Fashion will concentrate skirts this autumn and winter."
There are pointed skirts touch- ing the floor in as many as four places; there are skirts with points in front and behind. There are skirts with, hems that dip, and skirts with hems that are raised in the front.
For young girls there are bal- lerina dresses, and little girl" skirts which are very full, and show petticoats all round.
DARK DAHLIA TONES
At the Baroque showing there were a dozen kinds of skirt, but, the peacock silhouette with a front dip was the most prominent.
Olive and mandarin, green, pansy violet and dark dahlia tones were star colours.
Many Chinese patterns were em- broidered on "black taffetas or velvet in silver and silks in Oriental colours,
A cloqué pique dress in white had a delicate floral background Ja pink, red and gold.
15 TARDS FOR A DRESS
Chinese white dresses in heavy piqué damask, such as was used in Victorian days for bedspreads, had vivid mandarin green velvet sashes for draperies. An evening coat in this materiaf had the neck and shoulders smothered in gardenlas. Mr. Vai St. Cyr, who designed the Collection, showed a dress of 15 yards of heavy ivory taffetas.
It had a sweeping dip-up line in front, showing an accordion- pleated petticoat of white chiffon, and it flowed out into an oval train, It had trimmings of nar- row brown fur.

VEIL TO COVER THE HEAD
A crinoline dress in black velvet nad a skirt with two hoops, 1 panel of silver embroidery in front, and a waistband of ermine. A flowing, transparent lace vell of black, which entirely covered the head, was attached to the waist- band.
A long wedding coat of pink face had pointed train, and was worn over a pink satin dress. In- stead of a vell, there was a draped turban in pink crepe-de-chine.
Velvet wraps in gorgeous deep colours were shown-clematis.pur- ple, dark olive green and pansy violet.
New Shades In Red And Green
A truly Parisian collection in the Jean Patou tradition displays per- fect technique in cut and work- manship for a new silhouette `in two Individual colours-"Rouge · Florentin" and "Vert Armure." These are worked up alone and the red sometimes in conjunction with black. This red is becoming in a rather dark shade with the
tone. green ranging
between verdigris and olive which looks: as sleek as black in afternoon dresses of crêpe satin with matt and brilliant sides bringing different movements in design.
Matt yoke and long tight-fitting sleeves one example for an en- semble with matching coloured lainage coat showing goldenseal within revers and high collar.
Afternoon coats are redingote nitted. and dresses of the new svelte unbelted outline define no particular walst. In this collection Du these, styles they can be classi- fed as either short or long.
Evening gowns contrast waist- line accuracy or. this Svelte silhouette and trail off into short pointed trains from split or draped fronts: Some of these hemlines are "petal." disposed with red or black glistening sequins forming the base and repeating" corsage motifs in flat movements before shoulders of low decolletages.
On the other hand. an elegant evening gown of the new red shows a decolletage opening sur- rounded by a sable frill dipping from cupped bust to low back opening. Another idea is to make stiff muslin evening gowns of a new plissé that knife plents down from the waist-line into a broad hem finished at ground length by a cut-out design similar to Chi- nese paper lanterns or, if you like. collapsible pie-crust frills. This motif lessens in breadth as sur- rcund to the squared decolletage of an electric blue gown.

One idea is to have two large suède roses fustened on a slim belt. They are matched twin flowers worn on the corsage or the lapel of a coat.
White suède roses on a black belt are smart. The belt, which has the flowers fastened in front, ulës with black cords. Red or gold flowers with black are other effec- tive alliances.

Colours For Autumn And Winter
FROM A CORRESPONDENT
Fashions for the autumn ́ and winter are being shown by the dressmakers. Parls 13 crowded with buyers from all parts of the world. Some of the autuma. col- ours are old favourites, others are distinctly new. Dark wine-reds, always good for the autumn, pre- dominate. and blue-grape and blackberry colours are in favour. Nigger-brown and lighter russet, chinamon and gingerbread-browns are shown by all houses. Sporta- clothes come in deep, soft shades of green. Peacock-blue is an un- usual colour for afternoon coats, but green-blues are more frequent
Smooth-surfaced woollen mate- rials woven in new designs are cor- rect
for tailored clothes. Im- peccable tailoring allied to original Ideas make the Creed collection Interesting. The coats and tallor- mades are double-breasted and fasten with two vertical rows of plain buttons. Long town coats are trimmed with fur collars, but have they" may
facings of contrasting colour upon the revers. Thus a black coat with a collar, belt, and buttons of black astrak- han has gay red facings. The shoulders in these tailored coats are broad, but 'waist-Iines are not obligatory. There is a choice be- tween fitted redingotes and coats with full swinging backs. This fullness is given with pleats or folded panels and falls from the lower shoulder-line.
Loose coats vary between finger- tip and three-quarter lengths. Russet-brown jackets are braided with black and go with black dresses. Chevron tweeds and striped tweeds are correct for tailored "ensembles." Velvet is for the afternoon, and a pink blouse of silk crêpe goes with.. a tailor- made of ruby-red corduroy-velvet. All Creed's biruses have high necks and long, tight sleeves. They are. of tie-silk figured with small Per- gian designs, of striped satin or of gold and black striped silk. Rose Valols has draped turbans of the same silks to wear with them. Hand-knitted dresses for the autumn are made with the Angst tweed yarns. They may be two- piece "ensembles," and Alleen Rice fastens her bodices with straight or broken rows of tiny tailored buttons.
Velvet blouses are right with knitted jackets and skirts. The revers of these jackets may be faced with contrasting colour. A claret-red jacket has nayy-blue facings to match the skirt. After- noon dresses are closely knitted with narrow silk ribbons. A black ribbon dress fastens with big black and gold sealing-wax but- tons.
Leather coats are coming into Iashion. They have shiny surfaces for sportswear and are lined with checked woollen fabrics. Dull and velvet-surfaced antelope skin is right for more formal-leather gar ments. Marjorie Dunton вре cializes in leader work and tailors It well. Black antelope makes a full-length evening coat embossed with gold kid below the waist- line. A white satin blouse goes, with a smartly tailored black

The furs which will be most fashionable during the coming" winter are astrakhan, broadtall, and Indian lamb. These smooth- surfaced furs are right for collars and incrustations upon jackets and dresses. Fitted boleros of astrak- han are made without sleeves, and. they are worn over coats of plain woollen material for cold days. Bleeves and yokes are often cut in fur and the lower portion of the -coat or jacket may be in material of a matching or a contrasting colour, Fox pelts in all colours," silver, blue, and crossed, are the correct furs for the afternoon."
