actual new maXimums were made.
The advance was almost uulnjrr-
rupted, the only halt being ocCls-
toned by the senate filIbustcr. De-
feat OF the general deficiency bill
caused moderate revcrsals among

later.

pected to cooperate In plans for

 There is noeattempt to put fullness on the hips of this gown and it is ot the type that an American woman would carry off with distinction.

Martial ct Armand show another kid gown which they insist Is for sports and especially for the Amer jeans. It is of pale pink trimmed with fur; there is long tunic and a short narrow skirt and a girdle. It locks as though it might be pale pink broad cloth. One has to handle it to find out that it is leather. The American woman wore brown leather skirts and coats last winter for genuine sports you remember, and she may not feel as though she would like to play golf in suit of pale pink kid and black fur, but it should prove an admirable fashion for the winter in Palm Beach Bernard on the Avenue de pOpera a,so features colored and white kid; he makes an admirable be1ted storm coat of pale brown kid with a high collar that protects the entire face except the eyes; it is lined with a heavy wooden CAOIAi, 10 bti7C COloISu dHQ ldSlSHSI with kid covered buttons.
 He also makes a storm coat of high ly polished black leather, which should be called "Gloucester," for it is highly reminiscent of the glistening coats worn by the fishermen who go to the banks from the New England coast. This coat has a short cape that be- comes tight hood, fastening in pleats over each temple.
 This idea of making . cape serve as q hood is carried out in another en- veloping motor coat of fur and duve- tyn. which is the kind of wrap one would think any suburbanite would grasr at for evening wear. He also makes an enveloping cape of perfor- ated white kid trimmed with sable.
 By the way, as this house stands for one of the best types of tailor suit and caters strongly to the American trade, it is well to know that his coats drop to the knees over skirts that are narrow and of moderate length; they have every kind of manipulation of drapery at the hips to give width, but this drapery is placed below the actual waist line for few inches and this modification makes the skirt practical The coats have fitness at the hips, but it is supple and not outstanding. The sides are longer than the front and back, as rule. an ir.egularity which exists in nearly all the new French coats. They also have Directoire coli

 The perforation done on ene kid Is exactly like that of paper sold for pam try shelves. Fhe foundation of the frock is of white chiffon with a hem of kid; there is a wide apron that hangs in points in the middle and each side of the perforated kid, half low kid and a sash of the plain kid edged with gold braid.

 Fluted ruffles have also appeared, not with suits, but with frocks. Blue serge gowns for young women have high-standing collars of pleated white linen which end in pointed ruffles down the front. These ruffles do not meet. they show about an inch of skin between. Often there is string era vat of black satin ribbon tied at base of collar.
