Amusing

Details

LOTHES in Paris are extremely simple at the moment. But not accessories. You go in for the most amusing and unusual you can find. When I was over there quite recently I asked some of my friends to show me their latest bits of nonsense for the bene- fit of my readers. They had the greatest fun, and a good deal of argument, trying to make up their minds which should be sketched, and which of them you could easily copy.

For pretty cars

Madame A., having extremely pretty cars, believes in bringing them out into the open, so to speak, and focusing atten- tion on them. She does it by the simple method of wearing a clip on the lobe, and an- ather, a slightly larger one, on the top of the ear. her To shrieks of low barbarous!" from 'friends, she points out that her ears are so very smull that she needs something to accentuate them.

For tailor-mades

Being one of those people who dis- like frills and hate fussiness, Madame B. sticks to tailored clothes and makes up for it by wearing the most amusing accessories she can find. Her latest notion is three little Negro heads which she pins on the right lapel of her jacket, their Jewelled eyes watching with a certain cynical composure the world as it passes.

By the way, she prefers to wear two pearl carrings on one car and nothing at all on the other.

Of-the-forehead ́vcits

Here's a notion in veils which should suit any one of you who has a pretty white forehead. Mademoiselle E., a young woman of some character, invented it for herself. She likes off-the-forehead hats, finds that veils add to her charm, but doesn't agree with the usual way of draping a veil. So she wears one which leaves a half-circle of her charming forehead unveiled, with an edge of trimming across her eyebrows.

She is careful to wear a veil with a pattern which comes in an awkward spot over her face. Says she doesn't want to look as though she is tattooed. But when she wears a vell reaching to well below her chin, she usually takes some trouble to find one with an original design round the edge.
