COSTUME INSPIRATION FROM ARABS.
BY ANNE RITTENHoUsE.

Correspondence Of The Star.
PARIS, August 22-The enthusiasm
of the crowd that was so generously
armies who took part in the victory
parade was caught up by the designers
and reflected in certain kinds Of coats
and headdresses. 1t is wonder that
more was not done in this line when
the suggestion for indiidual treatment
OF drapery was so strong.
The Arabs themselves seemed utterly
unconscious Of their impression on the
public. In the parade they were the

ing loveliness in the densely packed
streets: its foundation is a wide band
Of gold or red cloth with flowing
white veil that drops backward over
the shoulders, made of any thin white
material. Often these Arabs wear two
and three costumes at once, proba bly,
to withstand the chill days Of this sum-
mer. The American women have worn
their winter clothes. including heavy
furs, so it was no wonder that these
men from hot climates simply emptied
their knapsacks and wore layer after
layer OF garments.
The inspiration that came from these
Arabs resulted in tight head bands,
rather broad and wide, that serve as
the foundation for street hats, and to
the bands are attached wells of crepe
de chine, of gauZe, or even subdued
metallic tissues. OF course, the dress
makers took up the burnous and
created it in serviceable garments that
would serve for the autumn, but Paris
has worn SO many of these loose
Arabian capes for six months that the
burnous is not a compelling novelty.
Paul Poiret Is the one dressmaker
that launches his seasonal output on
the basis of the Moroccan inspiration.
but he made up his mind to use the
costumes of this country for his au-
tumn openings long before the victory
parade took place. He adopts the

effect and the long tunic over the

Peter Finds He Is Mistaken.

Butcher the shrike was not the
only new conner In the Old Orchard.
There was another stranger. and it
did not take Peter Rabbit long to
discover that he was looked on with
some suspicion by all the other birds.
The first time Peter saw him he was
walking on the ground some dis
tance OF. Es didn't bop. but walked,
and at that distance looked all black.
The way he1carried himself and his
movements as he walked made Peter
thing of Creaker the Grackle. In
fact Peter mistook him for Creaker.
That was because he didn't really
look at him. If he had he would
have seen at once that the stranger
was smaller than Creaker.
Presently the stranger few up In
a tree. and at once Peter saw that
his tail was little more than half as
long as that of Creaker. At once 1t
came over Peter that this was
stranger to him. OF course his Curl
osity was aroused at once. Any

and she twitched her funny little
tail as only she can. whats thatT
she cried.
"Who is that now msmber Of the

Peter.
There isn't any now member Of

he must be a member of the Black

Jenny Wren. Tut. tut. tut, tut, tut,
