NA/ stroll through the great
" ateliers, with privileged
glimpse at the openings that
are held exclusively for the trade" or
out on the great thoroughfares where
Paris suns itself. laughs. is. gay-and
beautiful?
Never mind: let US view the passing
throng in the glory of this autumn day
and learn few things
There is the narrow skirt very much
in evidence. The use of three or four
broad tucks at the lower part Of tho
skirt, breaking UP the plain deep hem
effect. is. quite prominent. Medallions
of wooden embroidery or wooden beads
are placed on this type of edging. over
tapping the slightly pulled upper part Of
the skirt. These plastrons are placed
in front ahd- at tie back of the skirt
and help to break the monotony OF tho
straight line.
Beads! How they are used! Opaque
beads are worked on white wolfe or
marquisette. SO that, from our place, the
design looks as II embroidered with dull
silk or wool. And wolfe and marquisette
are certainly favorites for frocks and
for blouses.
There goes a Poiret model We know Il
by the oriental embroidery and the hint
of the Japanese that he loves to exploit.
It is indeed appropriate that that lovely
blue and gold creation should enter
LIE Pavilion Chinois'' at the entrance Of
the Bots.
How do you like thu new hats7 They
are Just as becoming as the mushroom
Of other days. The bell-shaped crowns
are quite high and the trimming ID at
the back. Wings are decidedly the trim
ming for the less ornamental type, ale
though plumes continue to nod a tn
umphant favor. The speckled ones are
the newest.
The return OF the empire line is an
established fact. Women like 1t. for
they are given a dignity and added
height. So the little "trotteurs' show
the slightly raised belt. the coats Of
tailored suits have suggestions OF high
lines by notifications Of the back
pieces, and the afternoon gowns have q
decided tendency. especially at the back.
But there goes a very new tailored
suit Of blue cheviot. The sailor collar
is one Of the new notes, In this case Of
black satin; the coat Is longer than
summer models, and the cutaway effect
at the front Is another, mark Of tho
fall
Striped suitings are the rage, while the
surface of most fabrics is rough, which
means that many Of the autumn suits
will be simple in cut and trimmed with
fat braid or durable silk.
There goes a smart riding habit along
the cavaliers path. It Is OF khaki,
trimmed with leather. ana q leather
vest matches the stiff sailor Of tan.
After all, this material has earned a
decided place in the favor Of the fair
equestrienne Of this city. It IL much
more chic than cloth and not half so
dusty.
Let us wander along and stop Just far
a few minutes at the "Catelan." There's
a lovely afternoon gown In pomegranate
wolfe with bib effect in front. covered
with silk embroidery and wooden beads.
\ black satin girdle Is passed through
slots and drawn up to a Japanese bow
at the back. Quite unusual, isn't It? A
double skirt falls to the ground. banded
in by rows Of square plaques. beaded,
of course.
On the whole. it has been profitable.
hasn't it? E1OISE.
