RYING to generalize about winter fashions-trying to reduce them to a few do's and don'ts-is about as satisfactory as attempting to reduce individuals to types. Just as soon as you think you have the system; along comes the exception that upsels everything.

There are those who say all skirts are long and all waistlines high and that the straightline is completely. passe. Then along comes some French designer, and disregards all the handwriting on the wall, and con- tinues to create short skirts with even hems, and con trive a new waistline by means of a double girdle, and his collection has all the chic and novelty you can desire, without departing from the youthful silhouette.

It is well to remember this season, that every wo- man need not dress like her neighbor. The mature woman does not dress like the flapper-if she has. judgment. The stout woman does not need to com- plicate her life by wearing gowns that accent the place her waistline should be. And the short girl does not. need to lose her appeal by becoming lost in draperies or long skirts, and the tall girl does not need look like a lead pencil.'

FABRICS are as interesting as line. Nothing is

more delightful than the new wool materials, in soft. pale colorings, with streaked, striped or clouded effects, and these are seen to advantage in one piece frocks with short velvet cardigan jackets.

For afternoon, beside the regulation satins and vel- vel; there are printed and plaid velvets that are a de light to the eye and there are most amiably set off by jackets of plain wool.

The evening gown of this reason may be of satin. chiffon, lame, tulle, panne velvet, lace or a combina tion of velvet. and satin or velvet and tulle.

For sport and also for day wear, Paris likes the frock with two jackets one long and one short. Both may be worn at once if the weather permits.

T. IT would seem as if the pajama outfit has reached the height of its development, but each season sees new possibilities in this most fascinating of garments. The latest development seems to be in the cut and the hit, so that a slender line is achieved about the waist and hips--materials cannot be further glorified..

Particularly up to the minute is this model fram Chantal, which combines a white satin blouse, black- salin trousers, and a "dalmatique" coat, knee length,

of reversible printed satin. The scarf that is wound about the hips and tied with such casual grace is c black lame.

II. AN exception to the mode, all the more charming

because it apparently refuses to take the longer. skirt and more dignified line seriously, is this afternoon dress from Cecile Welly, which is designed for a slim, lovely girl, and should be avoided by every woman who is out of her teens. Here is an amazing combina- tion of navy blue satin and polka dotted silk in a much lighter shade.

There is positively no rhyme or reason to that cut of the blouse which makes one sleeve a plain blue satin ane. and the other a spotted one-but who would ask for logic when such a pleasing inconsistency is pre- senied? The collars and cuffs of white georgette erepe are fitted and outlined with blue scallops.

III IF there is a more romantic evening gown in all Paris than the model from Lucile, Paray, trimmed with enchanting ruffles bound with black satin and with exotic flowers of white velvet and satin, it has not shown itself. This frock is at once the despair and the envy of all women over 40.

IV. ONE of those silk ensembles that may be worn early and late and all year round, is this silk poplin model from Martial and Armand that comes in a rich shade of red. The cowl collar, with its in triente cutting, is lined with beige crepe. The detail on the pockets is very Parisienne.

V HOW elegant and yet how extremely simple is this afternoon coat from Lucien Lelong, with

its smart cape, tied demurely under the chin, and the masterly way in which the gray fox fur is just where it should be-not an inch too much or too little. It has femininity, dignity and allure-what more could the most exacting woman-or man-ask?

VI, TOLLMANN has created this unusually prac

tical and lovely suit of crepella, in a red that is about the hue of rust. Its pleated skirt gives ample width, and the long coat creates the long, clase line- that is so becoming to the averat figure. Diagonal rimming made by incrustations o. the material deco- rate the sweater blouse, which comes in a harmonizing shade of yellow.
