Haze Prettiest Ankles

"American women have the pretti-
est ankles and feet in the world" the
buyer replied, "and they also are the
best shod, but they realize that the
extremely short skirts are ridculed,
and they believe in moderation.
Although the Anne ricans designed
their own styles to a great extent dur
ing the wear, they apparently are find
ing much that is worth while in the
Paris display rooms, although viewing
things from a newly independent point
of view. Passport difficulties it was said,
kept the number OF American buyers
from being much larger The buyers
have been busy all this week viewing
the new models, and they will continue
to attend displays next week, when
some of the most important firms will
show their winter styles.
Although brown seems to be the
prevailing color, the buyers say, and
is shown in scores of various shades

First Fas hion Display
Since Var attracts Ex-
perts From, america

PARIS, Aug. 1e.-Paris's' first real
display of styles since the war began
is being attended by about three hun
dred American buyers, who, however,
are showing themselves to be more in
dependent of the dictates of French
dressmakers than ever before.
Brown, according to the new models,
is again in marked favor. Soft ma
terials are used generally, and founces,
panniers and the design of the new
models tend towards the strictly fem
inine appearance. There is not the
slightest suggestion of the masculine,
tailor-made effects of the past.
Paris is clinging to skirts hanging
seven to eight inches from the ground.
American buyers, the dressmakers say
are criticising the shortness of the
gowns, although admitting that Ameri-
can skirts have been too long. 1t is
likely American women will be offered
compromised lengths. One Of the
prominent American buyers said to-day
that "no well-formed woman looks we'll
in a really long skirt and it cannot be
graceful" but he laughed at dress
makers suggestion that Americans
want long skirts because American wo-
men do not have pretty ankles.

Tight Fitting Suit
VIII Be il, Demand

The styles generally show a slight
fulness on the hips in the form of soft
panniers, with pleats and accordion
pleats. Flounces are applied in such
way as to preserve the outline of the
figure and the straight hem of the skirt.
| Collars are high in many cases, and if
cut open are adjusted so they may be
buttoned close to the throat.
Wool embroideries, uat paillettes and
metallic ribbons of a leather-like tex
ture form the trimmings for afternoon
frocks, the majority of which are made
with coats to match. These coats are
trimmed with such furs as mouff1or,
mole, monkey, kolinsky, muskrat and
skunk.
All materials are soft, and where
founces are introduced they are set
on Innings of chiffon to insure supple
lines. Velveteen, soft serge, velour de
laine, chiffon and plush are used with
great effectiveness in gowns and cos
tunes.
Coats with afternoon costumes come
just below the hips and follow Dick
Turpin lines by means of a girdle or
gauging. Skirts are narrower at the
feet, giving a peg-top suggestion. Fur
collars reach to the eyes.

BackIess Dinner Co,cn
Is Decree From, Paris

American buyers say they are hav-
ing almost battle with Partisan dress
makers over the backless evening
gowns being offered, which the Amer
leans are insisting on having filled in
with lace, to the amazement of the
French designers, who protest that wo
men should be allowed to display their
we'll formed backs.
Soft net, tule and lace are used ex
tensively over charmeuse and chiffon
for evening gowns, and trimmings of
gold threads, paillettes, jet, silver It's
sue, chenille and plush are much used.
The plush in these trimmings is
worked up to represent soft fur. Black
and gold, raven blue and mole CHINA.
mon are the prevailing tones for even
ing gowns, but delicate pompadour
blues and pinks, with silk panniers, are
shown often for young girls. Many
gowns of gold tissue are displayed.
Hats for fall and winter are both
large and small, but in all cases will
frame the face. Velvet is the most
popular fabric for hats, and trimming
will be of ostrich feathers, ospreys and
monkey fur.
