NEW POINTS FROM PARIS.
Katharine De Forest writes from Paris
to Harpers Bazaar: All the new coats and
casaques that one sees now are almost
tight fitting. Even the blouses are made
after the fashion of corsages. They are
less vague are generally made in pleats.
either lengthwise or horizontal, mingled
with insertion or lace or embroidery, and
the sleeves are quite fiat, except for lit
tie bouffant on the shoulders or epau-
lettes. The shoulders. let me say in pas
sing. are cut as long as possible, and the
trimming has the air almost of falling off
from them.
Here are some Of the daintiest toilettes
that we have seen lately: A little din
ner dress of Parma violet crepe de Chine,
embroidered half way up with garlands
of violets caught by knots Of lilac ribbon
embroidered into the stuff The collar
was of Bruges lace slightly yellow. On
each side of the slight decollete was a
bunch of Parma violets. An old blue
china serge was embroidered with Parma
yioltes and trimmed with ribbons of vio-
let velvet shirred. The skirt was entirely
embroidered. One sees so many blues
just now, of which sapphire blue is per-
haps the fay orite.
In the little cut is shown jacket of
dark green cloth which is perfectly tight
fitting. 1t is closed at the bottom by an
tique buttons, and finished at the top by
embroidered revers and a very high col
lar. The skirt is pleated. The hat is in
green straw, trimmed with bouquets of
Parma violets framed in green leaves.
FASHIONS FOR LITTLE FOLKS.
The fashions for young children this
season make them look like miniature
copies of fashionbly dressed women.
Mothers find a great difficulty in max
ing them both childish and picturesque,
yet thoroughly up-to-date.
Costumes for the dancing class are a
very important part of a Juveniles ward
robe at this season. For a child Of 10
or u nothing is prettier than an accor-
dion pleated skirt of white chiffon, with
added garniture is desired, is very effec-
tive. A tiny square at the neck is usually
seen, and short elbow sleeves, as prefer
red.
a pages suit of white satin is a hand
some costume for a boys dancing suit
The diminutive gentleman should have
ivory satin knee brooches. turquoise blue
silk sash and shirt and Cromwell shoes,
with silver buckles, to he entirely comme
Il faut. Empire dresses in art shades
Of cashmere are among the most desir-
able styles for very young girls.
The stiT collar as a neck finish is very
trying to children and gives them an old
look. a little friH of white chiffon. held
in with rosettes of bebe ribbon. that fits
the throat without combining it is much
more youthful looking and becoming.
Overcoats for very small boys that are
heralded as being the latest have quite
a grandfatherly air. They are certainly
quaint with their full skirts with tails
too.
Girls in their teens wear the Russian
blouse q great deal. In fact. it is more
apt to be becoming 10 their slender fig
ures than % grown people. An exceed
inEly stylish example is a costume in
dark red cloth. with skirt seams topped
and stitched. and bodice slightly pouch
ed over red leather belt. The little
basque below is finished with red bind
ing. The collar is turned over with black
Persian lamb, and there are revers of
the same fur turned back from a vest OF
tucked red silk.
Leggins are worn this winter by lit
tie girls as we'll as their brothers. Black
velvet leggins are correct for juvenile
full dress for both sexes. The leather
kind are rattle thrown in the back
ground by those Of heavy. smooth faced
cloth TO match the costumes in color II
not in material. Straps or small steel.
Jet or bronze buttons are used for fast
ening, and sometimes a narrow edge OF !
fur is placed along the outer edge.
Aprons for little girls from to 10 70
years Of age are in high favor this win |
ter. Dame Fashion has said tina; even
for afternoon wear or when sent for 70 l
see visitors the childish and becoming /
fashion of wearing al apron is correct. |
