PARIS FASHION NOTES,

[FROM OUR SPITAL DURKYSPONDENT,

IBADIL HAMSEY.[

PARIS Feb. 20th.

Having decided to lengthen skirts, and succeeded in bringing about this drastic reform, Dame Fashion decided to have pity for the women she had condemned to trail about so much. extra heavy material, and so decided to alter the length of costa and make the short coat the most fashionable thing of her Winter seaso. Short coats, therefore, came into being, and, having pie and practical, they have remained to be source of delight to the Parisienne as well as to those who catch glimpses

I am inclined to think that the Americans had something to do with it. In such a con- mopolitan city as Paria, you can always tell ian English woman by her hat and you can tell an American by hen Eat-heeled, oet lately, an extra distinguish ing mark has been mided to the latter by means of the short, fur jacket in which she is always enveloped on chilly days. The practical side, no doubt appears fur to our

coats thas ended half-way between the waist and knee. The shape was nearly always the same as that of their ordinary great coats, and sometimes they left the line quite free. Parisian de- signers saw them, were struck with the practical side of their usefulness at the same time as they were struck with the possiblity of adapting them, and so they borrowed the iden from their visitors and parisianisex" it into the thousand and one models which have been much a source of satisfaction to their fair clients for the last few months

As well as far, designers adopted the idnin of making short costs from cloth and other matoriale; and as well as the simple, straight model of the Americans, they imagined one fantastic shape after another and launched } it in a material form.

Cross over ronts are most popular just now, both for these short jackets as well as, for tailor-mades. Another model which ia s'ill in vogue is the fussian jacket fastening down the side. Bolts, chiar are made

that reach ne-shaped one teats Sleeves do not vary and completely so much; they appear to be content to remain long and wide at the wrist, and to rely on trimming for their special note of distinction. This, by the way, may tako any form it chooses, from far down to braid or practically any other medium the designar cares to express himself in.

Linings are no longer the brilliant mass of colouring and design they were a short time ago; they are still affairs of vivid colour, but all trace of pattern and design has vanished froin their surface. Plain sa'ins are now more popular than anything else, and jade, coral and electric blue more favoured than any other shades Figured brocades and all other. figured materials have quite disappeared. from the world of linings

The beauty about these short coats is that they may be worn with any skirt and blouse, provided both those match the shade of either the coat, the lining or the trim ming chosen. For extra chilly days, frock may be worn underneath. The martest possible effect may be obtained by wearing a black or raven blue velvet.skirt with one of these short coats trimmed, i possible, with touches of lambs' wool or scal akin, to add a nots of richness to match that of the velvet The hat, too, of course, must always be in keeping, and match either the or the cost, but as black is still the order of the day for all millinery, the bat in invariably black
