Paris, April S.--The first Sunday of
the Longchamps season attracted a
huge society crowd this afternoon, dis
closing that the season, which usually
commences about May 1, is already
under way
The sunshine encouraged the fash
ionable to put on their summer
models for the first time since these
were shown by the dressmakers.
Thus it was a shock to find the
smartest women fighting the arbi-
trary modes. For instance, they cling
obstinately to black in spite of the
declaration of Jean Patou. echoed by
nearly all the other style creators.
BLACK is dead: long live colors."
In addition to that. the smart
women will not wear the bright
futurist silks of colonial design which
feature nearly all the collections, pre-
ferring quieter and less glaring colors,
such as almond green, duh red, soft
orange and mauve i'll contrast with
the style masters insistence on bright
yellow. red. green and blue.
Russet Popular Color.
Russet is again crowned a success
ful color because in the opinion of
the modern American woman, her
gown should not attract attention
away from her face.
Women have definitely refused
