Will Not Allow Dressmakers
to Bring Back More
Profitable COlors

PARIS. Nov. 26-Black remains su-
preme in the fashion world of Paris. Des-
pite a severe onslaught by advocates of
color. the supreme council of style has
been forced to retain the conventional
black as the dominant motif of all fall
, and winter modes and there is. every in
dication that colors, except in minor
trimming effects, will not be able to chal-
lenge black until late spring.
Adopted at a time when economy was
the guiding idea of all feminine pur-
chases, black has come to be regarded as
the most becoming color. French women
say it is alone in lending itself to strik-
ing effects.
Dressmakers quietly gathered together
before fall and winter models were given
to the world and tacitly agreed that col
ors should have a chance. The adoption
of black was hurting them financially.
One black gown, carefully selected took
the place of two or three dresses of differ

demand this fall was for black and the

are the most popular materials.

The increase in the number of

The nerves and the blood arc so
intimately, so vitaNy, connected that
the condition ofoneis bound to affect
the condition of the other. If the

impossible to have strong, steady

French Women Cling to
Black for Dress Material

seted look" This propaganda has sue
ceeded in some instances but most
French women, having fought and won
their freedom, are lOath, in the language
of a famous French actress, to Jail their
bodies again" ..r..
There are four definite features of the
fall and winter modes y very long
waist line, longer circular skirts with
full sides. eccentric sleeves of gay colors,
and the famous Bateau neck line.
Brick red has been used extensively as
trimming and some green steel orna-
ments for hats, purses, dresses and even
shoes are the newest thing in novelties.
Door knobs and nail head effects are
used in making girdles.
Shoes Quite American.
In the case of shoes the usual order
of things has been reversed and the smart
est shoes in Paris are "knickcrbocker'
shoes. with large steel buckles.
These shoes look more like American
shoes than anything ever before worn by
French women, although the French last
is retained. The short stubby toe has
disappeared in stylish French footwear
Black again dominates in hats, felt
being the best liked material Crowns
are much higher and the fall hats are so
big that they interfere with dancing
Smaller hats will be worn with fur
coats later in the season.
Circular ear rings, usually circle of
jet or ebony within a large circle. are
worn by the best dressed women this
fall. Novelty shops cannot make them
fast enough. Some women wear very
large ones, almost canibalistic in effect
Gay color has its only opportunity in
evening gowns for young girls These are
made in the brightest of coIorS, but the
evening dresses worn by their mothers
and older relatives are black The EN-.
pire period has given the inspiration foI
the youthful evening dresses this year
making wearers look like venerated an.
cestors. The skirts are large. full, with
hips extended.
