WHAT SMART WOMEN ARE WEARING
THE STYLES IN PARIS
Paris.
PRE-VIEW
Smurt Englishwomen who pay flying visits to Paris all ask one question. They want to know what smart Parisiennes are wear- ing, That is just what I have news of now,
What seems to be a high spot #t the collections "or" at Long- champ, and what is worn by the chic Pursienne is very often quite different proposition. Sea- sational models which cause much tulk and argument: do not always "catch on."
a
At the moment, everyone seems to be wearing a printed, tailored Jacket with a plain sk.rt.
Jackets are in linen. taffeta, k or cotton, printed usually with flower design, either large or small. I they are strictly tailored, the lupels match the skirt-for stance, a white Jacket printed with gay sprigs of flowers bas a black skirt and black lapels,

The blouse, if not of the same material
38 the jacker, is of mousseline. with an important Jabot, Jabots, by the way, are ons of the big features of the season.
Plain White piqué jackets are also seen
with dark skirts and dark blouses. White, in fact, is very significant, and the redingote of white plqué, nipped-in at the waist. flaring at the skirt, is an Interesting arrival. It has been worn by some very elegant women at recent race meetings and gave dute a new note.
Formal afternoon frocks have a neatly tailored look, and the ex- aggerated sleeve has almost dis- appeared. Necklines are high and unsophisticated and the all-lace all-tulle suft. tailored like silk or wool, has been noticed these recent few hot days in Paris.
Printed frocks with loose brited Jackets are much in evidence. Unbelted jackets, short in front and dipping at the back. are sometimes ined with a dark material,

BELTS ARE NEWS
Belts are news. At Chartly I daw a simple black frock, reilered by a black belt covered, in frotat with little white daisies. While gloves and a large white bat, trin med with white daisies, completed the ensemble.
Evening frocks are much beited. A black tulle dress had a broad garland of gold leather try leaves endreling the waist. Another lace frock had a wide belt of plaited velvet in three vivid and contrast- ing colours. The extravaga Jewelled belts of last year have quite vanished,
The popular evening frock is slim, with fullness starting from " the knees. There is much lace. satin and taffeta about. Some women wear paillette-embroidered" jackets and swagger coats of an evening. Others like small oval-. shaped fur capes in sable, fox,"or ermine
Latest novelty is the short tulle cape, in three or as many as five different and contrasting colours
Het shapes are varied. Crowns
are either painted, or very shallow. or rather high. High crowns are sometimes crushed down like an opera-het.
The rage just now is the straw. hat shaped like a man's Homburg And dented in the middle; this is worn both in the morning and the afternoon, the afternoon model generally softened by a vell, and is usually in white.
FLOWERS AND HATS
London.
In London women are wearing flower garden fashions. Hats are massed with lies of the valley or ox-eyed dalsies, and neck yokes are blossom encircled.
Dresses are flower printed, so are ̈ square "boxy" taffetas coats. Little oval dipping coats of white pique. crepon fabrics. or Linen have flowers as link "buttons" to fasten them at the throat.

Flowers are massed under shal- low straw hats, as well ELS set around their crowns," or in front of brimless caps.

showing is to have, not only big Another fancy which women are sun organdie collars frocks or as sleeveless fronts for tailored suits, but to have "ple" frills and Elizabethan ruffles trim- ming their hats as an alternative to flowers, and surprisingly charm- ing these are.
Long. plain "box" coats are worn over det, spot Davy taffetas, full
or flower-printed dresses.
Coloured gloves are favoured, es- pecially in dark violet, prune or brown

pale pink stitched gauntlets to match her small pink toque.
Light grey flannel suits, perfect- ly tailored, are much in evidence among smart women. Bowler Tats are worn with them in white felt
straw, or in matching colours. A shiny straw tambourine hand- bag, and a long silver hat brooch from which dangle coloured enamel and sliver lucky charms are race- going concelts sponsored by Eng- lish women.

BEACH WEAR SHOWS A MORE FEMININE TREND
'Shorts. bloomer and pyjama sults are on the way for summer holidays and have charm which makes this type of beach wear look more feminine,, Whether in plain or spotted linen, shantung or ins- sare, designers give many of these garments overall frocks, coats tal- lored to seral-Atted redingote shape and capes. There is a knee length kilted skirt joined up to a "chemisier blouse as cover to rom- pers and brassiere. There is an- other skirted version, but shorter and more like a kilt in tartan checked linen set beneath a back- less waistcoat of white pique and white pique "smoking" jacket.
Original, too, 19 a Heim Jacket tailored from white, scarlet and rust light-weight flannel for wear with black pebbly linen skirts and bloomers. This looks very smart
and coma be worn for week-ends and country sports with shorts in the omng for beach wear.
Black Hinen Jackets make attrac- tive outlines with little "frocks of light colour, such as oatmeal belge self-toned checked linen. An all- white linen tailored suit looks im peccable with a Norfolk pleat at the back of the jacket and sleeves fitted out to hunch up at shoul- dexs.

..King-cup yeclow linen is another interesting note for a summer overcoat dress style. With the ex- ception of shorts and bloomers; all these styles will do double duty for town and holiday wear.

Fresh ideas bring a charge to "pareos" and "dispheas," the combination of long outer garment sun-bask-matilot which Las apparently become a classic in spe- cial beach-wear styles. Scarlet and white spotted olled silk with matching pareo" is one new ex- ample, and ruby red/shirred rel- vet another. The latter is tur wear beneath a big floral pattern- ed white and black opaque linen over-cloak. The maritiore" 18 out, but more variations are on the way. It is the new version of beach-wear gown in exclusive printed cottons and linens as well as white pique 'to cover sun-bask- ing maillots for informal restaur- ant dining. The models that have appeared up to date are smartly. fattored with full ground length nems and jacketa.
