to any great extent be. cause · until the Paris show it was undecided what women intended to do about colour for the next few months.
It just happens that the Paris colours are brighter than they have been for several seasons, and oven if there had been time to change this it probably would not have been done, and that for three reasons.
The first is the United States market, the second is the French market and the third is the fact that's show in monotone would be altogether too uninteresting.
The styles are there, and can be adapted for black, white, grey, or purplo colour schemes.
As far na evening clothes go, there are two distinct ideas: the romantic, which can be carried out in soft chif- fons, pleated and gored In pliable satins, in many sorts of flowered materials, satin, taffeta, brocado, crepe. And the tailored, which is stiffly, silckly, elegantly well groomed. Perhaps the romantic predomin- atcs,

The skirt is cut with, a pencil-like slimness, and the same points which are noticeable in day suita are also to be found, though to a somewhat exaggerated degree: the short jacket, the built-up shoulders, the waistcoat effect.
The waistcoat in this case is part of the dress. It is sleeveless, has a narrow opening down to the waist at the back, and comes up to two upstanding points under the chin.
The dress is black, the small felt jacket is red, It is the sort of smooth, shiny woollen material that
covers a billiard table. Length is about an inch from the ground, though some of thess midnight suits aro instep length, which is not so becoming,
The romantic dress shows the continued use of pleats, and an even newer idea: the use of a flower. printed material trimmed with artificial flowers to match the pattern.
In this case the colour of the background is deep cream, and the flowers, field flowers, are red, blue, yellow and green. They are exactly copied on the

Trains are almost non-existent. Most of the evening clothes are attractive without being startling, becoming without being staggering.

Not a single set leaves this factory, without having previously been examined in the most scrupulous manner; that is why Philips receivers fully deserve their mark of quality, the waves-and-stars symbol.
All the component parts of a Philips receiver -condensers, coils, transformers, resistances -in short, all those intricate elements on which so much depends, are manufactured by Philips in their own factories.
