PARIS September 2o.-A tour of the
ateliers at the present moment reveals
nothing radically new in designs for the
fall, slight naodi1ioa tions only being appa-
rent.
There is a hint abroad that the tailor
costume will be restored to favor later
on, and also of a possible return to the
basqued or banded coat
There is also a distinct tendency to
more individuality in tfe51tailored cos
tunes. requiring more elaborate treat
ment. This has been found necessary to
avoid similarity to the '.rea dy-made" tall
or suits.
For chateau and seaside wear there are
any number of pretty gowns. to be de-
scribed 6HE
One of the latest novelties of the Rue
de la Paix is a plain. gray tweed. with
silk applications in 'Cornet' style, Of
lighter silk, embroidered with darker
shade of silk. The vest is of silk and
lace. Bound basque English blouse waist
and bell sleeves complete a stylish effect.

early fall walking gown in heavy steel
gray pongee over taffeta of the same
color. The foundation skirt is in three
pieces and finished with q plating The

dered withta band Of turquoise satin. en-
broidered with gray silk. + Five inches

A pretty. new outdoor gown recently
secn in the Bois was IN biege colored
wolfe, a material now SO popular. "A Sc
ries OF horizontal tucks in three groups
around the skirt lent it quite an original
effect. The tucks We're surmounted by
crossing narrow insertion over the seams
with lace. A vest and yoke of very deep
tucks gave pretty effect to the waist.
