COSTUME DESIGNERS
Of PARIS INGENIOUS

PARIS, Sept 3.-The success of
the cocktail dress" worn by society
fappers at Reauville during the noon
eye-opening hour, has aroused Paris
dressmakers to the need for great
er specialization in feminine as well
as masculine attire. Consequently
the ateliers are feVerishly at work
and winter trade, and while the
strictest secrecy is observed, your
correspondent has obtained a few
hints as to what may be expected
during the comm season.
The general indications are that
each garment will be designed for a
| special purpose and just as no truly
smart sportsman would think Of
playing polo in a billiard costume,
or billiards in a polo outfit, so it
will be unthinkable in the future
| for any woman with the least regard
| for the society page to drink tea in
a bouillon suit.
A charming omelette frock prom
Uses to be one of the most success

has a deep yellow yoke and is
shirred around the edge like an egg.

will save those who have cultivated
a taste for this fruit from the en-
barrassment of piiing up countless
stones on their butter plates.

Another receptacle takes care of

rect diners-out. But perhaps the
cleverest feature of the hors d.
oeuvre is the oyster sleeve. No
longer need there be any doubt as
to what to do with a Lynhaven that
slips off the fork between the half
shell and the lip. The sleeve is
water-proofed and holds four oysters
and four slices of bread, which can
be made up into sandwiches upon
arriving at home tired and hungry
after a fashiona BILE dinner.
Nor are men to be forgotten. For
instance there is the morning milk
costume. 1t has long been felt
among careful dressers that the at
tire ordinarily affected by husbands
in the morning when fishing in the
milk and the newspaper from before
the front door is lacking in dignity
and appropriateness. 1t is felt that
the average pajama pattern, however
suitable for wear in bed with the
lights out, is not a thing for the
cold, critical light OF winter morn
ing.
The resourceful Partisan design
er has hit upon a plan so simple it
is a wonder it was never thought of
before. The principle of the thing is
pajamas with an invisible stripe. In
visible stripes are no novelty, but
this designed has adopted the ex-
pediment Of placing them so closely
together that they give complets in
visibility to the wearer. Thus ths

curl papers and a turkey-red wrap
