FRENCH FASHION NOTES

Watteau pleats OF fine lace are also
much affected.
Bands. medallions and ornaments Of
metal. especially in the antique shades.
are lavishly used on afternoon and
evening lsstumes.
Paradise continues to be the foremost
feather garniture for millinery and coif-
fures.
Negligees appear in many charming
designs. Embroidered net draperies are
used over pastel linings-yellow over
pale lavender. pink over blue or gray.
Shadow lace Is another effective dra-
perry used.
The Innings Of the expensive fur coats
are wonderful in coloring and quality.
Metallic and velvet brocades. Pompa-
dour silks and broad-striped satins are
equally popular.
One of the most striking evening
wraps noticed recently is by Paul
Poiret. Black-and-white embossed vel
vet was the material used. A wide
velvet scarf was attached to the neck
at the center of the back. protecting
the shoulders when the coat was slipped
of.
Sash girdles fashioned Of black patent
leather have oval buckles at each end.
through which are run sashes OF black
satin with fringed ends. ELOISE.

maintained.

Night robes also follow the fashions
in the straight-line effect, clinging TO
the figure with wonderful grace.
Lace. more than embroidery, goes
into the trimming OF these garments,
many OF them showing insets Of fine
cldny and Irish lace, while insertions
and edges are used in effective designs
on yokee and sleeves.

tened the front. A wide. collar OF
Arabian point lace fell well. over the
shoulders. A jabot, Of soft cream lace
hung from the neck. About the waist
line was q broad girdle OF dame-red
taffeta. This was arranged In folds and
knotted In front. Two long ends hung
nearly to the knees. This is . decidedly

followers Of fashion. A pretty model
was fashioned Of cream plush and

gray silk. Another model OF taupe-
colored charmeuse had trimmings OF
kings blue.

]. bands OF fur with pleated frills Of lace
bordering the top and bottom. A rose
or bow usually adorns the side.

nj silk velvet. so velveteen was

1t is lovely and gives practically the
same effect as silk velvet when made

to fashion many smart frocks for
street wear.
Plain colors are more frequently used
for the velveteen models. They are
effectively trimmed with fur. metallic
laces. Persian or tapestry embroidery.
Velveteen does not adapt itself 30 sue
csssfully to draping as do the softer
velvets. so the skirts are usually plain

guimpes Of lace or chiffon.
