PARIS DECREES BRIGHT

Bright red, bright green and bright blue are used as separate colours on black, brown, or dark blue, and they are mixed in figured scarves, ribbons, and other trimmings. The aim is to

The trouble comes when all sorts of fanciful accessories are added, such as too many brace- leta and bangles; veils, which in themselves are so decorative in", line that they call for a simple hat and neckline: a coiffure. which ts a work of art; and then those bows which may de- corate a bodice in front or on the shoulder, or, again, at the waist. The passion for bows has so taught the popular taste as to make them an obsession.

The materials used are felt, satin, and a most engaging-new fabric-presumably a straw of sorts with a hafry finish rather like mouton. This last is at its best in hats of the forage cap type, the swerving lines in which the material is made, fend them selves so well to that kind of thing.

Some of the satin hats (dull of surface, not shiny) look as if the material left over, after the hat been fitted to the head, had been carelessly gathered into a bow on top. This carelessness, of course, is more apparent than real

There are some good hat and scarf seta for golf or general country wear, too. The one I like best, was in a soft wool, with black, white, and green stripes, but it could be copied in other colourings,

The Soy about these hats is that, although they have a clean and definite shape when on the heat, you can squash them into a cont or car pocket without fear 1

With her tweed sult she can wear a contrasting blouse in vel veteen, or a jersey and cardigan; a good felt hat or a crocheted cap: brogue shoes for the coun- trys, "medium heeled calf, shoes for the town; and, if possible, a short suede coat which goes with the tweed.

The winter coat, which is to serve so many purposes, could be In grey, with grey astrakhan col- lar and cuffs, for a girl who can wear this colour really well. A rather bright navy, or a rich yet greyed brown would be better for the majority.

Severity is the note for this frock with possibly alternative effects at the neckline. Another woollen frock, this time in a gay colour, could be worn under the same coat, and also, if carefully chosen, with the tweed

The evening wrap la an Important item, and it is a sound; plan to have one evening: dreas which matches this incolour, and, the others, however far away in tone, equally capable of being worn beneath it."

If, for example, she began with a lovely deep blue velvet for her wrap and a matching, satin for the dress, her other frocks could range through pale hydrangea, soft rose, or spindleberry pink, ...and even some of the yellows.

The points which cannot be made too much of are the im portance of shoes, their fit and their quality, and the necessity for clean gloves, Young girls, too often forget that carelessness in these two detalls can destroy the whole erect of an otherwise per- fect ensemble.
