Paris March 3-This is the sason
when the ingenious French woman
brings all of her energies to bear on re-
modelling or rejuvenating her winter
gown. The between season period is
rather long in Paris. for there are sew
eral weeks Of weather too warm even
for spring wraps And yet there is too
much rain and slush to venture out in
ones best new spring gown.
So with the aid cf ribbons and chif-
fon and tulle the French woman goes
systematically to work to reJuvenate her
sombre winter gown, and with what
marvellous successl
The models Of Henry "a la Pensee'
are so varied and so5nunies4 that it il
hard to make a choice of these charm
ing little accessories. The Gressiest cein-
lures and collars and braces and epau-
lettes and boleros that may be slipped
on at a moments notice are all in evi-
dence
Neither pains nor the richest materials
are spared, and vet the prices that
those tiny accessories bring are exor-
bitant to the woman who fTequents the
remnant counter now in search of the
rich left-overs for rejuvenating her
winter gown.
FOR A BLACK DRESS.
One OF the pretty fronts I noticed at
this sPop was designed to he worn over
a black velvet gown There was a high
draped solar Of white satin mounted by
broad frill Of black mousseline de sole.
From the collar extended narrow "V'
of white satin, covered full with white
mousseline de. sole spangled IN black. On
each side of the V were broad revers Of
white satin arranged to give the effect
of jabots. These were outlined with
fun ruches of black. mousseline de sole
The point of the Y was attached to a
crush belt Of White satin that ended in a
short butterfly bow at the back.
A pretty cour-de-cou was made of two
shades of velvet The draped band was
of deep violet velvet with two small
mink heads tackled at each side. II was
mounted by a high frilI of the paler
shade of violet taffeta edged with
fringed ruches of the deeper shade. At
the back of the band there was short
full bow edged with the ruching, and at
the front the long, gracefully draped
bow reached nearly to the waist line.
A Simple green gown was made very
dressy with the addition of a pretty ar
were cut very narrow and were placed
overlapping each other. They were COW
cred with gold passemente~ie and were
outlined with narrow accordion-pleated
frills of white mousseline de sole.
The revers were caught up to the
right shoulder and were attached to the
high draped velvet collar. They were
carried over to the left side Of the cor
sage, where they were fastened to the
velvet ceinture with a long stiff bow.
AN ORIGINAL BOLERO.
A dainty little bolero, entirely original
in form, was exceedingly pretty, worn
: with a pale-grey cloth gown. 1t was
made of pale-grey satin, covered with
Persian embroidery in the most delicate
shades of pale yellow and burnt orange.
1t was cut square-necked and reached
to within four inches of the waistband.
A broad fold of burnt orange velvet out
lined the bolero and continued over the
shoulders to form shoulder straps. AS
a matter of course all Of the shades of
green are being employed Q great deal
in making these confections for the sea-
son.
Such dressy affair was made of vel
vet ribbon and mousseline de soie in an
uncompromising shade of emerald green.
A broad band of the velvet ribbon COM
menced at the left shoulder and was
carried over to the right side of the
corsage, where it was attached to the
ceinture of the same ribbon.
The right edge of this band was
trimmed with broad double frills of the
green mousseline de sole. accordion
plated. A narrow band of the deeper
green velvet outlined the frills At the
bust line there was a full, round bow
of the broad dark green velvet ribbon.
FOR A YOUNG GIRL.
young girl Of sixteen had her soft
tan cashmere gown trimmed with vel
vet ribbons in most attractive way,
that entirely changed the aspect Of her
last years toilet First she had a mod
erately high gored Medicis collar, made
OF white satin, with narrow white sat

in with cream lace and was fastened at
the front with a smart crayat bow of
violet velvet ribbon drawn through an
oval silver buckle. Braces OF the velvet
ribbon went over the shoulders and were
fastened to the velvet ceinture back and
front.
They were trimmed with four small
square buckles Of cut silver. On the
