UP TO DATE FASHION CHAT.
Latest Notes From Paris.

A touch of black is a very i'm
portant feature on the latest
creations from Paris. American
women will use it to their profit,
as it is SO important in the "a
chievement of an artistic effect.
Buttons, pipings. braid and silk
floss can be used to give the dark
touch but velvet and satin by
the yard hold first place.
The black satin rose, nesting
among its brilliantly colored com
panions and the band of black
straw as facing gives the desir-
ed touch for the milliner's use.
Wells are so fine in mesh, that
they are scarcely noticeable.
Trimming a hat with artificial
flowers in season and wearing a
bouquet of the natural flowers is
a pretty fad.
This could we'll be called the
season of foulard. 1t is used for
parasol and hat covering 1t
serves as trimming in the form
of pipings, folds and bias bands
on plain materials and as lapels
and collar facings on silk, cloth
and linen coats. Its use as coat
lining is unique. The plain and
figured designs are combined ar
tistically in one costume and a
transparent covering of plain
chiffon or marquisette is another
prominent feature. There is an
art in the sewing of foulards.
The choicest or cheapest piece will
be ruined by too much machine
stitching A very loose tension
should be used. Even bathing
suits have trimmings of foulard.
