[By Jean Patou.]

I have often wondered at the Iack of harmony between a man and a woman's dress. There have been times without number when I have felt utterly dismayed at the sight of a woman entering a fashionable restaurant in full evening dress, wrapped in costly furs, precious stones gleaming in the light and escorted by a man in a lounge sult! The contrast is invariably disagreeable, and in poor taste.

The modern expression of a man's dress is far from beautiful, but it does not become a woman to make this mora evident by wear- Aing clothes that will make it.

A well-dressed woman should possess at least three types of evening ensembles. With these she can meet any eventuality and be well dressed without being overdressed,

The Maid is a double 'repre- seulation, for this dashing horse- woman, so tall, and fair, is sup posed to be a young lady of stain- less reputation chosen by the city of Paris of 1,456 to re-enact the part of the dead heroine; and that young lady's part is played 10- night by Mdle.

Fents of Arms.

So remarkable a reconstruction of history has rarely been seen be- fore an so large a seale. The 3,880 actors and supers, all volun- teers, played their parts nobly. The whole spectacle, under the in- spiration of Mine, Weygand, wife of the General, and of Caulonel Warmaere, went with a vigour and smoothness that testified to the enthusiasm of all who partook in it..

Music of the time, arranged by Dut and Paul de Saunieres, in- „elutled' the celebrated "March of Robert Bruce," to the strains of which Jonn of Arc entered

Orleans, played by the Garde Re- publicaine.

Among the principal actors were the Comte de Mareuil, who was responsible for the artistic side of the performance the Duc de la Termoille, the Baron de Villelune the Comte Guy de Maupus. The jousting and feats of arms under the control of | Colonel Warmere were brilliantly. carried out by the officers of the Paris garrison and a School of St. Gyr.

FORGOT ABOUT THEM!

For the informal evening affair, Jean Patou created this taffeta ensemble that har- monizes with an escort's lounge suit. It is sufficiently dressy for a cabaret or for dinner in a smart, restaurant, yet it " would be out of place as an afternoon ensemble,

obviously must wear a dress in- dicating its "evening" character- she will probably dance during or after dinner and yet it has to be sober in line, cut, and fabric, In view of her escort's clothes. The ensemble I thought out for such an event is made of taffeta, black, and with it is worn a dreasy, aigrette trimmed hat but practical- ly no Jewels.

Night Club Influence.

Dinner and a theatre usually prompts a man to wear a dinner jacket, He knows that after the theatre it Ilkely that his party will visit a number of fashionable night clubs. Although entirely informal, these night places are frequently very smart. There will perhaps not be much dancing but a woman's dress is always noticed. Here, too, she must take care not to be overdressed for the occasion.

A

black georgette" ensemble seemed to me to be an answer to the problem of these semi-formal affairs. With thin ensemble an elaborate turban as well as a number of diamond bracelets can be worn, if a woman so desires.

Formality Easily Achieved

For formal functions, the prob- lem is easily solved. On auch occasions, all the old traditiona regarding clothes are revived and as a fitting accompaniment to a man in full evening dress, his woman companion is obliged to wear just as formal u gown. The lines of a man's evening coat are good; they are long,,, flowing, slenderizing.

Sports Jumpers.

Yellow and blue check, very finely marked, patterned a wool jumper which showed a draught- board design in the two colours st the base, and which was worn with a akirt made of alternating box pleata in the contrasting designs and showing plain blue beneath.

The formality of a inan's full evening dress demands that the woman he escorts should be dreased formally, too. Long, flowing lines and slim, fitted bodice and skirt harmonize with the long, flowing lines of a man's evening coat. Only thus can a man and a woman's clothes synchronize.
