all Americans are regarded IN Paris as
Golfers from which to pluck unnun-
bered pieces of gold. But Americans
want the fashions too early to get the
tid-bits of the dish So it comes about
long after the last summer visitor has
taken herself away, that the delicate
and perfect styles which distinguish the
Parisienne the world over begin to ap-
pear.
A feature with the hats now seen is
the use made of the wells first exploited
ina Paris, by the way by American
women. But the French manipula-
lions of the lace and chiffon scarfs are
entirely new and entrancingly cOquet-
fish. Nevertheless, many of the trim
ming methods are exceedingly simple.
A number OF the chiffon scarfs are
punched underneath, trimming the
crown bands of the little perky hats
with a nassed fiufhness ending in float
ing tails The tail drop is a piece of
the whole thing, and to obtain it q long
veil may simply be divided in the mid
die and laid across the hat, the two
ends, which are pinned together at the
back. hanging in d limp drop far below
the waist. Extremists carry the fall of
these wells to any length, but the true
Parisienne knows where to stop. A
foolish and quite fetching veil droD is
made like a little curtain at the back of
the hat alone. Shaped Chantillv wells
are used for these. the lace gathered
and put on in a quaint, old-fashioned
for the mode, which is likely to con
tinue far into the winter if not all
through the winter months. With

This seems vast stride in a new
direction, for surely everybody has
been brought up to believe that only a

things in their perfection.

These curtains require no trimming

are generally draped on either side OF

very effective 1iving-room curtain
shows bobbinet of a deep ecru shade
appliqued with arabesQues in natural
cOlored linen outlined by a very fine
cotton braid. The braid used may be
green brown red, or dull blue, ac-
cording to the color of the room, and a
woman who is quick with her needle
can make these by buying the bobbi-
net by the yard and getting the linen
or batistes or even a natural colored
lawn, and appliquing it in patterns
which she can copy from convention
allied designs, such as feur-de-lis,
crescents, stars, arabesques or cornu-
