-PARIS FASHION NOTES.

[FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT,

IBABEL, HAMBAY, 197-

;

PARIS, November 91st. Never was there a fashion more favour able to all women; never was there a time when women with neither the athletis grace of Dians nor the haughty majesty of Minerva could follow slavishly every whimg of Dara Fashion knowing that by so doing they would. only be adding to the dainty charm of their appearance. It very often happens that designs quite forget this category tof femininity when they are hatching new plans for the season ahead, and reckless ly ordain the wearing of frills and foundes, large hata and other lines that it is quite impossible for the small woman to carry off with any degree of success; but this season, everything is in hor favour, and it is the very tall woman Who will have to take care when choosing her gowns for fear they will accentuate too forcibly her height and her slimness. The straight "chemise." type of frock (which by the way, seems to be as much worn as that under-garment itself) is an ideal line for the very small woman be cause it creates for her an icon of height; it is equally desirable for the very stout woman because it appears to take off for her all, or most, of her superfious flesh; but for the very tall. woman, especially if she is on the thin aide, it is apt to prove dangerous if she is not careful to choose materials and trimmings. in such a way as to combat the affect it would have of making her appear what the French call, rather aptly, planche (beard).

Never, either was the fashion so favourable to the woman with a email purse, is no dress has ever been so easy to cut and arrange as the chemise! frock It must not be either too tight or too ample, but once the juste milieu has been obtained there only remains the matter of trimming to decide and add,

Secing that there is practically nothing in one chemise" frock to distinguish it from another, everything depends on the triming for the expression of one's individuality. With a foundation so absolutely neutral for a foil, there is no bimit to the choice of colour and material permissible. As a matter of fact, all these dresses hardly seem to exist at all except as a raison d'être for the exhibi tion of something extra beautiful in the way of girdles or something extra-lavish in the way of far. Starting ideas i embroidery are also introduced, and many new and shiney materials that could only be made up into gowns which are the Hast inte in simplicity have been created as a result of the popularity of this style! Chanel la responsible for the launching of a most original idea in quilted satin this is made up sa a, rule, into the light type of coat that Parisiennes wear an all ball-seasons, but the most original of frocks can also be designed in this material. Coats and skirts and evening coats can be of the very smartest when made of this fabric, which possesses, ne well as its qualities of elegance those of being neither too light for wear in winter (seeing it is lightly padded) nor too heavy for wear in summer. I saw a very effective cost frock in this quilted antin at Longchamp the day the Muni- cipal Grand Prix was run in black, it. had motifs embroidered in grey corded. ailk on it, and was trimmed with revers of black satin and two rows of grey fringe on the skirt part, sloping towards the waist line on the right side; the black satin has worn with this costume was also trimmed within, bunch of grey fringe." each side to match

Another model elaborately quilted and embroidered in dull shades of silk, was perfectly plin.in, cut, depending for effect on the beauty of the material and the addition of a deep band of monkey fur round the hem and a monkey-edged scarf Another coat and skirt in quilted satin was also trimmed with bands of -monkey-fur-round the bem of the coat and an edging of the same fur.on collar and cuffs, and a cape I saw the same day, certainly suggested revival of some early Victorian model; it was made in a succession of tiers, each of which was edged with bands of monkey for and finished with a collar of it closed up round the throat; a close-fitting toque laden with masses of the ever-popular monkey fur was added, giving the wearer the appearance of a Figian native in full war-paint. v, na wide ra

Chanel had also carried out the same idea in duvetyn and launched that day every smart tailored muit in putty coloured davetyn, the only trimming of which were scrolls of a quilted design worked on it in patty-coloured aïlle:

For evening wear, the whole success of the gown must necessarily lie either in the beauty of the material itself, or the richness of the trimming; colour, too, plays its part.
