PARIS, Nov. The mode is more
and more fixed for jackets, except with
evening dress, where, as always, the
wrap needs to be loose. There are, it
is true, fashion papers that continue
to show capes bristling with godets.
Presumably the designers find it easier
to go on making what they have
learned how TO make. The fact re-
mains, nevertheless. that such cape
will hardly be found today in any first
class private dressmaking house in
Paris. They are considered out of
date.

NOTES ON BICYCLE DRESS.

While the eternal discussion goes on
between the merits of trousers and
petticoats, development seems to run
actively along both lines, and it seems
certain that bicycle dress is only at the
beginning of its evolution. In France
no attempt is made to conform since it
is considered that as yet there is no
standard.
