NAV be considered as having an
influence on the general styles in high
grade lines in America. Therefore. It Is
well 10 give a short resume of what
the Partisan shops are showing now.
Charvet and Doucet. two of the smart

or Partisan styles and hence American
styles.
Neckwear
In neckwear they show principally As
cots. four-in-bands and wide-end string
ties in changeable silks. brocaded and
plain, warp prints. moires, nd taffetas:
also hand-knitted scarfs. The AsCS's
or puff shapes promise great popularity
and are made from fiat squares. The
four-in-hands are about 81 inches wide
and some extremely beautiful effects
are shown in broCsded treatments. One
exceptionally effective scheme which
will be very fashionable here this sea-

when tied four-in-hand fashion the

ends are Of the darker. 1t is shown in
many beautiful two-tone combinations
These ties are re-enforced by a piece OF
tape where the tie surrounds the collar
