PARIS FASHION NOTES. [FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT, ISABEL RAMSAY.]

Pazn, November. 13th. Designers are now making arening dresses of all types much longer. Some of them almost touch the ground, and a majority have long wispy trains. These look ever so charming on the mannequin as the glides round the show room, but it is not kely that this type of train will find favour to any extent, as most women discover that they are too impossible to mànagy in a crowded room.

A note, suggested no doubt by the head dress of the little geishas of Japan, is that of the single flower which is set over the ear. Plumbago, chrysanthemums or roses logd themselves better than other flowers to this form of decoration,

Apart from these new forms, nothing is so fhionable for wear in the hair as a bandeau. The variety and design of these seem to be unlimited. Those of Oriental design predominate as they allow of BO much fantasy and permit of the use of all that is rich and splendid in the "way of materials and ornaments. As well as the bandeau, the turban made of rich silver and Colour is the dominating note of the gold lame or a mixture of both is much worn. This either covers the whole shape Winter evening fashione-Brilliant col of the head or else twista round in a couple oured rolrets, dazzling brocades and lambs of stranda Feathers or jewelled ornaments and materials, which give you the Impres are either made to and straight up in tion of a golden sin, thot with flaming front or else to jut out from the side. For rays or of a silvery moon darting out blue restaurant wear, there is a compromise and green sparks. The design and detail between a hat and a bead-dress that is of such creations are the list note in sim-called a "bandean turhan." This consists plicity, these having been combined with the one idea of serving as a foil to the of a tulle crown and-a-twisted band of shot metal fabric that encircles the head; a long magnificence of the material. Also, they end of the tulle is allowed to hang down are disconcertingly scanty and reveal soon one side or to twist once or twice round much of the flesh of the wearer that even the throat in the manner of a scarf. the most broad-minded of onlookers is inclined to agree with certain writers who as a rule, everything that is sparkling and declare that the present postwar ago runs changing is in favour. Even combs are no the scandalous age of the Directoire a close longer quite fashionable for the arening unless they figure in gold or silver lace. second.

any are encrmona in size and are mirably suited to the high style of hair dressing. Worn with a dress that is light in texture and bright in colour, they are very effective.

Evening dresses of the draped, stately type rarely have sleeves a rule, they ar ent with V-shaped or boat-shaped délleté and the arms and tip of the faboulders remain completely exposed. Dristes that have been copied from creations which used to delight the heart of women it the Middle Ages have long sleeves that fit tightly round the arm above the elbow and foat out in unlimited length and width below it. Ecclesiastical designs and colours appear on many of these Moyen Age dresses, most of which are carried out in black or dyclamen loured velvet. In Le Chevalier de Colomb, the new piece which has caused such a sensation at the Comedie Francaise, Mme. Ventura wears a charming gown of this type, carried out in salmon pink velvet And trimmed with wide bands of squirrel fur.

As well as the draped gown there are many other typos which are being worn this Winter, which were not tolerated a season or two ago. Instead of having only the draped, straight model and the panniered "period" dress to choose from, women of every age and type will be able to find a model to suit them.

The draped gown, originally inspired by Greek ideals, still holds pride of place, despite the advent of new creations. “As

Bags for evening wear are extremely dainty and delicate affairs. They not only match the gown in that they are made of similar material, but they match it in the matter of design and trimming. Those which are made of Oriental fabrics are mounted on Wondrous clasps of ivory, tortoise-shell

and amber.

An exquisita idea which has just been launched in a material form is that of the bag which is made in the shape of a bunch of flowers, being fushioned of mother-of-pearl shell tinted the abade of whatever type of Hower has been chosen. Roses, buttercupe and anemones make up into bags of this kind, which are a sheer delight to look on If preferred, velvet can take the place of mother-of-pearl. Bags made of rose petals cat out of arimson velvet are very charming.

A beautiful though costly model that has just made its appearance is made in enamel in some vivid shade, the beauty of which is further enhanced by an inlay of gold. This is shaped like a small log, and is suspended from the arm by long silk corda finished off with silk tassels to match. The lid of this well as the draped evening gown, the exquisite bibelot opens with a spring, and druped dinner gown figures largely inside is a perfectly compact and complete most of the principal collections.These make up set, cigarette case and pure
