PARIS FASHIONS NOTES.

{FROM OUR SPECIAL, CORRESPONDENT, ISABEL BAMBAY.]

PARIS There exista a rule in the canone of good French dressing which appears to women of other nations to be quaint rather than anything else. This law, which is as immutable as any laid down by the Medes and Persians, consists in never appearing in the street in other than & coat or cape; a break of this rule is known by the droll expression: to go dutere taille. Women on their Way to market, shop giris, business girls

and others may go out in waist.” if they like, but for the society woman who must be a slave to fashion the thing is In Winter, the must wear a

impossib mit or also cover up her dress

with a thick cost; in Summer, she may appear in a light tailored suit, other wise, no matter how high the temperne ture, she must cover up her light frock with a cape of some sort. A. realisation of this rule of dressing explains why capes appear to be always fashionable in Paris

The idea may bare originated with the advent of the motor car and the necessity it brought about of swathing oneself in a dust cont. Whatever the origin, bow- ever, the dust coat of yesterday remains the fashionable cape of to-day that swathes in correct elegance the woman with the Reils. Boyce as well a her elegant, but less wealthy, sister who never "travels except by tram.

Designers have been in a gracious mood lately and created capes that are elegant enough to satisfy the heart of the most fastidions. The shades chosen are in- variably white or black, and any material seems to speal to them from a light gar- bardine to the fiasiest of Georgette or ninon de soie. Some of the more decora tive capes are even figuring in lace fringe. As to the cut and line of them, there is no end. For the trim, smart little figure there are short musketeer capes that swing from the shoulders and end just below the waist either in a straight hem or rounded off

опе

There are long, clinging capes with no sleeves whatever and others, again, with slits or some other pretence of an open- ing at the sides for the arms to paas through. There are capes that finish with high collars. Tuffles or bands of fur or feathers, and there are others that are content to finish off with a band of braid or ribbon. A particularly elegant model which I saw at the Grand Prix was in black garbardiae lined white satin; the top part was loose and almost sloppy in cut and bloused over a low waist-fine. whilst the lower part was a "series" of four panels that added a line of severe straightness to the silhouette, at the same time creating a pretty effect by showing Heeting glimpses of the white satin lin-

ing as the wearer The idea of the paraded the lawns. mixture of black and white was as economical as it was elegant, for obviously, such a cape was reversible and would be utilised with the white side to the world, and the black forming the beach during

the Summer..

Last

there was a rage for capes that showed a round yoke added to a skirt part of accordeon-pleated material.. Nothing was more becoming than these capes until they became so common that |UID" woman" of. fashion could dare to be

seen any longer wearing one.

This year, the yoke remains the same on some capce, but the skirt part is no longer pleated, either in accordeon or knife pleats.

In

There is also a type of cape that is so simple that a square or oblong piece of material is all that is needed for its construction. which consists merely in gathering one side into a band and add- ing a ribbon each side, by means of which it is held in place across the shoulders. A band of ruffles may finish the top or, in place of the ribbons, there may be a atrap crossing in front, and fastening with a fancy button ou one side, spite, however, of its extreme simplicity, it is surprising how very effective some of these capes can look. A line less severe may be obtained by rounding off the hem. One of the prettiest innovations launch- ed at Longchamp recent was time tra parasol.

One of these, araw sunshades I noticed was in a pale mauve shade and was edged with a band of Parma violets; another. was in a light yellow shade and was edged with buttercups: whilst a third was in a lovely rose shade with a two inch band of ostrich plumes in the same shade adding a touch of grace and light- ness to the edge, and a coquettish bunch of the same feathers encircling the base of the ferrule. The fect of these when worn with a dainty.frock was parasola channing, but when the wearer (or should, one say carrier "1) added a hat made of the same straw and, perhaps, a bag as well, the result was one of the most. original and becoming to be seen any- where on the course.
