PARIS FASHION NOTES. (FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. ISABEL HAMSAY.]

PARIS, October 25th... The backs of dresses are slowly but surely undergoing a change and showing a tendancy towards a greater amount of fulling, instead of remaining perfectly Bat as they have done for so long past. The lan shaped pleat is one of the most popular methods employed for introduc ing falling at this poit. Usually a single one appears right in the middle of the back, but often two more are added, one each side of the skirt, placed more to wards the back than the front. Godets and ordinary pleats are also being treat ed in the same manner. Another notice able feature in the new styles is the mounting waistline. This shows a waist line that hitches well up in front and gradually droops down to well below the normal waist line at the back. As this is a line which adopts itself better to the set of circular godets and founces than the straight waist, it is bound to increase in popularity as the season ad- rance seeing, that nearly all the flimsy summer frocks of printed chiffon and georgette boast either circular godets or Bounces in their make up." -
