new white wool embroidery. coat. This is the style now most popular in Paris, for coats as we'll as our leading dressmakers are trying to make high. tight collars popular-for coats and dresses, but the Parfsiennes are holding away from this innovation. except in the matter of wrap coats.
 All the same we shall certainly see something like revival of high dress collars this spring. Whether this fashion will quickly become generally popular remains to be proved.
 I have lately noticed 8 great many ostrich feathers introduced on velvet and felt hats. Some of thSse are of the loose uncurled order, but others are really handsome specimens of the feather tribe. have also seen clus- ters of ostrich tips used as trimmings for high Russian toques. This is d re- yivaI of an old and very popular fash ion. - }g
 Black satin and soft felt hats will be "the correct thing all through the spring and summer. The most fash ionable mflliner in Paris recently told me that soft felt hats will be very much worn this coming summer in con- Junction with the most fragile dresses and rich summer furs.''
 This indicates that we are in for a picturesque summer season. and that is good news. Summer furs are cer- tain to be more worn than ever; such furs as ermine. moleskin. white fox and kolinsky-the latter in the form of square collars for coatees made of pale-hued satins.

Recently, writes a Paris fashion cor respondent, witnessed an amusing lit tie scene in which famous London beauty played the leading role. The background was one of the big depart ment stores on the Boulevard Hauss- mann, and the beauty was none other than Lady Diana Manners, daughter of the duchess of Rutland. I noticed considerable crowd of women and girls at the untrimmed hat department. This was nothing new, for nowadays every department of every big store in Paris is crowded. but it struck me that instead of searching for becom- ing hat shapes for themselves these eager girls and women were watching someone else making choice.
 made my way to the scene of ac- tion and there standing before a look ing glass, found a very tall, thin Eng fish girl with wonderful golden hair, starry blue eyes and blushrose cheeks She was actually making restaurant hat before the eyes of those amazed onlOokers.
 With absolute unconcern sne pulled on transparent brim made of black tulle and then added full crown of glittering gold tissue. Then she push- ed into place cluster of metallic flowers md Louis KY bow of black velvet gave the whole thing a final pull to make it it well down on her lovely hair and indicated to the speech less shop girl that she wished the hat rnade like that It was the prettiest sight you can imagine.
 A really beautiful girl displaying a wonderful 4cleverness in the arrange ment of fragile materials. above all, the essentially English disregard for the crowd of onlookers.
 All for Picturesque Dressing.
 Lady Diana was-as usual dressed picturesqnely. All the duchess of RusEahd's dnughters have inherited their mother $ genius where clothes are concerned, It will be remembered the when the duchess was Lady Gram by she led very exclusive. circle. in London. who called themselves 'gThe Souls. All the members of this circle wcht in for picturesque dressing and thu duchess of Rutland is still famous for her clever arrangements of gorr geous brecades. lengths of rich fur. ana priceless faces. ss
 The day saw Lady Diana she was wearing s simple one-piece frock, made of navy blue serge, which had nar- r0w belt of scarlet patent leather. Thrust into this belt were two long. wnite suede gloves and magnificent rFd rose.

 Cap Well Drawn on Head.
 Tn some mysterious way the peaked crown was invisibly supported, but the cap was so well drawn on the head that it did not need any hatpins. The duchess of Rutland was an anus ed spectator of the hat-making episode.
