to The Argus

Paris, Dec. S.-Leather is the
fashionable material. from which
madame is having her newest gown
cut today. Poiret himself has de-
signed a shiny leather dress in
brown, with full. skirt, long sleeves,
and an effect of crisp stiffness al
though the material is extremely.
soft. Some of the leather gowns
are trimmed with suede.
Paris, Dec. 8.-Most of the coats
today achieve an effect Of ease and
comfort in one of two ways. They
have the bloused back or a small
cape. The straight, slim line is the
desired one still. Skirts have de-
cided to remain around ankle
length. One of the favorite mate
rails, as we'll as one of the loveliest,
is stamped velvet.
London, Dec. "a g~iistening
thread. Of tinsel is almost CON-
pulsory in afternoon and evening
gowns at present. Gold and silver

lost nom of their popularity. But
when a gown is not made wholly
o rim part of these glorious fabrics,
it must have glints of metallic
lustre in its pattern or in an en-
broidered panel.
London, Dec. 8.-Little hats of
bright green felt are popular just
now. They must be pulled low over
the eyes SO that the hair shows only
at the sides. For trimming they
aften have bands of suede, crisis
crossing the crown or folded around
it, with suede ends hanging over
one ear for six inches.
New York, Dec. 8.-Nowadays, if
you wear laced shoes, you are like
ly to find the lacings concealed be-
meath a slash tongue hanging like
a wide tassel down the shoe front,
fSome of the smartest new oxfords
come like this. With wing tips and
elaborate perforated patterns, they
are meant for wear with tailored OF
sport suits.
New York, Dec. 8.-One of the
handsomest rings observed at the
opera recently indicated the reviv.
ing vogue Of aQuamarines. A verJ
