Lane, Urawford's.. Paris has turned costume history inside out for its fashion ideas this winter. Empire, Victorian or Grecian are just a few of the periods introduced into the lines of the new models seon at the ladies' salon of Lanc Crawford's. Thers ie for instance a gown of "blus georgette, whose skirt falls in Grecian-like folds with its pointed cross-bands outlined with tiny frills of self-material. Another frook in cream net wng accompanied by a short coat in eroam moire which was trimmed at the neck with summer ermine. An- other delightful model was in georgette also in cream; this was in a charming belero effeot, intro-. ducing the now silver and black bead trimming. The evening costs also show, a pleasing variety of line and colour, and many are, carried out in panne velvet, richly trimmed with fur.

The blouse to be worn overy day should be of n material which can be easily laundered. I noticed a lot of Viyella in quito à number of colours, both checked and striped. For a sports outfit the rougher tweets and heavy jerseys are suitable for this weather.. Then there are heavier materials which are suitable for over-coats. Az the hours of the day pass one may go from the sturdy and practical utility materiál through the whole range of weights and patterns. There is a material suitable to every personality and every occasion.
