In Paris there is a marked prefer
ence for extremely simple toilettes. In
fact, writes prominent fashion CORE
spondent, the tailored costume OF al
most classic style is now tremendously
fashionable with its long, half-htted
jacket and slender skirt, the latter
either plain or plated. A costume or
this type Is more representative OF the
real Paris fashions than anything Iou-
ave, African, Czecho-Slovak or Egyp-
tian. The Parisienne, therefore, may
rightly claim that not all women IN
France are extravagant nor are all or
the Paris dressmakerS producing ex-
treme effects.
Fashions are>often misrepresenteo.
and through this misrepresentation
one might gather that the taste OF
the present-day woman is for clothes
that are snowy and extravagant,
rather than those that are beautiful
and simple. Many people, when view
ing the new fashions. are inclined to
talk Of the things which are ex-
treme and unusual, rather than those
that are simple and refined. which
latter the best-dressed women buy.

Quite as important as the travelling
coat is the travelling kimono or negli-
gee. In this we require comfort as well
as durability. The question arises as
to which material is best adapted to
these requirements. A silk material
does not wrinkle as quickly as cot
ton one, and as tan seems to be the
most practical shade for this purpose
pongee is the solution of our problem.
Both short and fuIl-length un1ined XII

Great Progress Made in Satin

There are dresses on which the TRIM
ming consists of inserted plated
bands surrounding the skirt in rows.
Many of the new printed silks are
worked up in this way.
Plaid still holds an important place
in the foreground of fashions. This is
surprising, because anything so strik-
ing usually passes very quickly in the
realm of dress. Combinations such as
these are being emphasized in the au-
tumn collection of clothes. A band of
the plain cloth at the bottom of the
coat shows an elaborate braided de-
sign. The bottom of the sleeves are
finished in the same way.
There is also strong tendency to
combine two colors in one suit. For
instance, suit of black or very dark
blue velOurs may have the bottom of
the coat banded in this way with
broadcloth or velours of a distinctly
different color. The contrast is soft
ened, however, by great deal of trim
ming on the plain band. This trim
ming may be of braid. embroidery or
hands of patent leather applied with
embroidery stitches.
