PARIS FASHION NOTES.
[FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT,
ISARNE RAMSAY.].
PARIS, August 15th.
For the time being there seems to be & conspiracy among designers and mil liners to concoct hats that shall not be made of straw. It is as though they the obvious all said Because straw, is com position for a hat, let's make hats of any and every material but straw." Then, having decided on this method of proce- dure, they have set to work to turn out the
wonderful little works of art that will be bought by buyers from the world over and travel forth to carry on the tradition of taste and elegance of the "Paris hat."
With ribbon to form both foundation and trimming, they are fashioning models of every conceivable type, being helped, of course, in this by the high art to which manufacturers have evolved the modern ribbon. With beautiful widths of moiré, silk, faille, picot, ciré, "velvet, lame, brocade and the new type of ultra brilliant reflections known as cellophane at his command, it is small wonder that he Parisian designer with his keen im- agination is able to create delightfully quaint and original models for wear in the morning, afternoon and evening. For the tradition which rules that the dress one wears in the morning may not be worn in the afternoon, and the gown displayed at some afternoon function may not on any acount be shown off at an evening party, applies with equal strictness to hate, and, nlthough all three types may be made of ribbon, this same rule has been none the less in operation. and influenced the designer so that, in his mind, he has had in view the creation, not merely of a hat, but of a morning hat, an afternoon hat or a theatre coiffure.
A model I saw recently in a rue de la Paix show-room that had been design- ed for wear with simple tailor-mades or morning frocks was in black ciré ribbon lined with cerise; the form followed that of the rolled turban of the Indians, alter- nate atranda of black and cerise being laid on in such a way as to cover up the foundation material; plaited strands of the same ribbon, ending in a ribbon cabochon nad floating ends, was attached to the middle of the crown and formed the only trimming. Navy blue picat-edge faille ribbon, woven in imitation of a rush basket and placed over a boat-shapćů close-fitting form, was another neat and becoming morning model: its claim to originality consisted in its trimming. which was merely a couple of strands of the same ribbon fastened on the top of the hat on the right side, drawn ander- neath the chin and fastening with a cockade of ribbon high up on the left sice, long ends of the ribbon being allow- ed to trail down.
For afternoon wear, there was a large Breton sailor shape covered with out. ward loops of wide raven blue velvet lined with pink, the ends being cut like a fish's tail and brought back so as to form a kind of lining for wing the face in a

Another afternoon e was also made of large widths of reversible velvet; où this occasion they were loody plaited so as to form the crown, the ends being Looped under a very wide brim. As trim- ming, there was a loop with several ends Bet jauntily on the very edge of the brim at the left side, and, as a little extra note of harmony, there was a muff to match this hat, made of the same velvet run on in a series of gathered frills and finished with a stish how and ends placed in the top band corner.

expressing themselves. Taffetas and the old-world fabric, shot silk, which has recently come to the fore for dresses and hats, are perhaps more favoured than crepe de Chine because. they adhere to the present-day rule, which demands that all fabrics must be shiny and glistening to be fashionable. Edmée Fiavenet combined both taffetas and rib- ben. in a pretty model with a wide turned- up brim with an iregular brim fashioned of pigger taffetas and trimmed with a huge cockade of different coloured gathered ribbons placed underneath the brim on the right side, several strands of the rib- bens being allowed to follow the lead of all ribbons and trimmings just now and truj: nu 2. pver the wearer's shoulder.
