BY MARIAN HALE.

While there are grounds for suspicion that the long and volo- micous skirts, hour-glass figures and other extreme Paris fashions are casting their shadows before them, the silhouettes are in no danger of an immediate invasion.

One of the smartest of French suits is of navy blue Mousayne, the now wool fabric. The cost shows the now flare box effect This interesting feature is made by the use of pleats faring from the shoulders which give agTATO- ful awing to the cost. Bands of moleskin edge the bottom of the cost and the sleeves and form the high choker collar. The skirt- all reports to the contrary—on this brand new model is straight.

An enveloping wrap in every sense of the word is the gray novelty wool, with its deep band of slinx finishing the circular flare of the coat. Above the sliar

is a band of embroidery.

The coat longer in the back than in front, falls over a straig Lt. lined skirt.

The envelope idea is originally brought out in the sleeve, which is edged with slinx, The choker collar is of the same fur. Far seems to fly to these imported models.
