 "Oh, browns, grays and blues-the same as usual"
 "Where is the waist line?''
 Tn tailored clothes 1t stays in the natural place. There is tendency toward empire gowns and the kimono sleeve is coming m, too."
 What is the most popular trimming?"
 Fur, but heavy and wide braid is used also. Goats are much shorter-merely hip length, with an Eton tendency. It will probably be full Eton next spring I ari told"
 How long is an Eton?'
 Tt does not reach the waist. It is more like a collar than a coat and hence it is impossible in winter, although a few ex- tremists are urging it for use even then"
 What are the prettiest garments that have been shown this year?"
 'It is hard to say. Personally l think the opera cloaks are the most beautiful They are not ample but are made of the richest tapestry cloths. Yes, made of ac- tual tapestry patterns with dull colors and much gold thread. They are trimmed with fur. and oh. yes, must not forget to say that they have long and wide lapels.
