HAVE seen the first Paris dress shows. My chief impression is that no one is meant to turn the back.
Gone are deep waist decol- letages; gone, too, the jacket collar. Trains are superseded by sido fulness. Sometimes what appears at first to be an all round cape stops short at the shoulders!
All attention is concentrated on the front-
Neck-line-high.
Waist-line accentuated. Skirt-line-short (except in the

NIAGARA IN CHAINS
From Thirst
Brisbane, Feb. 20,
A journey in Australia of over` 2,000 miles by a married couple and their three daughters travol- ling on a motor-cycle and side- car nearly ended in the death of all the family from thirst.
They set out from Newcastle (Now South Wales) on a journey of 2,010 miles to Cloncurry (Queensland).
They were Mr. F. Davis, hla wife and daughters, one aged 10 and twins aged 11.
On the last stage of their jour-
ney to Cloncurry they had been told they would find plenty of water on the way, so they took only one waterbag.
Their water supply was quick- ly finished and no more could be found on the way.
They were forced
to
through fatigue. The father donf- ed himself the last of the water to ease the sufferings of his family.
But the heat tortured him. He became delirious.
Walking in Circlos

The party was then only 20 miles from its destination.
Davis wandered off in a hope- less stato to try to find water. Then his wife saw him walking in circles and undressing himself; next he collapsed..

Blouses are brilliant and waist wonderfully embroidered coals save when severely eut like a man's.:
Capes have had a setback. They
are worn by themselves as a wrap

Tunics mould the figure-high necked, unbelted, cufleas.

Cuffs, like collars, are in the minority-but when they do ap pear are unusual. They stand stiff like gauntlets, or carry rows of tiny buttons or strips of skin- ing material, making the wrists appear as though encircled by bracelets.
Belt vary in material, but are nearly always wide.
Bodices are pouched above and skirts shirred below the waist but only, in front!
The evening wear shown is surprisingly simple. Pinafore dresses appear-black or deep +coloured-over-shirt above full, diaphanous and sometimes shim- moring sleeves.
