PARIS FASHION" NOTES.

DROP OF THE WAIST-LINE.

CRAZE FOR BEAUTIFUL LININGS.

(FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT,

IBAMKL. RAMBAY.

PARIS, March sth. ;- The waist-line growa longer and longer, and' threatens to drop, as time goes on,

As far as the knees. Up till now it has reached to a good four or five inches below the normal line, and some design- ors in an attempt to lengthen it, have thought of the idea of making it finish in a peak of curva at the back. This gives to the back an unusually long ling and tends to suggest slimness in the case of the woman who is both fat and forty. Many designers are outlining the waist-line with a strip of monkey fur, a tracing of embroidery, or a band of braid, but the majority are leaving the more simple finish of a join. This plainness is very often finished off with & bunch of pleats, gathers or flutes at each alde, an idea which is what remains to

of the panier craze of last season. An elegant model of this type în mole relours de laine," was made with a shaped back fitting on to a skirt part which also forms along panel up the front; the long waist line dipped at the back, and the skirt was gathered into regular gathers at the sides. For trimming There was a long folding-over sealskiž collar reaching to the waist line in front, a pair of culla in the same fun and a big für button to fasten the coat in front Like all the conts and jackets of the moment, this one was lined with an exquisite patterned silk.

This oreze for beautiful linings is very noticeable and distinct this season. As a rule the simplest of coats will show a most. lovely lining in Egured silk ́or satin, or even brocade. And it is the Kame with the lining of tailor-made jackets. Gone is the white or dark plain lining, and in its place is one on which very often the cost or jacket de-

pends for its effect. An elegant Pari-

sienne will choose the colours of her dress to match the lining of her coat; she will leven go as far is to have her frock match exactly with the lining she has chosen for her coat, so that when this latter garment is thrown open the frock and the lining constitute a perfect bar- mony. A pretty effect obtained in this way showed a black net dinner-gowu embroidered in circular motifs in dull ret, jado and green tones; the coat worn with this was in pearl grey davety, and the satin lining showed circular motifs in dull red, jade and gold tones to match the dress, the whole constituting a most beautiful effect when the wearer slipped off her coat.

In passing I might remark that our

old friend teddy bear cloth will come into fashion once mora this season. At present, it is not much to be seen, but a the days become colder, it will figure in most of the heavy types of cont, and coata destined for wear when motoring will be made almost exclusively from this material.

HAGE OF THE MOMENT.

The tailor-made is the rage of the moment, worn in conjunction with smart furs and a black velvet or hatter's plush kat. More and more the long, slim cost is being worn, and the smart little sac cast,so popular a short time ago is being relegated to the limbo of dead- fashions. Although shaped into the gure, the new cost is by no means stil or hard to wear. It suggests rather than moulds the figure, and even gires. an idea ofalacknets and fullness. The open neck with the roll collar is not. much worn on the new coat; instead, there is a high collar buttoning round the throat either by one fancy button or else fastening with a scarf that is thrown over the shoulder. The tailor- made itself is invariably in black, nigger, or dark-navy, but a bright note is in- troduced with the blouse, which is in some gay shade of crepe de Chine, jersey de note or Georgette, Such a blanse, with one of the elegant linings I have just referred to, supplies all that is want. ed in the way of trimming and decora- tion

Shoes and stockings occupy quite an important place in the wardrobe of a modern woman of fashion. The Tago for silk stockings has increased to such
