New Paris Wraps
Appeal to Women

Sketched this week Is one of the
loveliest evening cloaks 1t is possible
to imagine. 1t Is one which was re-
Gently designed by Paquln for the
peace-conferencc festivities. The ma
terinl of this regal wrap was deep
smoke-gray charmeuse with lining of
cleaning silver tissue and fringes COM
posed of long silver tassels on the
wide, cape sleeves.
The whole thing, writes Paris cor
respondent, was so exceedingly orig
inal and rich that one felt In the pres
ence OF fairy-queen-garment. And
yet the color was so subdued and sub
tie that the wrap might quite well be
worn going to restaurant dinner or
an ordinary theater. It was only when
1t was thrown open and the dazzling
lining revealed that its richness made
itself felt.
This is a leading note of many of the
new Paris models for evening wear.
There are still considerable difficulties
connected with getting about in the
evening. Quite unexpected people find
1t necessary to walk to their friends
houses or even to the theaters, instead
of driving, as formerly.
Taxicabs are few and hard to find.
There are, still stringent rules connect
ed with private automobiles. The
metros and omnibuses are crowded TO
overflOwing, hence the frequent neces-
sity Of walking in evening dress. For
this reason our best dressmakers are
creating evening wraps which can, as
indicated, be worn in the street at
night without attracting undue notice.
Satins and. velvets in soft neutral
tints are very much in demand, but
the Innings of these demure wraps are
something to dream about. have seen
gorgeous gold and silver tissues
worked over with brilliant silks and
beads and then converted into Innings
for theater coats.
Metallic Threads, GIistening Beads.
l have also seen exquisite effects
produced by the introduction OF me-
tallic threads and glistening beads on
fine Chantilly lace, the latter being
mounted over an undermining of bright
hued silk. The outline of the Paquin
wrap is very new and 1t represents
the latest notion of q famous dress
artist. AS you will see, the sleeves
are so wide that they give the impress
sion Of capes, while the collar Is ex-
aggeratedly large and vague in out
line.

In front there was an antique orna-
ment, In plaque form, suspended from
the cord, and at the back big tassel
weighted It down and made a splendid
flash of color. This idea was taken
from the scarlet cords and tassels
worn by choir boys In some churches
on ceremonious occasions.
The color of the cord and tassel
was the brightest and most vivid scar
let, the ornament In front being
Of an antique nature, with a slight
suggestion of "church" In It's compo-
sltion. On the head was one Of the
new cut jet bands which are placed
very low on the forehead, almost
touching the brows, and which COM
pletely circle the head and hair. The
best cut Jet Is used for these pretty
bands.
Draw Hair Right of Forehead.
1t becomes more and more the fash
ion to draw the hair right Off the fore
head and to arrange it very high on
the top of the head, the only soft curls
showing being those which thrust
themselves forward over the ears. This
style of headdress is very distin-
guished but rather trying IT, any one
who Is not possessed Of a small nose
and pretty profile. But all sorts Of
women, with all sorts Of profiles, are
adopting the fashion Of drawing the
hair away from the forehead, severely
And nowadays the hair Is only very
lightly waved, II waved at all. Side
by side with this fashion we have a
revival of "cropt" effects, the sort of
headdress that Mrs. Vernon Castle has
made so fashionable.
The hair is not really cut short, but
1t is skillfully tucked away at either
side to give a cropt outline. "Head-
ache bands" are again very popular
quite large bands Of soft silk or metal
lie tissue which are folded round the
head and tied at one side In a coquet-
tish bow.
Craze for Jet Earrings.
There Is a craze for ultralong Jet
earrings raging In Paris at this mo-
ment Thin. finely cut jet pear drops,
suspended from miniature chains Of
diamonds or seed pearls. These ear
rings are so long that they touch the
neck. They are exceedingly decora-
tive and with certain afternoon and
evening dresses they give splendid re-
suits.
I nm not in favor of long earrings
In the day time, In the street; never
theless they are the fashion, and 1t Is
n fashion which seems likely to de-
velop into an absolute rage. Cut jet
in various forms is popular just now.
At recent important first night"
saw well-Snown Partisan beauty
wearing a high dog collar made en-
tirefy of cut jet, and this with fragile
costume of palest rose chiffon. The
strong touch of black was rather
startling. but the ensemble was good,
the note OF Jet being repeated in q
square comb which held the high loops
of fair hair in place. Cut-jet plaques
attached to black silk cords are often
thrown over light-colored house
dress, long black silk tnssel hanging
low ut the back.
