On the other hand, McGraw, with
Phil Douglas, a horse for work, ready

The Giants are confident that Douglas,

IN PARIS MODES /,
FOR MID-SEASON

Once the season has gained Its
stride, we expect to see the more COM
plete creations Of that era make their
appearance, observes a fashion writer.
The first gowns are now, perhaps, dar-
ing in some radical innovations, yet
still tentative, but the ones that fol-
low are certain of their art, consistent
In their expression, carrying with
them an air of being quite sure Of
themselves, no matter what sour criti-
cisms they may happen to meet on
their way.
Now from Paris are coming those
mid-season models that are perfection
In themselves. The designers have
sifted the best from this seasons
styles and Incorporated the Ideas in a
few exquisite examples presented as
mid-winter apparel. There are the
skirts, for instance-not long enough
to be alarming, and an extremely
graceful line, after all. They are
straight, still, and that news will be
relief to the American woman who
