Paris Notes

Tailored suits are emphasized.
These are almost always with the
blouse in harmony but separate.
Many charming models are in the
so-called sports wear style. A new
idea is to have a separate collar or
scarf to match the suit in fabric
and color.
Deauville, a lovely model in
white, has a blouse made from a
printed silk shawl. A suit of white
wool crepella has a finely pleatcd
skirt and a blouse-coat of yellow
burc. Accompanying this is
blouse of yellow tussah printed in
lovely tones of yellow with black
and white relief. Discretion" is
a three-piece suit the dress of
which is of white serge trimmed
with navy blue and red. The coat
is bright red Frisotta, a new, nap
py-faced, silky-loOking material.
Rubberized Crepe de Chine
Red and white are featured in a
costume of three-piece effect, with
drap in cape style, the latter lined
with a red printed crepe de chine
and the simple, straight dress Of
white with colorful printed trim
mings.
"Golf" is very sporty looking
model in homespun Shetland wool,
with plain skirt and sweater
blouse. Another interesting effect
is achieved in a knitted suit in
wool chinee, showing a blend Of
navy yellow and castor yarns.
Important for out-of-door wear.
are dresses and coats of rubberized
crepe de chine in lovely shades,
such as sage green, primrose yell
low and rose violine. Sometimes
these dresses are reversible and in
two shades.
There also are several models
made of suede and dressed leath-
ers, notably in bright red and deep
rust color. Leather and rubber
lied crepe de chine are combined
in some of the novelty sports coats
For the regular tailored suits
considerable navy blue is used, al
most an innovation, as blue has
been used so little recently.
Alpaca a Favorite.

is favorite material for town suits.

the blouse and trimming for relief.
"Doux presage" is the name of
navy alpaca suit with a blouse and
lining of cyclamen crepe. with en-
broideries of cyclamen and dark blue,
a truly enchanting tone combination.
In the more dressy effects the
beaded jacket is shown-not the
blouse bodice, but the three-quarter
jacket. An interesting model Of
this style. is in a reseda green crepe
heavily embroidered in beads of steel
and self-tone metal. while a suit Of
navy blue wool rep has solidly bead
ed jacket.
Three-piece afternoon costumes are
made from both wool and silk, printed
and plain. byzantine is new heavy
crepe-back silk with high satin-like
lustre. This, is much used for after
noon costumes. When print is used on
these dressy gowns the design is often
picked out with bead or embroidery
and sometimes with both. Quantities
of pleatings are used in skirts aud
also in capes and mantles. Coaot wraps
are important, being often in three
quarter length.
