ARE NOW UPON US

(By Margaret Mason.)
/ pray you do not have a fit
Dame Fashion will not stand

For anything that fits, my dear,
Will simply not be done this
New York, Oct. 1.-THE bi-an-
nual Fashion shows are now upon
us and languid, languishing
models are undulating a million
dollars worth Of furs and metallic
embroidery and brocades all over
the smartest shops.
All the worth while gowns are
there, they Doucet everyone will
wear. Our old friend Pioret has
a pair, Of stunning ones with Chi
nese air, and Lanvin, Callot,
Premet too and Paquin also show
a few.
Since the Chinese tendency is
SO pronounced in most all of the
imported models the settings for
the display Of the gowns is all
Chinked and lacquored and gild-
ed and Chinese CODED and rugged
up. The models glide around
among the carved ivory and
teakwood and Chinese porcelain
as much at home as if they had
never been outside the Great wall
Of China in their lives.
OF course a few Of the models
are allowed to sit on the Russian
steppes and look like Olga Of the
Volga in fur trimmed peasant
blouses smothered in fur and hec-
tic worsted embroidery, but in
fact the similarity between the
lines Of the loose Russian blouse
and the loose Chinese coat. the
brilliant embroideries and those
OF Russia, and the lavish use Of
fur on both make it rather puz-
fling unless you are a connoiseur
on Chinese and Russian art or at
least of Russian and Chinese tea
to tell one from the other.
After taking an oblique look
and getting a Chinese slant on
those different showings of i'm
ported models so rich in materials,
reputation and price, my advice to
