Madame Paquin. who is recognized
as the leading fashion authority of
Paris, has designed for the September
issue Of the Woman's Home Compan-
ion, a smart afternoon costume in the
coming autumn's fashion. The costume
is considered by the designer to be the
ideal gown for the conservative Ameri-
can woman who wants to be correctly
and stylishly dressed.
Among the new distinct features is
a change in the shape OF the skirt.
which is drawn in tight at the knees
and flares at the feet. This is the spec
ial skirt that PaQuin is advocating for
the fall. The bodice or coat part of the
costume suggests the fitted style which
belongs to the new silhouette Of the
autumn. There is a f1aring collar with
GUNS to correspond and short tunic
at the back, the special feature being
that it hangs loose from the shoulders.
The costume is navy blue with brown
plush trimmings and a waistcoat of
white velvet, hand painted in brown.
Blue and brown is to be a favored color
combination for the fall season.
The house of Paquin is the best
known Of the great French couturiers,
and the head Of the house is Madame
Paquin, whose husband died a number
of years ago.
In the same issue Of the "Compan-
ion." the statement is made that fash
ion has taken a sudden turn and
changed the size and shape of coiffures
higher and narrower and narrower.

feather trimming will be fashionable.
The hair will be dressed high on the
top of the head, and to increase the
height of the couture. 1t is built over
