Notes From Paris
Lucien Lelong's new autumn and winter dresses show that the de- signing of dresses may be almost an exact science. He claims to nike clothes independent of colour for their beauty; if all were entirely black, he declares, they would look just the same.
He uses dull soft woollens for morning dresses and coats and skirta with fur trimmings, buttons and { bright blouses. The basqued jacket | may fit close or have some spring to the hip Rusty grey, brown, Bordeaux red, and green, are pre- vailing colours. Velvet for the avening is rich and bright, Black and brown Ottoman silk and taffetas make dinner dresses and late after noon costumes with for fur. Capes are full and reach below the waist; line; in front ribbons are crossed to tie behind.

ABOUT YOUR JEWELS
Care is Important
That Touch Of White
is surprising how few women attend to their jewels as re- egularly or as carefully as they should. Yet jewellery of any kind whether it is real or limitation, is only at its best when it is free from dust, and tầngish.

Pearls, for instance, require re- stringing at least tince every four months, for this is a practice which not only ensures their safety, but which also makes it possible for the accumulated dust to be removed from the holes. Sometimes pearls become dull. When this happens, the only reli- able method of restoring them to their former lustra is by keeping them for several hours in powder- | ed magnesia. After a time the powder may be shaken out and the pearls may then be polished with a soft chamois leather, they are very duser, it is a good A Revere lined with pique in the Tripolitan desert, in addi-Kutra population.

Fulgree silver and gold should be washed in 'lukewarm water to which a little ammonia has been added; and afterwards dried with a soft duster and polished with a leather. Plain gold, platinum,"or silver jewellery should be brushed with a little whitening which has been slightly moistened with methylated spirit. This mixture will dry in a few minutes and if the whitening is then brushed off with a soft brush a brillant po- Hah will result.
The evening dresses are long; some have trains. They are slim from hips to knees, where they grow wide to the feet. The sleeve is short and the shoulder drapery is either drawn from the front to fall in long ends down the back, after being caught in at the waist, to the hem of the skirt, or drawn from the back to be carried down the front of the skirt in loops, or in a sash bow. Some long draperies take the form of sleeves looped to the hem of the skirt: others are looped from the hips. In soft crepes and satins they give almost a winged appear

There is the same fashion in fur trimmed evening wraps. A silver grey satin dinner dress is worn with a grey velvet cape trimmed with blus fox. A black velvet dinner dress has a silver chain loop- ed from the shoulder to the waist and is worn with a black velvet-and white ermine cape.
Lucile Paray uses black velvet with fox fur on the shoulders for afternoon dresses. She makes wall fitting conts and skirts with blouses of so't hairy woollens with fur trimmed shoulders and broad belts. The basques of the coats and blouses are flat and close-fitting. The skirts have stitched out seams to give them a piped effect. They are trimmed mostly with astrakan, and button down the front as dresses button down the side. Buttons are decorative Blouses may be of satin or lame, and of light bright colours, with long or short sleeves. All Licile Paray's trimmings are about the shoulders and neck. Some sleeves have the pinched point to give width at the shoulders; others have a pointed drapery. Below the elbow sleeves are tight-fitting and untrimmed. There are simple black crepe satin afternoon frocks and black garnished lace dinner dresses A dinner dress of black taffetas has pink reching running under black raching about the shoulders and round the hem of the skirt.
