HOSE who follow fashions trend
with interest and curiosity know
that styles do not change suddenly,
but after many tentative hints gained
from the latest Paris play, the last in
ternational event. or the within of some
beauty, for all this makes its impression
subconsciously on the designer of French
fashions. And it is safe to say that if
q new style is presented prettily, and
is becoming to the average feminine
figure, it will become popular and will
last, especially if it has the charm of
novelty.
Take, for instance, the revival of taf-
feta silk. How tired we were of it the
last time it was fashionable. and, unless
it was guaranteed, how badly it wore!
SO when it was heralded this spring the
first impulse was TO leave il out. of the
list of desirable summer materials for
gowns. But such hasty judgment is
likely to end as did a short monologue
overheard recently. ''Taffeta" exclaimed
a passerby in a smart New York shop

as she hurried through the silk depart
ment But, alas, a mass of simmer
ing changeable material caught her eye,
and, turning to look back, she was lost.
Retracing her steps, she stood before it.

the purchase of material for dress. For

along the edges. Note how the hair IS

The second, framing the face artistically,
is of black straw with single long Kings
blue sweeping feather.
The Paris model gowns and hats chosen
by the New York buyers on their semi
annual visits to that city are always most
interesting to those who chronicle the
passing fashions, for do not these clever
people have to keep their fingers on
the feminine shoppers pulse and their
thoughts on the selling possibilities of the
models that they import? 1t is -ery in
teresdng to note this season how little of
the bizarre in style has been brought over
here. There are any amount of new fash
ion touches, but not too extreme.
Take the fascinating taffeta pannier
dresses. with their lacy skirts. the draped
East Indian swathings of the evening
wraps, the new polonaise effects, remind
ers of those pictured by the painter Al
fred Stevens. The gathered waist line and
fuller skirt hem seems a surreptitious
wedge to introduce the crinoline Of the
days Of Empress Eugene. Then there

That the Empire waist line still remains
in vogue is seen by the evening gown here
shown, though the scant look is lost by
the slashed tunic heavily embroidered in
correct Empire design and the wider
satin skirt. Long cord and bald orna-
