PARIS ADOPTS U. S. STYLES.
SAmerican Accent" in All FrencI
Clothes This Year,

ICorrespondence or Associated Press.1
London, July pa correspondent in
Paris calls attention to the preponder-
iating american note IL French fash
ions this year. He writes
There is an American accent about
all the new French clothes. It is diff
,cult to define. but 1t is there, and its
price is high. Some of the dress,rak-
lers when they went on strike carried
THE Stars and Stripes. and when asked
why as they were agitating mainly FOR
the English week end they shouls
carry the American flag, replied. oh,
1t is the prettiest!' The same logic is
applied to clothes. American women
have always dressed well, and do MOI
mind tine cost, sc It is to the Paris
dressmakers' advantage to make
clothes for them. "
Hats show strong American note.
The soft felt hat turned up on one sid.
IS worn with a touch Of cowboy swag-
ger. The light muslin dress Is also al.
american fashion. Shoes and trim
mings show similar inspiration. In
fact, to be dressed a lAmericane' il
very much the thing" a&e
