Fashions From Three Centers
PARIS FASHIONS.
BY MADAME PARQUIN.

= fstH6rt" FAnGOfN
Paris, May 25.-Not many years ago
a corsage bouquet of flowers for out
door wear would have been considered
by the Frenchwoman in the height of
| bad taste. Ideas, however, have
changed appreciably, and the weather
cock of fashion now points an entirely
different way. At all social functions
the knot of flowers tucked into the folds
of the corsage is looked upon as being
essential as part of the toilette of to-
day as is the sunshade to match the
| costume; and while roses represent the
/ favorite bloom for this purpose, numer-
Gus other blossoms are selected by diff
ferent wearers, the particular flower
| becoming quite as much the property
of the woman who adopts it as is her
favOrite perfume. For smart occasions
a toilette which shows a gown of rose
colored mousseline de sole would be
accompanied by hat wreathed in
roses, while a tiny bunch of miniature
rosebuds would be tucked into the front
of the dress.
The alliance of melon-yellow and
white will be a very important feature
IN the realm of light dresses this sum-
mer. White gauze with a wide satin
stripe in pale amber or melon will be
almost more popular than the same
fabric striped with other colors, and
in the case of the plain tailor made of
ivory cloth long Directoire waistcoasts
of white brocade patterned with yellow
roses and finished with tiny amber but
tons will redeem the costume from a
hint of too rigid simplicity.
Quilts are being used in great pro-
fusion this season, both as hair orna-
ments and in the realm of millinery.
Naturally enough. as in the former
case, only the tiniest examples are
oh m n t1vu., -
quilts being caught with a rhinestone
buckle or with little coiled snake in
gold filagree. A decided diminution in
size Is also noticeable in the case of
the quilts which are used by the mil
liners, the favorite scheme of the mo-
ment in this connection consisting of
pale powder blue shading to mauve
and frosted over with silver dust.
Liberty satin is the material of which
most of the new opera cloaks are be-
ing made at present, the shape repre-
senting compromise between the XII
mono and the burnOus while the rich
est of embrOideries are the invariable |
accompaniment. The new meteor. |
which is very fine silk with a hort |
zontal thread almost suggesting pop
lin, is, however, coming greatly to the !
lore, and as II is very soft and supple /
and Grapes admirably it answers the !
work trimmings composed of gagged |
SILK are greatly in evidence as well as
insertions and encruSta tions of silver
lace while hlet lace, either in white or |
dyed the same color as the wrap. is as
much of a favorite as it is when allied |
10 summer dresses in washing ma
terlals. The sleeve which has assumed |
such an overweening importance now
adayS. is by no means reIegated to a |
secondary place where opera. wraps are
concerned. One of the prettiest and |
most effective schemes is represented /
by the wide full sleeve, arranged in a |
series of deep full horizontal pIeats un- |
der band of rich embroidery, which |
commences on the shoulder and con-
tinues to the cuff. Ki:nono sleeves |
have certainly not lost thair popularitv |
and it is undeniable that thew renre- |
sent the sleeve par excellence of the
opera wrap as they ubviate any fear
of crushing the sleeves of the gown /
underneath.
In Paris the flower of the moment is |
essentially the nasturtium. and in this
case at least its own characteristics
round leaf is chosen as an accompaDja
ment, the lovely shades of this prolific
piant-frOm pale lemon color to flame |
color and burnt orange-being all used |
in conjunction as wreaths to encircle
many of the new hats. In nearly every
instance some other flower is brought
INTO the scheme, sprig OF plumbago-
winch introduces quite new note of
color-being placed upright on one side
and balanced by bow of bright blue
taffetHs on the other
Shirley poppies in natural and fanci |
full shades are immensely to the fore
while the greatest floral novelty in the |
world is represented by the wreath of /
pure white flowers with frosted white
leaves
These wreaths are used to trim the
white crinoline hats for young girls. /

the prettiest and most effective L
schemes
The Paris hairdressers have been al i
most on a strike for months past. and II
things have about simmered into an in Il
crease of prices. OF course the coiffeurs II
Will come forth victorious, for woman's II
beauty in Paris is the first considera-l
ton, and as the crafty coiffeur appre- II
ciates this fact, he knows what he is II
doing For several years women have n
paid so cents-With fee-to have their
tresses brilliantined and waved. Now II
the price has gone up to so cents
without fee-which generally meant
or 10 cents more. The best shops now II
charge 81 for waving, and if the back
hair is to be twisted and curled and
dressed, the price goes I'D % cents
more This means an extravagant sum
for the Parisienne who goes to the
coiHeur several times a week. 1t costs
TO be beautiful everywhere and in no
city more than in Paris.
