For Women

HREE or four seasons ago pals
ley was revived and many were
u the fine old shawls restored
from the seclusion and darkness of
some old chest or attic to be cut up
into fashionable accessories. Quite
large sums were offered by some OF the
smart dressmakers who were making
tive of genuine paisley for the trimming
OF frocks in combination with fur in
scarfs and muffs for handbags and on
hats. But for the most part the makers
of women's apparel were content to
use the product of present day looms,
which had the same beauty of colors
and would satisfy most women quite
as much as the veritable old paisley.
Apparently we did not have enough
of this paisley vogue. At any rate, it
has come back, and some OF the smnrt-
est Of new hats are showing the use
of the paisley colors and weave. You
will remember that for some reason
when paisley was popular a few years
ago it never became popular to the
extent of commonplaceness, so there
is no feeling against it as there might
have been had 1t been run to the
ground at that time.
Have you noticed that two and
sometimes three different sorts OF fur
are used at the same time in the same
fur piece this year? Other years there
was something of this sort of thing.
For instance, a sealskin coat showed
collar of skunk or chinchilla. But
this year there Is the most unexpected
sort of combination of two furs that
you would never have thought of using
| together, and all within the small COM
pass Of small collar or scarf. 1t
might look, IL you didn't know, as IL
the furriers were trying to use up
small bits of fur that they had ON
hand, or as II some thrifty woman who
wore them had two partly worn out
pieces and had one good piece made
| from the better parts of both. But that
is not at all what has happened. It is
distinctly the fad to have these patch
work pieces OF fur, and the odder the
| combination the better fashion likes it.
| II you want to be quite exquisite
have a special fan to go with each eve
ming frock. 1t is an interesting con-
| ceit to have the fans made of the same
sort of thing that is used to trim the
frock. For instance, to wear with
frock that was trimmed with narrow
knifepleated ruffies Of georSette there
was fan that was made OF knife
pleated georgette mounted on ivory
sticks. With the frock that is trimmed
with ostrich plumage you should have
an ostrich fan to match. and II you
are wearing one of the interesting new
frocks that shows handpainted deco
rations you should have 3 fan that has
| the same sort Of painted design.
| For the little girls school mock the
| pongee guimpe recommends itset 70
| the careful mother, and these ponSee
guimpes that are offered at some OF
the high price speciality shops for chill
| dren may be made at home without
difficulty They are worn with frocks
Of navy blue serge or with corduro!
| rrocks and appear fresh longer than
the white cotton guimpe, but go
through the laundry quite as well.
Some of them are made in pongee COL
ored silk.
Fringed hats are a novelty. Some OF
them are covered with real fringe, OF
silk threads. and some with fur or
feather fronds made to look like fringe
Whatever the fringe may be, it is
wound around and around the toque-
like hat, or else forms single encir-
cling band, IL 1t is deep enough.
