Fashion, Ne,us
Notes by Wire
to The Argus

Paris, July 25.-The Spanish
comb has had many placings and
replacings since its recent appear
ance as an adjunct to the couture.
At first it was thrust into the side
Of the highly piled hair. Then it
was thrust straight up in back. But
always it found use as an ornament
for high couture, whereas now it
is thrust jauntily into a couture
whose salient feature is roll of
hair low on the back of the neck.
In this position the Spanish comb
is thrust rakishly to one side, but
outward rather than upward.
Paris, July 25.-Always there is
some one thing without which, in
any season, woman cannot con-
scientiously call herself smart. At
the instant the thing is . crepe de
chine hat, preferably Of some ann
Der shade. and crepe de chine
gown in shade slightly darker.
Both hat and gown must be painted
in black in wavering, watery pat
tern which may have tiny buds or
large spots or half moons inter-
spersed.
London, July 25-Even though
it must be removed when the gar
ment is washed, narrow silver lace
is being used on the finest under
wear. Lemon crepe de chine is used
in one set Of undertakings deluxe. The
Knockers are edged with silver lace
a tiny inset Of which runs from
knee to waist. The camisole is
made Of lemon crepe de chine bro
caded with silver and short mar
