QUICK CHANGES
IN PARIS MODES

At the beginning Of the season
Poiret launched models which were at
one and the same time long and full.
Women quickly realized that this out
line, though quaint and picturesque,
was not generally becoming; it called
for special type Of woman and 1t
rarely suited young girls.
Perhaps this was why so many Of
our best dressmakers-the real auto
Gratis Of the rue de la Paix-have de-.
cided to retain the beautiful straight
outlines Of last year while adding
width, actually, to the hem of the
skirt. The reason Is not easy to dis
cover, but the fact remains.
Paquin, Worth, Doucet, Doeuillet
and others are showing lovely models
which resemble those of yesterday,
but which have much more material
pressed into their composition.
| At the fashionable race meetings
| one sees the most wonderful hats and
toques. Quite amazing arrangements
of paradise plumes. uncurled ostrich
| feathers and aigrettes-the latter as
a rule artificial and cleverly made of
| fine horse hair.
There is just now craze for bushy
feathers, which make their vearer look
| like a savage chief In full war cos
| tune. These feathers-always un-
curled and struggling placed in
two or three rows round the brim of
the hat or toque and allowed to fall
over the eyes.
A curious fashion, but one which
has caught on to an alarming extent
Lewis is trying to make US accept very
wide-brimmed satin and straw hats
trimming; the genuine picture hat
which used to be so dear to the heart
of the artist "Drian.' These hats
will be immensely popular when the
seaside season is in full swing, but
for Paris they seem a trifle too re
markable
AS a matter of fact they are moi
really so remarkable as the small
toques covered with struggling al
grettes and feathers, which are now 81
generally worn, but the big picture
shapes are unexpected. 1t is quite .
long time since we have worn them.
Short Jackets Popular.
The growing popularity of shor
jackets is something that must b
taken into consideration. They ar
shown in all the best GressmakiH
studios and 1t is certain that they viii
become very popular.
Many of these little garments are o
Breton outline. Almost exactly lk
the little coats worn by Breton peas
ants-the men-on Sundays and holi
days. Very simple, rather wide at tn
hem, finished with long sleeves o
pagoda outline and open in front.
I have seen jackets of this orde
chez Paquin, Beer and Redfern; the,
are distinctly original, but / do no
consider them very becoming Never
theless they must be taken into seri
Gus consideration because they are GO
ing to be generally worn.

was very simple in outline, but un
usual. This was a genuine Breton
model and it is one which will b
very fashionable little later on il
linen and shantung for wearing witt
organdie muslin dresses, the iittl
coates being in bright colors AM
decked out with little fine braidinI
or embroidery on neck and sleeves.
Of course on the genuine Breton
. models there is no embroidery
a narrow binding or braid all roun'
the hem and up the fronts, but tn
short coats Of the immediate futur
will be ornate, and they will look ex
!. ceedingly chic and attractive whel
combined with flounced and ruche,
frocks made of white organdie muslin
or washing crepe.
