PARIS November ith.

One of the marked tendencies to be noted both in the customs of mart Paris and in the canturiar's salons is toward sports The horseback hour in the Bois de Boulogne, which fell into disuse during war and has never been completely revived, has become an automobile, hours when each lady drives her own torpedo; afternoon teas have been abandoned for golf T's tennis is tempting many a French mis into active life; and young mountain-climbing in January has became de niger with the smart set. The result is a large and decorative variety of sports-clothes for many purposes, and, strangely enough, the sports style threat- ena to invade or change the style of morning and street clothes. The very prevalence of the women who drive their own cars makes for a frequent appear ence of the wide, loose sata cloaks of bright plaid or some heavy woollen material. The sports clothes are actu

Sports it was that first brought into prominence the convenience of the jum per or middy blouse with separate skirt. The basic formula of these gar- ments is still being used, with variations con- only in the details. They may be sidered, in a sense, the keystone of smartness. The sheath dress ideally es- presses fashion's formula this year, but actually the jumper and skirt achieve the clinging line with even greater

Plaid being the favourite material of the year for sports wear brings out the greatest of simplicity in the details of the garment which it goes to make. The jumper formula is consequently frequent. An excellent sports suit presents a plaid skirt, side-pleated all the way around, a plain jumper (matching the ground tone of the plaid) with long sleeves which fasten about the wrists with cuffs (for all the world like a man's shirt), a couple of pockets at the lower edge of the jacket, a little collar (again like the mas culine shirt), and a front closing with buttons down to the high waistline level. There are masculine features to the gar ment, but the effect is feminine by its proportions, th

the shirt-sleeves and cuffs exaggerating the lenderness of termin ine wrists, the collar exaggerating the smoothness and slimness of the neck, and the jumper, failing smoothly to the hips, giving a smart, slender line.

Chanel, one of the most modern of the Parisar couturieres, is especially gifted in devising slight variations for the jumper and skirt formula. Some of her most successful costumes are of knitted fabrics. A delightful costume is made of one of the chiné tricots, mingling brown and white threads. The shirt is plain at but introduces a group of side-pleats the left side front thus achieving the

If the goan seems a little sombre, one wears a coloured handkerchief hanging out of pocket or knotted about the throat inside the dress collar. It is the use of such little accessories, individually chosen to fit the needs of each woman, that give the smart,

QUEEN'S DOLLS HOUSE.

A special room has been set apart in Windsor Castle for the reception of the Queen's Dolls House on its removal from Wembley, and has been reconstruc ted and decorated in keeping with the miniature palace. The house is being transferred to Windsor in accordance with the wishes of Queen Mary, in order t give a opportunity to those who did not see it at the Exhibition. When the apartment is open to the public an ad- ditional charge will probably be made to visitors to the State Apartments. -

Gayer, brighter colours are used for the sports suits intended for wear in the country or at the winter resorts. Kasha, a soft-textured material made from the hair of the kashmere goat, has offered the couturiers many happy inspirationa by reason of the softness and pleasantness of its surface, its suppleness, and the Bubtle nuances which it shows in the brighter tints. Raspberry red kasha bas had a great success this year, and goes to make many of the convenient little jumper costumes. A Homan striped kasha, banded with colours that are alter nataly bright and rich, furnishes a sug gestion for skirts with a front and back panel of vertical stripes and aides, which match the bright that of the jumper, which is of a plain kasha. Kasha large checks of turquoise blue and white goes to make a number of gay Costumes and is particularly appreciated for ln ings, where a coat will be white and the gay

checked lining will show either in the revers or where the coat falls open.

The line of the motor and sports coats is particularly start and practical this year. The crcalarly cut cost is most eminently practical for the woman who drives her own car, and the new cut Ens eliminated the baggy effect which is the worst characteristic of circular coats. This new cut consists of a narrow back. to which circular front-pieces are joined. This gives a smooth back, which is the most approved thing in the way of
