PATOU'S COLOURS
Jean Patou's colours are pea green and rose pink. His simple tailored morning, cinema, and Bitle dinner dresses, with long. slim skirts and short Jackets, are worn with highly decorative blouses. For the evening there, are gured satins, organza, silk crêpes, and printed taffetas, cut to fall long and full behind, with a graceful

The Agured crêpes, bright and bold in design, offer a contrast to the quieter morning and afternoon dresses. Sleeves are short on afternoon dresses and long on little morning dresses and blouses which set out to be tallormade. To a colourless coat there is always the alternative of a bright jacket.
From the bowler hat by Schia- parelli to the crushed Homburg by Rose Valois, which should go with Creca's tallormades," from the wide, broken brims of Suzanne Telbot and the flowered toques of Lise Bourbon, the bird beaks of Erik, and the mortar-boards of Maria Guy, there are a hundred and one mere or less wearable little, toques and berets.
