There is a tornado wave OF leather
sweeping over us, and the question IL
whether we will be bowled over by ii
completely. Meanwhile let us enjoy
this kid conviction, especially that OF

the bizarre about IT is another jacket
of French gray cloth strapped with
gray suede, the skirt evolved from the
same materials. This dress symphony
concludes with a round shaped hat
with upturned brim of squash gray felt,
the orange note being struck by the tail
feather of a bird not familiar to the
average ornithologist.
While upon the subject of gray
gowns, a charming afternoon frock is

skirt plated about the waist and the
hem trimming carried out by a bouil

narrow quillings. The bodice has an
empiecement of point de venise which

meets long, tight cuff of the same
lace. A basqued effect and girdle are
of green velvet. The boat shaped cha
peau is of green beaver trimmed with
several pale gray feathers.

Nm
tai was thrown into a f1utter
of genuine excitement this
week when the cabs appeared
upon the boulevards and avenues
equipped with the new taxameter. This
little instrument. it is hoped. will put
an end to the uncomfortable disputes
which constantly arise between the
cabby and his fare. A dial indicates
the exact amount due the driver and
the distance travelled.
Thanks to this piece of mechanism,
the cabman accepts the equivalent for
the time indicated on the dial without
a word of protest, and. more wonder
full still. this jehu seems entirely sat
isfied. as the cab proprietors only de-
mand as per cent of the earnings, leav-
ing 20 for the cabman.
The Grand Prix Municipal is consid-
cred the signal for society's return to
town. and at present shooting parties
are the thing. A revolution has taken
place. and you must know that the
smart Parisienne is very keen on sports
nowadays, Still. elegant mondaines
leave the links and moors to pay hur-
ried visits to town to interview their
dressmakers; consequently the Rue de
la Paix is quite bright and attractive
these pleasant afternoons. After ALL
Paris is never wholly deserted; 1t is at
least the hating place for travellers
and the happy hunting ground of all
nations in the matter OF clothes.
At the ateliers one constantly hears a
patron insisting that Monsieur w. give

There is surely triumph in this appeal
Of the Frenchwoman from the sartorial

world over now know that the exclu-
siveness of a toilet lies In the perfec-
ton Of cut, which, unlike trimmings
and frillS. 1t is impossible to copy,
Therefore the Parisienne comes forth
this month very simply dressed. Every
Bne admires the stunning cut of her
coats and skirts. and the general pub
lie wonders how II is that there is
nothing to copy. The tactics of the
Parisienne are not difficult to appre-
eiate. She has few toilets at a time
but these are put up by an artist. for
she has no faith in the small dress
maker even for the less ambitious
frocks, blouses and negligees which she
prefers to trust to her maid. letting the
immortal twelve build her street and
ceremonious costumes. She also knows
As well as her couturier that the first
autumn novelties are always overtrim-
med and are worn by strangers within
and without the gates of Paris.
Apropos of novelties. many startling
innovations are on the horizon of the
sartorial world. Not the least of them
is a possibility of the return of the
crinoline. that cry of wolf which annu-
ally scares society. Certainly a SEM

inexperienced hand. The material for
such a waist is arranged over a tight
fitted lining and gathered upward
crossing the bodice in irregular folds.
This fullness runs up in some models to
an empiecement of lace or passemen-
terie, while on others the crossed gath
erings finish below the bust, giving
somewhat the effect of a high corselet.
Most of these cross gathered waists

been the means of making lots of wo-
men buckle to the task of physical
reform, and the latest departure in this
line is the skipping exercise to bring
about a trim and sylphlike figure.

queen of Partisan society, has given a
skipping luncheon where a rope skip

before the function of the hour began.
The ropes themselves were formed of
exquisite silken cords, and the handles
were very original in design and finish.
