PARIS, January 3rd. I was present one day this week at the

- brilliant reception which the Comite Franco Amoriquo gave to celebrate Mar shal Foch's return from the United States. The function was held at Claridge's Hotel and here were gathered-I'll not go so far. Typing and general office work sock as to say, all the youth and beauty, but at any rate, all the elegance and distinc tion of the diplomatic and social worlds of, Paris.

The Marshal himself puffed hugo cigar and looked as merry away at as a sand-boy whilst holding a miniature court for the many who wished to pay homage to the man in the sky-blue uni- form. The ante rooms and alcoves were filled with non-dancers, whilst in the spacious ball-room the younger set jäized and shimmied to the strains of 40 orchestra.

The assembly was quite interesting from a fashion point of view, because it gave one an opportunity of viewing the latest French and American ideals on this im-entrance. portant question." It did not take long! to realise the fact that the feminine cle ment of both these nations present un animously favoured the straight, draped evening gown.. There were a few. rage exceptions to prove the rule, but the vast majority wore gown as plainly cut and draped as it is possible to confection one. As to colour, there was an amazing amount of white, ivory, and oyster. Except for a few black velvet gowns worn by matrons anxious to tone, down their bulk, there was a total absence of black, which goes to prove how successful has been the campaign against this shade by designers. These black velvet dresses! were always brightened by the addition of a jet ornament or two, and if the wearer had hair that was already turning grey, she copied a babit the French have of powdering it and dressing it high on ber head and off her forehead à la Marie Antoinette. There were also few royal blue velvet gowns, and, when worn by blonde women, the effect was sufficiently attractive to tempt others to follow the example.

The draped dresses were nearly all in satin, charmeuse, brocade and crêpe Maroccain. One stately woman wore a dress in apricot satin which was a com plition of sweeping curves and hanging lines that vanished one into. the other; ber only ormaments were a diamond clasp," catching on the right shoulder a fold which swept aoss the back in a train effect, and a diamond tiara in her hair. She was not alone in her idea of simplic! gity, for nearly every other woman pre- sed wore a gown made on similar lines, both of cut and simplicity of design.

Trains were conspicuous by their absence. I saw one woman wearing a black char meuse draped gown ending in a skimpy wisp of a train which either morped up the dust of the floor or gave its owner obvious anxiely rad trouble to hold across her arm. Decidedly, if designers want women to return to the wearing of trains, they will have to establish classes where their "fair" clients may learn over again the gentle art of being hampered unneces [serily-nad not showing it,

I must say they are inanaging this as far as the length of skirt is conconed, for women are taking with all the grace in the world to skirts which are by now not only to their ankles but an inch or so beyond. In another month or so they will be so long that the most elegant Parisienne will not mind appearing in the street in thread stockings, because she will know that not a centimetre of her leg can be sein. Not only are dresses long, but, seeing it is a crime to appear in the street or at any social reunion with the skirt i showing below the coat, this garment has also been lengthened. This means, that the women who follow the fashions are condemned to carry round 'many extra kilcs of heavy cloth or fur, yes they sub- mit, so thorough has been the campaign which forced them, in spite of themselves, to lengthen their skirts.

There are one or two kinds of frock which remain at all times an exception to whatever law is ruling; these are the * period" frock and the taffetas or talle frock affected oy girls of the "fluffy" typ. The "period" frock simply modernises the particular frock of the particular páríod chosen by the designer and may, therefore, be ither short or long, wide or narrow, a mara of frills or a mass of clinging draperies; the taffetas frock is a special favourite of Jeanne Lanvin, and is made with a long bodice that outlines the shape of the body; straight, elbow sleeves, or hope at all; and a full skirt with a scalloped hem; at the waist is a trail of flowers hanging, down from one side, or glas 'n find rosette or ribbon with streamers.
