Made Costumes.
@@s ~ &e-s

Paris Saturday.
Some of the new models created by the
Paris dressmakers are represented in the
engrayings herewith. First of all, there are
the plain outdoor dress and the fancy tailor
made costume. CThere is scarcely anything
else in the way Of tailor-mades at the present
moment.)
In these costumes a complete revolution is
abont to take place An attempt will be
made to bring in short skirts, which VIII SO

1o+s and tailor-made costumes are the first
things thought about when renewing autumn

have already mentioned are long haired ana

drapery is continued beneath the brim rest

felt is often stitched on the edge of the brim
at the side. which is very becoming.
Large toques will also be much worn; they
will be bigger than before, and trimmed
with draperes of lace or guipure. They Will
continue to be fiat. in harmony with the low
STYLE of Embarrassing which will be more
adopted than ever. 1t should be noted that
the dressing Of the hair is the most difficult
thing for woman TO change. Fashions FOL
low each other in rapid succession, and they
are frequently conflicting. But in regard to
the hair changes in fashion, they are very
slow it is the touchstone of feminine beauty,
and women naturally fear that different
couture may destroy the charm of their
general aspect, and adopt less becoming
method of setting off the face.
The low couture had the reputation Of
making people look old, and that consid-
erably prejudiced them against it when it
first came out. But, hairdressers nowadays
are so skilful that they can combine the ext
gencies of fashion with those of beauty and
esthetics, and find means Of enabling
woman to satisfy the latter without preju-
dice to the former.
