- last six weeks .s interesting,
one feels trifie dazed and
has at first but vague mental picture
of graceful line and wonderful color
and rich materials. Here and there
model stands out clear cut in ones
memory because OF it's SURPRISING
beauty or surpassing richness or sur
passing freskishness; but it is difficult
to pick outIa detail here and another
there and gineralize from these notes,
to say thatia majority of the sleeves
are of such | fashion or majority Of
the coats ard cut on such lines.
There are no hard and fast rules
this season AID each artist maker has
followed out his own ideas. One can
be short WASTED and absolutely
| straight of lie or round WASTED and
with gracious If not too pronounced
curves. One can wear long sleeves
or short, high collar or low, plain
| skirt or founSed, and the wise woman
! is she who, instead of being dazed by
| viewing many models from the great
! Paris ateliers looks them over with
critical but apppctiative eyes and
picks out the details which will be
| practical and becoming for her own
| purposes and are not too complicated
| or subtle for duplication by her dress
| maker.
There is hardly frock from an ar
| fist hand that has not at least one dis
! tinctive note, and often that note,
though it may be audaciously original
and have much to do with the success
Of the model, Is not a thing difficult
to remember or to copy. Once con-
ceived it is free to all. 1t is in the
conceiving that the master mind as
| serts itself.
A model Of distirEt originality is in

dered with fur, opening widely in front
| and falling straight down each side.

Red and Black Examinations.
And, by the wayI one sees a good
deal OF black and rid, but the combi-
nation is not the htd and crude and
Mephistophelean thHg 1t sounds, for
the red is INTRODUCED lightly and dis
creetly and is usually in some rich
glowing tone such aa geranium or
ruby. One sees Hack semi-transpar
emf stuff such as marquisette, tulle
chiffon with richl! embroidered Dor
ders of ruby bead, and these stuffs
made up over white give stunning re
suits. Red embrolderies in chenille
touched with BLACK and metallic col
oring, are good, too, as relief fol
black.
One of the best imported models
seen in this red and black colorin
was built up in white satin yelled b.
tunic of black maquisette bordere,
: by O. deep black silk knotted firing
below a wide band of ruby bead EN-
broidery. A crossed 1ahu of the firing
trimmed the bodice and the only re-
on this bodice was in mere line o
the red beads finishing the decollet

OF black and silver and OF black an
gold there is no end. The black an

more subtle in Its appeal and less ger
