embroidery in the model just described,
Juliette Courtisien varies the garni-
ture by embroidering an amusing de-
sign OF little japanese maidens in
kimono and parasol set against a back
ground of small fieecy clouds. For
Norma Della, one OF the best known
Paris actresses, this dress has been
built Of navy silk Jersey with the
Japanese motifs done in white wool
Another original model is a one
piece blue serge coat dress that is
plain In the back. while the front is
cut to initiate a short jacket whose
ievers can either be buttoned up to
the chin or thrown back to show q
little cerise jersey gilet. The pseudo
Jacket and its two slit pockets are
bound with black silk braid, while the
tall collar and cuffs are Of cerise silk
jersey.
A full length blue serge coat, cut
in the classic English lines, is worn
over a one piece serge dress that has
long black satin tunic embroidered
in furnished gold. The waist line is
marked by three rows OF corded
stirring finished with a silk cord and
tassel
Black for Dinner Frocks.
For dinner frocks black is much
used, sleeves are very short and the
Vatican pleat Is favored. In a black
mousseline de sole gown embodying
these details the corsage consists of
a broad draped cerise velvet girdle
that narrows at the back and holds
down the Vatican pleat with a large
bow.
Juliette Courtisien specializes in
coats, and two of her fall models are
excellent. One Is maroon satin cape
lined with Natter blue crepe de chine
ana topped by an enormous brown fur
pelerine that falls 20 the waist, but
when worn closed. drapes In soft folds
and comes we'll UP around the ears.
On the inside edge of the cape Is a
band of fur that half way down has
two loops through which the arms
can be slipped.
top coat Of heavy black silk jer-
sey lined with brick red crepe de
CLINE has two deep bands of rough
Milanese embroidery at the hem. The
large fur collar looks equally well open
or closed.
Deddy, another house that has a
reputation for its unique ideas, is
roted for the charmingly individual
touches that make each OF its frocks
distinctive creation. Deddy is show
ing an attractive ree-quarter length
tailored suit of dark red duvetyn
through which run blurred lines OF
black. The only trimmings used are

Many OF the big Paris couturters
made an experiment the other day.
They sent all their best models to
Zurich, where q three days fashion
show was held in the Casino. to show
70 the many neutrals sojoirning in
that city that France still holds the
prize for attractive, styles. The idea
was huge success. This Is what the
representative Of Doeuillet had to say
or the Swiss fashion offensive -.
French Fashions sim Lead.
THE exhibition was a great success
In every sense of the word The models
were all very smart and Partisan.
They were shown to good advantage
and all the dressmakers did excellent
business
when we took our models to
| Switzerland 1t was merely for propa-
ganda, and we did not expect that we
could so much as pay our expenses
but we made really remarkable sales
and the success of the show far ex-
ceeded our expectations In every re-
spect. And what surprised us very
much In Zurich was that everything
seemed to be French.
THE city was deliberately decorated
in the tricolors; we were magnificently
entertained and people from all parts
OF Switzerland swarmed to the expo
sition and seemed delighted to be able
to buy French dresses. We were un-
der the impression that German
show had been held there before ours,
but had proved a failure.
German fashion shows had been
held early In August In Germany, and
1t was also said that an exhibition had
been held in Vienna, but we heard
nothing about that, and II was evil
dent that the smart women Of Swltlcr-
land who visited our show we're not
interested In German creations and
wanted only the French models. We
returned TO Paris absolutely delighted
with the trip"

L ion symphony there should b.
added a coda
Just as Worth IL considered the
apostle of the classic evening gown, so
Bernard ranks as the exponent Of what
is best in tailored frocks. This year
his skirts are perceptibly longer and
wider than those launched by the other
big faiseurs. They hang we'll below
the boot top, measure a yard and
three quarters at the hem and have
not the fiippant cut OF some of the
newest frocks.
Duvetyn, reversible satin, velours de
iaine. the new long haired poll de
chameau and gabardine; with here and
there a mixed homespun. are the ia
vorite materials OF this house. Fur 10
used on everything; for first choice
monkey skin, which pelt when COM
bined with black satin accentuates the
much sought after length Of line.
Skirts and dresses made entirely. of
fur are another novelty. Paquin Is
showing a charming petit girls model,
described In an earlier article. Ber-
nard's creation Is a satiny caracul coat
dress cut on severe straight lines. but
foning at the left and trimmed with
collar, cuffs and wide revers OF white
angora, whose Joining to the black fur
is indicated by narrow gold cord.
Bernard's Jackets come either Just
below the hips or are OF the seven
eighths length variety, and nearly all
Of them have wide fur revers extend
ing to the bottom of the coat. which
make an attractive trimming when the
garment is worn open.
A good model Of tan poll de chameau
has a hip length jacket, with dag
onally set on pockets and tall collar
and cuffs of Hudson seal. The severely
plain skirt Is slightly fulled at the
waist and has two inverted box pieats
at the back. ..t
Fur Trimmings Used.
In another. OF hunters green gabar-
dine. the hem Of the coat and skirt Is
finished with fringe Of the gabardine
cut into half inch strips. The entire
front and the deep patch pockets OF a
gray duvetyn suit are made OF petit
girls fur, as is the high collar, which Is
continued In a throw tie Of gray du-
vetyn. The skirt, narrower at the hem
than at the knees. has a four inch belt
closed with three gray bone buttons
on either side. g
/, On beige walking costume a deep
band Of moleskln edges the skirt. The
long coat has a high crush collar and
cuffs of the same fur.
Blue serge never seems to lose its
popularity and Bernard invariably
combines 1t with black silk braid. The
side breadths In one Of his one piece
blue serge redingote dresses are
trimmed with graduated bands Of this

The walstcoat or gilet Is popular
still. One Of the newest models has
sleeves long and tight, SO that the coat
can be removed when 1t IL worn. As
most OF the waAstcoats have been
skeleton affairs with only a front, a
belt and a collar. this model is certain
TO be popular.
