PARIS FASHION NOTES.
[FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT,
15ABEL "RAMBAY,]
KID-SEASON FASHION.
PARIS, May 25th.
Just when we were recovering from the round of visits to the Spring collections of the big couturiers and settling down to the idea of seeing women getting about in knee-length skirts for the remainder of the season, these indefatiguable Rag Kings return to the onslaught by an- Douneing Да showing of mid-season fashions, and overwas buyers are kept busy in consequence passing in reviewy nix or seven hundred models a day in their round of visits to the different big show rooms.
SIMPLE SILHOUETTE.
Although all of the models shown öff by the bored-looking mannequins are quite new, they differ very little from these with which the season opened. All the designers seemed to have agreed on the essentials of fashion these days, that is the extreme shortness of skirts, falling that is introduced into the front of skirts rather than the back, a fare move- ment from the hips, pleats, and a general silhouette that retains simple, straight Each deals with these details in his or her own particular way,

· LIGHT FLUFFINESS,
I Louiso Boulanger's collection, I noticed a predominance of satin-back and fancy crepes in warm shades of rust, brick, tomato, madonna and royal blus. The popular printed chiffons were also to be seen in any profusion. Most of these were made up into alternoon frocks that showed bouffant types of skirts in which ounces, pleats, frills, cireular cut effects and a general light fluffiness were the chief characteristics rather than straight, clinging lines. Points in over- skirts and box pleats were other fr quent Tratures of this collection. Mang of the afternoon models were completed by a kind of short tunic that bound the hips at the back but gathered falling in the front where it fell in an apron effect. Other suits made of raven Buch satin were completed with quaint jackets that were longer in front than at the back., Many of the straight redingote type of costs were made of a striped satin ma terial that is one of the most popular novelties in the way of material of the season. It has made its appearance o doubt as a successor to the yogue for stripes and patterns made by inverting the material. This looks as though strips of satin and corded silk had been l
Coвtx ternated, and the most Bective are being made of it, and (a fact those of a stoutish inclination will be delight ed with) slit dp the sides. The idea of lining a coat with the same material as that of which the dress to be worn with it is made, also continues to be one of the most popular features for en- sembics. I saw the most charming ex- amples of this last week at Paton's The dresars were made of figured crepes de Chine in xhades of blue in dresden and darker nattier tints, and the coats, or jackets (as there is at present a very great vogue for hip length jackets with ensembles), were of navy blue reps or alpaca and were lined with the same figured materia as that of the dress. Paton is also showing a number of after- noon frocks made of materials printed in diagonal checks in varying shades, with short jackets of a darker harmonis- ing shade lined with the same materi al, that are most attractive, and, also most practical at this changeable time of the year when one never knows just how ♬

Smiles
There are different kinds of smiles, smiles of impudence, superior smiles, and smiles, and smiles of contentment which are rays of human sunshine, sir, like the Kensitas smile.
Yes, sir, you do smile when you smoke Kensitas.
You are contented because Kensitas are good as good cigarettes can be."
