EW fashons in London and Paris compared with our own clothes. seem to most of us as far apart as fiction from fact.

It is fun to read about dress shows, but it becomes hard work when you try to practise what fashion preaches, Angrave and I have been discussing this problem. We have decided that we are going to choose special winter wardrobes for various types of women from the new clothes. that we have already seen in Paris and from the dress shows that we are about to see now in London.

HERE are one or two facts about the new

Tsions that stick out miles.

The most important of these is the difference between the materials used for the new winter clothes and those used during the last eighteen mantha.

We have become accustomed to fancy weaves of every kind and description. We have been introduced to prints that were exquisite in design and colouring and others that were as funny as comic cuts,

This winter we will forget all that and go back to our old friends, fine smooth face cloth, rough and smooth woollen materials, heavy flat crepes, soft thick satins, and silks so stiff that they will stand up by themselves.

To my mind these conservative materials are the most outstanding feature of the Paris collections. They are, of course, the direct result of the political situation in France which has prevented the manu- facturers from producing new and exciting weaves and, incidentally, left the field open to the English manufacturer.

LOOK at the model Angrave has sketched for

you carefully, because it gives you a really practical idea of the new fashions,

Here is the ankle-length skirt and knee-length tunie which you are going to see so much of in the near future.

The tunic is made of creamy coloured satin embroidered with gold thread. All-over embroidery in fine braid or thick thread is used a good dent for jackets and tunics.

You will see the collar band on every type of blouse, day frock. and coat as well as on the tunics,

Sleeves with a certain amount of fullness at the top and narrow at the wrist are also going to be pópular, and so is the tightly-filling bodice part of the tunic.

The plainly tailored dress underneath is in deep chestnut brown satin. It is a good length for winter as it is not long enough to trail in the mud on a dirty night.

A model of this type is perfect for women who live in the country and those who live in small towns, and is also useful for informal dinners, bridge, and the cinema,

ANOTHER frock of this kind is a black velvet three-

The skirt is slim and straight with a six-inch slit

up the centre front, and the tunic is knee-length and cul in much

the same way as the one Angrave has sketched, except that the sleeves are sliort with only a slight fullness at the shoulders.

Tiny buttons fasten the bodice from the collar band to the waist, and there is a one-inch gold leather belt.

When the tunic is taken off the bodice underneath turns the dress into a formal evening gown.

White and silver pique is the material used for this bodice which has a high front line and a deep V at the back, and is made with a four-inch basque "and finished with a narrow black waistband.

TN Paris they are showing a certain number of

tail coats for women.

IN

One cinema frock has a coat cut exactly

like a man's tails, the revers being rather more exag-,

gerated and faced with taffeta.

The ankle-length skirt is plain, and a cravat

is worn at the neck.

The bachelor girl may fancy herself in this kind of get-up, but

the drawback is that she can never be quite certain whether people are smiling with or against her.
