GOWNS OF CLASS.
Tailleur Flou, Tailieur CIassique,
Popular in Paris.
interesting to Study the Subtle Diff
ference Between the Lines,
Fashion Writer Says.

1t is interesting TO study the subtle
difference between the lines Of the
"Tailleur ClasSique" and the ''Tailleur
Flou;" otherwise the severely plain
tailored suit and that other outdoor
costume which is tailored, but still or
nate.
In Paris, notes a fashion writer, we
have the Tailleur Classique and the
Tailleur Flou. In fact it would be diff
cult to say which is the more popular.
The full length sketch shows a re
cent model by Paquin. The material
of this lovely suit was ruSt-red velours
de laine and the big fur collar was
kOlinSky. There was a curious plated
band of rust-red suede halfway down
the coat and the ceinture was made OF
the same leather with inserted n
ments of dark tortoise shell which re-
called exactly the tones of cloth and
fur.
The coat was lined with q beautiful
japanese brOcaded silk, brilliant drag
ons on a black ground. Here again
the skirt was rather short and tight.
On the whole, according TO a CORE
spOndent, the best Paris tailors and

dressmakers are remaining faithful to
skirts of this order; we hear a great
deal about wide skirts. but, except
for evening wear, one does not often
see them. OF course everything con-
nected with dress is comparative. 1t
is certain that the skirts of today are
really much wider at the hem than
those of last summer, but they are so
cleverly cut that they look narrow and
clinging.
The Tailleur Classique is one Of
Redfern's designs and il is very beauti-
full. The material used for the original
model was tan whipcord, with a dec
orative waistcOat in tan dOeskin en-
%broidered in dull blue silk and border
ed with mink. The skirt was short
and comparatively tight, not really
tight, but so cut that IL fell in round
the lower limbs.
The coat was Louis XIV in outline ;
knee length, fitted to the figure above
the hips and cut with a distinct flare
at the hem. The sleeves were of the
plain coat design, with turn back cuffs.
The buttons were covered with tan
doeskin TO match the waistcoat. And
the latter garment was quite delight
full.
It IA almost as long as the coat
itself, shaped to the figure and laced
down the back. 1t was finished with
a high, rounded collar bordered with
mink.
Redfern is showing some exquisite
embroideries In doeskin and glove kid.
Never were these leather trimmings
more fashionable; indeed. II is a case
Of leather and yet again leather all
along the line. All the rich tan shades
are popular, and also the darker tones
of gray. And for the severely plain
tailleur classlque black velours de
lalne Is much In demand.
