ARIS is going to make sophisticates out of all women this year. The sweet young thing with the baby stare and the kitlenish ways, who got by with them beautifully last year, had better start right out and buy some shoulder-length earrings and a slinky dress so that she will look like a siren until she makes the psychological adjustment and learns the new technique in dress.

While Youth will never cease to be desirable, it is about to learn to be less obvious. For some time, owing to short skirts, it has been quite unde- sirable for a woman to be a woman. No matter what her years, or how many grandchildren she had, the had to look like a flapper. Youth was served so hard on all sides that nothing else counted.

Today the well-known pendulum has swung back. Women may be women again-they may have curves, though no one should abuse the priv ilege. They may-dad must-cover their knees, and wear clothes that have dignity, grace and line. They may wear hats that are not severe and uncompromising, but that flatter and save. In fact, the style in femininity at the moment is not girls, but women-which is going to be a great relief to a large group of the so-called weaker sex.

RIGHT here, before getting down to the matter of clothes; take warning that gloves have staged a come-back in Paris-this means long, elbow and shoulder-length gloves. With a pink evening frock, Paris approves of long pink glace gloves. With a white satin frock, the outdoor woman an obliterate the aunburned arm with long white gloves. And long black kid gloves are seen for afternoon and evening alike-particularly with a thin black net or chiffon gown are the black gloves appropriate.

After all, this going back to femininity is no half-way enterprise. You've got to go the whole way. There is no doubt but often you will remember the good old days when skirts were short and bobs were boyish

"

I. NO ONE is able to make quite such a glamourous affair of a flowered taffeta as Louiseboulanger. She can add poufs, bustles and panniers and other undesirable sounding ingredients, and finish up with something that any woman would give years of her life to wear.

The model here photographed is made of warp printed taffeta in shades of blue and green subtly blended and contrasted. The dress introduces

side poufs and a train with considerable conviction. The bodice is long and very simple, nothing being allowed to detract from its slender lines. Everywhere in Paris one sees lame used more than ever before, partic ularly in evening wraps, and for afternoon when it is often tailored, and handled as a much less ornate material usually is,

II. FOR formal occasions to wear with the velvet and satin gowns with long skirts, Marcelle Lely has created this black velvet turban, quite smooth in front. with an exaggerated bow at the back. The white selvage is utilized as a decoration. It is an unexpected touch like this, sounding so incongruous, that makes French creations such a delight!

One of the outstanding features of the fall and winter collections is the use of wool, not only for frock and coats, but for millinery. The tweed chapeau of this season is not severe, but is a marvelous manipulation of ex-> Iraordinary material.

III. TWO outstanding turbans are photographed today, both created

by Leon, the Paris hatter.

In the first turban, a long stocking of angora' wool jersey has been manip- ulated to leave one end free and form something of a decoration in the way.. of a piquant side effect. This is ideal for sports wear, and you may expect to find many versions of it this winier at St. Moritz, Quebec, Lake Placid and other spots where ice and winter sports are featured.

IV. THE second Lean model is likewise a turban made from a long strip of angora wool jersey. This strip can be fashioned into any mumber of individual turbans, so long as the line is kept close and neat. It can be developed in colors to match your frocks or coats, or it can be of a brilliant red or green to give an accent to a dill-toned ensemble.

V FOR morning, or for sport, or for travel, Louiecboulanger suggests this tweed coat which comes in a black and white mixture, which has

a different weave on the inside, of yellow and black. She adds a smart touch in the scarf, tied like a cravat, made of the lining. There is a clever cut at the waistline, defining the higher line, and incidentally providing a pocket that is a real joy.

Lpulseboulanger Uses Black and White Tored for This Sports Coat Whose Scarf Tier Like o Craval.
