PARIS FASHIONS.
BY MADAME PARoUIN.


furs will frequently be arranged in
handsome scroll patterns, with the in
| terstices filed in with embroideries,
| carried out either in silks, silver
threads or paillettes. Everything that
is rich and costly in the way of orna-
ment Will be pressed into service, and
as a result we shall have some really
wonderful gowns sent out from the ate
Tiers OF Paquin, Worth, Redfern, Rouff,
etc.
The princess outline will be in high
favor, and rich velvets and satins will
be made upon this style. Immense
| quantities of materials will be used, as
| all the newest models show an extra
| ordinary width at the extreme hem.
while all fit like a glove over the hips.
|, The gowns of this season-afternoon
as well as evening present great diff
| ficulties to the amateur dresSmaker; it
/ is impossible for any one but an eY-
/ pert to cut and fit a princess gowH,
and the very fact that fashion de-
! mands that the hips shall be moulded
| by the material makes it almost i'm
| possible for the amateur to make a
real success.
| On the other hand, we shall have
many styles besides the princess; that
/ Will certainly be first favorite of per-
/ feet figures, but skirts arranged IN
| nine or eleven cores. with softly-folded
| bodices, will be very much worn for
| theatres and balls, and these need not
| strike terror into any ones heart, for
they are easily cut from a good pat
| tern and easily fitted. The waist line
/ is now worn almost as intended by ma
| ture: almost but not quite, for it is
still the custom of nearly ali the best
| dressmakers to raise the waistband
| slightly at the back, and to give to the
! figure an outline which family recalls
| the Empire fashions of d few months
ago.
For the long coats which promise to
| be much worn this winter the very
| latest addition is the ''Dick Turpin col
| lar" which is brought very high and
| Straight and fastened closely right
| down. Fur or braiding will trim the
outside, and just the slightest bit of
/ the cloth will turn over all round the
| top of the collar. These collars are ex-
| tremely effective, and they will be
| largely worn with the directoire and
! highwayman coats. Narrow edging of
/ braid eppear on many of the collars Of
| this seasons coats, and great variety
| is shown in some of the designs. The
| Greek key patterns is one of the most
/ popular, and the little button-and- loop
| trimming is well liked. The interlaced
| Vandykes or zigzags of two braids en-
! closed between two straight lines of
braid look extremely well on the col
/ lars and revers of the coates, while
| intermixed gold and silver braiding
| motifs in dull shades combined with
| black look well on fur coats.
The return to the long sleeve is gen.
eral, especially for tailor-mades, while
| the short sleeve. or, at least, the half
| length sleeve, that reaches just under
the elbow, still has it's adherents, prin-
cipally for afternoon dresses. skirts
| with different coats will be a good deal
worn; for instance, cloth skirt with
a velvet coat of the same color, or a
| skirt of fancy material. such as a black
| and white check, with a black velvet
coat, open to show a vest of pale silk
A combination such as this is both
elegant and pretty. Mile. Farna
/ brought it into prominence in NJ. Sa-
batier's piece, "Maman Robert re-
| Gently, at the Theatre Antoine. She
worn a chestnut-brOWn cloth skirt with
a velvet jacket. Another most effect
| i've dress which was seen at the re-
| opening at LOngchamp consisted of a
Scotch tartan skirt in shades of fawn,
with green checks. made in tight-fit-
ting style. The coat, cut tight and
short, like that worn by the High
ldillcIS- " DIS CltSlllul-DIOMH velvet,
edged with a silk braid of the same
shade. 1t reached just to the hips, and
it was open in front to show a closely
pleated linen jabOt, very fully trimmed
with Valenciennes. The same pleated
linen showed at the sleeves, which
were very long. For wear with after
noon dresses jackets are shown not
tightly fitted, with only rounded
basque. They are in a mixture of
cloth and velvet, or of velvet and fur,
in rather wide alternate bands. Bands
of guipure or of Irish lace are also
mingled with fur. and the result is
charming. One of these garments in
gray Irish lace and chinchilla, over a
velvet skirt in the same shade of gray,
was delightful combination seen this
week. The blouse worn with it was
pale gray mousseline de sole.
As to hats, there are some interest
ing changes to note. The big bell hats,
which some women wore too far back,
have been vulgarized so much That no
really elegant woman will wear one to
go walking in the street; they are
kept for house wear or for wear when
driving in a carriage. Small hats are
always worn in town except with aft
ernoOn dresses. Mile. Nifty Dalti of
the Coincide Franchise had a charm
round shape, fitting closely to the head.
The hat was velvet, with silk and vel
vet cherries in the same shade falling
in pompOnS. An enormous chou of
khaki velvet was crushed at one side.
A reproduction of this hat in green
was worn by Mile. DOlaire Small hats
are worn, too, with curied brims. re-
mindine us somewhat of the hats Worn
by positions in old times. When they
are well worn they are charming.
Another novelty is the Spanish crepe
erai very elegant women are wearing.
These shSwls are brought direct from
the place where they are made, and it
is expected that there will be rage
for them this winter. Women who like
to be specially up to date will eagerly
secure these shawls in black, white N
pale mauve. with fringes of the same
color.
An elegant costume noted today was
i'm peach-colored cloth, with a graceful
tunic EN- broidered in the same color
The same embroidery trimmed the
bodice, which has a white tulle guimpe
and a lace collar. A black crepe de
chine scarf with fringes, was worn
with it. and the hat was bell shaped,
black velvet with black paradise
plumes. Another was charming
princess dress of dark green velvet,
with the side panel laced over a lace
petticoat. The sleeves, too, were cut
open and laced over lace. A specially
