PARIS FASHION NOTES.
· [FROM OUR BPECIAL CORRESPONDENT, ISABEL HAMSAY.]
PARIS, Februay” 13th. One bis to come to a city of ideas liko Paris to realise to what a tremendous artens the women are individualistic in their dress. They all follow the fashion in a broad, general sense, but each one creates, or demands to be created for her, clothes which will express her own parti- calar personality and in which she will not feel just like a million or so other women in Paris. They will consent, oveA slavishly, to follow, along set-down lines of colour, fine and trimming", but, no more. Just now they are accepting with the best grace in the world to wear long dresses, but they insist on each dress of the many millions which must be worn daly in Paris being quite different from the rest. This thirst for individual ex- pression in clothes holds good in every detail of lingerie, footwear, hat, bag and even cont. One would think the last a most ditticult garment to manage, seeing its only raison d'être is that of pure utility, but Parisiennes succeed in turn- ng to advantage even this ungrateful article, and creating from heavy, duil- coloured material models of esthetic graCO and elegance.
Every year the line alters for coats, Bad allora in suca a way that it is rarely possible for one to make inat year's Du Tuo. Nu doubt this is done ou «purpose, Being the samate obliges one to wear a neavy coat at least six months out of the, twelve, nad critica, eyes would grow tired of always scting the same silhouette, A coupe 1 year ago every coat was arawn"t ghtly in to the waist by means of belt or ribbon; last year they were long and crossed over in front, fusiening on the seft side with a big fascy button: this year they are far more elegant and intricate. They all show a pain back and front, with fulling on the sides, thus general idea being elaborated in a thou band ways. The more elegant models have a deep yoke to which a plain skirt pari is attached. When this is the casey the fuiling at the sides may be simply eased on to the inner side of the yoke and hidden away beneath the lining, the edge of the yoke in this case being finished with rows of stitching or braid A more original idea is to gather the fathag into a row of organ-pipe pleats, these setting out from the coat and add- ing a quaint and pleasing note. Some times the fulling is taken and formed into two loops, which jut out two or three inches or so. If one is not afraid of appearing to be ultra-smart, ono single loop is formed this way and the top is trimmed with a band of lur or fab wool.
The yoke is aways cut on lines which mould very closely the figure, and the length is always to, or below, the waist. Sometimes a yoke will show a front part reaching to the waist and a back reach- ing several inches below it. The rounded off beetie-back effect, also, is popular The skirt, too, except for the fulling at the sides, is cus on skimpy lines and
and is just sufficient to outline and Cover the figure without encumbering it. Sleeves, of course, may follow any whim of the moment, but as a general rule they are long, reaching well below the wrist, and Are wide and open. The deep roll collar is more worn than any other type, some of these mensuring quito half. yard side; they are gathered slightly at the back. where they it on at the nape of the neck so as to give them sufficient play and enable their wearer to double them up in extra cold weather. Fur coats almost without exception, are made with can dep 'n roll-collar as possible, a collar which comes well out ored the neck an the shoulders and is bunched up- chilly days. Yokes, however, are yot seen so much on fur coats, the rest of the line beingestraight, with no sleeves all or else sits through which to pass the arms. When sleeves are added boy are wide, plain, and fit into the rest of the coat in a mysterious sort of way. sc that no armhole ja apparont and they seem to melt in with the general line.
For trimming, nothing is so popular as fur, especially short-haired fur, such as beaver, mole, squirrel, oppoeu and sealskin. An expensive coat will have a deep roll-collar, cuffs, and a deep band round the bottom of (for preference, just now) beaver. Skunk is nowhere to be seen, and monkey has at last outlived its extraordinary ran of popularity. Moles kin is often cut into strips and tabs and added in the form of a design on the skirt part of the coat, the collar and cuff, being composed of a whole strip of the fur, I saw a pretty, dark greydavetyn coat, recently, treated in this way;
stripa
of moleskin about two inches wide and five inches long were laid on in a Greek koy-design round the hem of the skirt, each strip being about an inch apart from the other; collar and cuffs of moleskin were added and the most becom- ing of coat was thus created.
Colours being worn this winter are mole, slate groy, champagne and golden brown. When a coat of fur is not beyond the puree of the would-be wearer, sealskin, beaver, astrakan or squirrel in obosen. Royalty and profiteers wrap themselves in tail-less ermine, sable or chinchilla.
