PARIS FASHION NOTES.

[ruoM GËR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT," INABEL BAXIAT.] ·

Paus, July 9th. The Bal Opera, following on the Grand Prix, was an event of unparalleled splendour this year. This means that balls and evening parties will be of unparallele splendour throughout the year, because the Bal de l'Opera is not only the supreme event of the Paris season, but it alsó wets. the styles for the coming year.

The particular style introduced was Eighteenth Century Chinese, or rather Lonis XV Chinese, a style which partakes of the orientul gorgeouaness, of Chìm and therococco ilaiutiness of Eighteenth Century France. The colours which pre- dominated were Chinese lacquer red, Chinese blue, gold, black, and the whole gamut of ungenta purples and plum colours thatare so much a characteristic feature of Chinese embroideries.

Not only were these characteristically | Chinese coloura ful embroideries in eri- dence, but the wide Chinese sleeve, the tight bodien, and the wide panniers of the gowns worn in the days when Louis XV was king of Franco- perfect Inshion eutente cordiale between France and China. Any or all of these may I expected to appear in a modified form on dresses dur- ing the coming season, although they way. not be so exaggerates as they were at the But de l'Opera, where most of the costumes really gave one the impression of being more in keeping with a fancy dress ball than an essentially elegant, social function to which all smart Paris had bied them.

Judging by what I saw here, the flaring aluare which was with us a fow seasons ago may be expected to return; pleated side paualų, in skirts, which are certainly not a novelty, may be even more stressed as the scason advances; the cireular cutting- which has gone through a number of modi- feations, what with the godet pleats and the full circular costs and capes and such-like variations ---will doubtless be to- dified and converted into a slightly circular fortn that anggests Mandarin robes. Sile fastenings, also, were in evidence to such an extent that they are bound to be one of the features of dresses, and coats this season; if the oriental influence is to count for anything, this, of course, was to be expected, as no well-behaved Mandarin cat buttons up expect on the side.

The full dresses like those Jeanse Lantin, above all designers, has done so much to popularise in Paris during the last few years took an a decided Louis XV noto at this ball, they were present in all their glory of tight taffetas bodices ending in a point in fruut, billowing side paaniera and. skirt, slit in front to geveal a dainty under- pettivout. The possible variations of the billowing uste appear to be inexhaustible, To begin with, they were Spanish in type,, then they inclined to Venetian, then the romantic criuoline, effect came to the fore, then the influence of Nell Gwran and her period was felt; and Smally, the French Eighteenth Century is ruling, and modern dames of fashion are going about robed in a modernised version of the frocks with which the alluring Dubarry was went to deck herself.

To keep Fit

No more convincing evi- dence of the supreme restora- tive properties of Hall's Wine, can be offered than this doctors take it then- selves in order to keep fit. They know the marvellous worth of this great British Tonic for Health and Strength, the pre- scription of a well-known inedical man, they use it in their practice, aut study its effect daily in thousands of Convalescents, nerve-shattered patients, and those suffering from Coughs and Colls all. derive benefit from it its thousands of testimonials prove.

Everything points to the near doom of the straight, chemise frock, as designers Iseem to be fructically determined to bring in another style that will give them more scope for their imagination, and, as the style they have chosen calls for the use of infinitely more material and more trimming than the simple chemise frock, manufacturers, are naturally aiding and abetting them to the best of their ability. Whether those two forces combided will succeed in dominating_the_will' of women determined to go revelling in the comfort; and the grace of loose Greek type, of gowns remains
