Black with fur is worn more than colour. Dresses, and suits of black cloth, Jersey, crepe might look, dull" but for the way they are worn, but hats and trim mings impart the necessary style, and with black velvet coloured or white crepe blouses may be worn,, and with rough woollen coats and skirts ivory satin blouses.
Among Worth's new half-sea- son fashions tailored dresses and Jackets and coats, kkirts and blouses hold first place. With a black woollen coat and skirt are. a 'white' satin blouse and hat; saalakin trims the jacket. A long, silm, black woollen coat with a deep fold-over has a wide soft belt of shiny leather; the small. taque is of bright green feathers. With w black velvet coat and skirt is a yellow jerasy blouse: on the neck line lles a dat tur- quoise-blue enamel necklace, and the toque here can be of black antelope. A belge woollen coat and skirt with a red lining are worn with a red blouse.
For the evening a" Baghzera velvet dress and shoulder scarf of a very dark red is cut severely and draped simply to a train. An Ivory satin dress with a draped front to the skirt it without trim ming. Cord belts, go on some dresses, and gilt clipa trim the neck of a blouse, but, broadly speaking, the charm of Worth's clothes lles in line, colour, and texture.
Crisp looking little jackets, of striped brocades, lames, or vel- vets, may be put over very simple black dresses; they have trim basques with a spring at the hips, wide revers, and one button, or three at the waist."
Erik, who makes hate especial- ly for young women, shows hats with high crowns in front and diminishing backs. Some of them may be worn back to front. On a black felt hat is a little roll of felt in front which can be raised from or lowered over the eyes. A brown felt hat is a beret stand- ing up from a Arm band round the head. Another has a brim in front, but none at the sides, with either a round or square shaped crown. Afternoon? häls have rather high crowns and brima which are rolled back or drawn down irregularly. Erik works with green velvet, black felt, and violet felt; a bright Jade green bears his name Supple quills and little feathers are his usual trimmings.
THE SILHOUETTE
Some Evening Clothes
Dress silhouettes аге almost altering the prevailing stance. Trimming and decoration have steadily progressed backward, and the front was considered able to take care of itse. But now the silhouette is altering fast. When shoulders were exaggerated it be- hoved the Dodo age to hold itself as though it were continually under a drill sergeant. when everybody wore Punchinello pou- ches the Camille Clifford stance obtained. That is, everybody tipped forward above and back behind. Now draperies are trall- ing neck to floor; there are cow! necks at the back, which is ready the proper place for them; capės abound and dresses are caught in at the back of the knees, so that bustle may be produced high or low according to taste. This is altering the way in which wo- men stand.

The dips at the back of the shoulder and cape are causing the shoulders to be held back. Stays are producing an upright- ness. about the waist. The Bot- ticelli slouch bbtains in some of the sheaths, but it is banished from many other kinds of dress. Eul, stately skirts are demanding a carriage which does not look as though the wearer were; sagging at at least one knee. Stance-to-day- is far from Greek. Is it going back to that stiffness which adds to the humour of the old fashion pages?. And is, there no stance which does not have to be adapt- ed to the particular kind of dress worn?

SATIN "Batin is widely used for the closely draped frocks, and amour the colourings brown, dark blue; and wine-colour are often seen. Patou has a smart brown model with a low back.. full s'eeves caught into, a cuff at the upper arm, and a broad belt, draped into tats at the back which fall away from the close fitting skirt. There is a good deal of drapery.
NOVEMBER 29, 1935.
Many ends, which are made to stand away from the main dress in order to emphasise its nes, point the waist and give the hips a slim appearance. Satins and crêpes are both used for the tunic kind of dress. This often takes the forms of a sheath with. per- haps a small split up the front and worn with a tunic also split up the front to the waist and edged wih a small heading. This is one of the indications of how great a place trimiming is taking. It seems odd to put frills on a Greek conception, and on the whole the suffer materials are more in keeping with the frilly movement. Some of the tafetas, as well as stiffened lace, have a short sleeve. and with this is worn a Medic! collar made of the taffetas. It ls much less stiff than the real coliar of this name, but it forms a becoming background for the face and neck, and, worn ́with, a fitting bodice, a full skirt much seamed at the hips, and a big-- bouquet in front of the waist. the whole looks harmonious and not over-elaborated.
