As to coats, the Parisienne has a great choice among numerous loose redingotes for day and even- ing wear. Very juvenile boleros are

worn over dresses, and to show to the world that Paris has not lost its spirit of gaiety, the Parisienne sets on her hats and dresses a crowd of detalls in very amusing 'ways: a huge bow on each side of a jacket; a bunch of flowers wrap- ped in a ribbon set in the manner of a surgeon's electric bulb, or up- side down; the same bunch set on the shoulder close to the neckline; a pocket has the shape of a shell, étc.
COLETTE
ADVISES YOU
Bandanas are all the rage now. If you wear one-
DON'T, let the bandana com- pletely cover up the hairline. It's the picturesque peasant, not the Woebegone Immi- grant, you're emu- Tating.
If you have a pro-
trading - tummy- DON'T get dresses skin-tight in bright colour across the
middle.
Hats have as much variety in their forms. A milliner presents two amusing clown-like hats with a big pointed crown, one inclined forward, with feathers climbing on the top, its small brim turned up tapering to the front, and the other a mixed style of a medieval pointed crown and Directoire brim, adorned with a garland of flowers and a ribbon knotted under the chin. Some are becoming and charming: sailor-hats, bambins, to be etc. A well-known Parisian mil- liner gives her preference to the Scotch glengarry shape. Flat broad brimmed hats are of great smart- ness for evening wear. Veils seem to have taken a definite place this
season.
A word about shoe: they are. generally of several lovely colours and of various forms, but the latest is the Chinese style with a very thick sole, which the Parisienne will wear as well for sports, in town, and at night, and which. small women... will certainly ap- [preciate.
Zelie.
DO show the hair at the top of the Jiead and the sides. Cleverly fold in the sides of the scarf to make a solt, flattering frame for the face. As much thought goes into the way a peasant girl wears her shawl as a vamp gives to her chiffons and veils.
DO have a free and easy-bloused silhouette above
the waist at.front and-sides.
ON FASHION!
If you're not so young as you used
DON'T attempi the definitely youthful hat that Lies under the chin. There are chin ribbons galore-a plquant fashion for youth: relentlessly, erual for age.
