LAST WORD ON STYLE
AS PARIS SETS 1T

French dressmakers continue to
show new models for their private
clientele.
At Madeleine G Madeleine's, jackets
are in finger-tip and three-Quarter
length, generally with fared sides.
Suit skirts are inches from the
ground and straight. Coats are full
length and in semi-fitted effects, with
very much-fared skirts.
The three-quarter length jacket for
three-piece costumes and for skirt and
jacket suits stands out as the advanc-
ed note for spring, and is reported by
several of the houses to be the type
most in demand
In dresses, Madeleine & Madeleine
show good choice of short, full
skirted, distended-hip dancing frocks
for young girls, made with snug-titt-
ed bodices, low, rounded decolletage
uncovering the shoulders and short
puff sleeves. Handsome metal matelas-
ses, supple, changeable taffetas in
light colors, and tulle are the favor
ed materials for these.
For full-dress evening gowns for
older women the long, slender, draped
lines featured at the time of the Au-
gust openings are adhered to.
At Paul Caret's, the line of the Au-
gust opening is still carried out;
namely, tailored suits with finger-tip
length jackets with bloused backs and
belts across the front only, and skirts
with marked movement toward the
front.
In tailored dresses, bolero effects
and circular tunics on skirts are fea-
tured, with long, elaborately trimmed |
sleeves and collarless necks.
Evening dresses for the most part |
are draped, and the diagonal decol-
letage which leaves one shoulder en-
tirely bare stands out conspicuous
".
Metal lace, crushed metal fabrics
and velvet are the chief fabrics for
evening used by this house. Here, as
elsewhere, satin is very favorably
spoken of for midseason tailored mod
els and for spring.-Special from Par
IS Office of the Dry Goods Economist.
