits woven of eight or ten strands are used as a belt for coats, in the form of a collar or as cuffs. Plaits of woven ribbon or tinsel are used as an orna ment for the hair, plaits of meire, or fine kid are used as a handle or a fnish to a lundbag, and plaits even figure as a decoration to sunshades. In the house. plaits are again to be seen-on cushions, edging lumpshades, or holding back
curtains.
When even a plait cound a bat is con- sidered to be un extravagant form of trim- ming, a coloured silk handkerchief is swathed tightly round the crown. When the hat is a shape covered with taffetas, crepe de Chine or crepe Maroccain, this is simplified still farther by substituting a piece of the same material covering the hat and swathing it in the same way; when the hit is in straw, it is bound with a narrow width of ribbon, and a piece of silk or crepe de Chine t match both straw and ribbon is swathed round the crown. Tabua ia a shade one sees a great deal of treated in this way. Such a hit may be worn with a tailor-made, or it may add an elegant finish to a dress worn at a wedding or reception.
For wording wear, there are smaller hats Lerushed' right down on to the bea?, mostly tarned up at one side down at the other, with a huge windmill bow or a feather nestling on the turned-down side. For this purpose, certain departments of Paria shops are massed with feather ornaments of every conceivable description; clumps of ostrich feathers and shiny cock's feathers, balls of these latter stripped and with just a dia moud-shaped tip waving at the top, or else this same bumble plumage pasted on a strip of cloth and buckran and tipped by brilliant coloured beak so that they look like some unearthly parrot of a bad dream. With the soft plumage of the pheasant snug little balls are made and sometimes a benk or spike is stuck up in the mid- dle so that, in a way, they look like mini- ature laes trees. From the tail of the pheasant, long wispy feathers are taken, and they are either left in their natural shades er else dyed black or some bright colour. Another idea is to take an ostrich feather, pick out every second strand, and then bend back those remaining and catch them on to the quill-a process which produces an efect resembling the vertebrae of some weird extinct ahimg); one or more of these are then lail round the base of the efown. If trimming is not applied to a bat" in this way, or if it does not consist of a handker- chief or piece of material swathed round the crown, it snuggles into the crown at the right side, nestles on the brim, or else juts out from it at an inconvenient right angle for passers-by.
