emphasizes while softening the
slender line of the body.
Patou divides woman's day into
it's various component parts. He
overlooks no hour in the day when
he may enhance the charms of the
fashionable woman with beautiful
clothes. There are delightful
sports things, dresses for tennis,
for golf, for mountain climbing,
for shooting, for snowy days and
for languid Southern ones. There
are coats and wraps for flying,
for rain and for travelling.
He shows smart little tailored
suits and blouses for the morning
promenade, for shopping, for the
races for restaurant de jeuner--
three-piece suits of infinite vari-
ETY. from the standpoint of color
and trimming. He features ,the
ensemble consisting of dress and
coat, the coat sometimes match
ing exactly and again contrasting
in just such a way as to make one
feel that it actually is compile
ment to the dress. Then there
are tailored dresses for both
morning and afternoon wear and
an enchanting series. of dancing
dresses and tea frocks. ~
Not overlooking the woman who
often remains at home for tea he
has made most beautiful costumes
d'interieur and tea gowns. Many
OF the latter will serve beautifully
for intimate dinner dresses-what
the French term diner chez-soi.
Every imaginable thing for in.
formal as we'll as elaborate even
ing functions has been thought
out by Patou, including the gor-
geous evening costume, where the
dress and the coat match or are
brought into harmony through
similarity in color, material or
trimming.
AS source of inspiration for
many of his trimmings Patou has
turned to Chinese, Persian and
Hindu Chinese gowns. He has had
special materials woven for him
by the Societe France. He has a
series of beautiful patterns which
he puts out under the name OF
Tapisserie Beyruth. Another
lovely material which comes in all
colors is an embroidered satin call
ed Ecran PERSIAN. Still another is
an embroidered metal brocade
WHICH is named Lame Persan and
Lame Indus and a beautiful series
of embroidered patterns called
Fleurs de Japan. There is also
a lovely brocade which he puts out
under the name Laque Core

dress worn without the coat.
Patou's afternoon costumes are
divided into three cat.gories -
the dress to be worn under a fur
or wooden cloak, the three-piece
garment made in two different
materials and worn with a jacket
or three-quarters-length coat.
Many of the upper parts of these
dresses are made of Illuminated and
brocaded fabrics made exclusive
ly for this designer.
There are brocad>s which are
exact reproductions of those seen
in old Persian robes. The embroid-
cries are also splendid reproduce
tions of ancient designs. The third
type of afternoon costume is the
Ensemble, which promises to be
the smartest innovation of the
coming winter. The Ensemble,
which consists of a dress and
cloak especially designed to be
worn together, is most sought af-
ter by fashionable Parisiennes.
In addition to the Byzantine
crepes used with reversible effects
there are sokol crepes and Mo-
rocco and Turkish crepes. There
is also silk velvet, which will DE
extensively used. There are af-
ternoon dresses made of brocades
in matching shades and in minute
designs so well. combined that this
material retains all the youthful
appearance of plain materials and
does not lose any of the richness
of the brocades. The character
istics of these Ensembles lie IN
the great number of embroidered
cloaks which serve to cover .he
dresses and will be the great sue
cess of the coming season.

Fashion Notes
From Paris

The return to the old traditions
of the Haute Couture brings in
its train the triumph of the full
evening dress. In the restaurant,
the theater or in society the We
man in the simple dinner dress
cuts poor figure beside the more
brilliant full-dress; the nnpreten-
tious little dress for evening wear
easy to put on, is being dethroned
by the full evening dress. and it is
only simple justice, since the men
discard more and more that en-
nobled garment the dinner jacket
for the dress-coat. The dress-ccat
demands the accompaniment of a
beautiful robe, very decollette,
sumptuous and brilliant.
Those in the important collec-
tions fulfill these conditions with
out restriction. There is an orgy
of richness in laminated fabrics,
colored velvets and dazzling en-
broideries. The dress which SYM
bolizes this reviving pomp is the
dress called cor rouge" of which
the sumptuous material and the
original trimming together form
an ensemble worthy of the Arab
ian Nights.
The Oriental note is strongly
emphasized in all embroideries.
An interesting novelty in this
needlework is the introduction of
tiny mirrors, such as are seen on
the skirts of the Nautche girl dam
GERS. Some of the coats and dress
es are entirely covered with Chi
nese and Japanese landscape de-
signs, usually done in metal Of one
color only.
Striking Embroidcries in Black
b and White Effects.
There -are exquisite things in
metal cloth with metal embroider-
les and many lovely white effects
with embroidery in black. GRAY is
quite strongly featured, particu-
larly gray plush. A lovely three.
piece model in gray plush, trim
med with brilliants, is called Ma
nouk, and makes one think of the
North Pole.
The strictly tailor-made has not
regained its vogue; the elegant
woman wears it but little and only
on very definite occasions, such as
for travelling or for morning out
ings. Apart from these occasions,
and often even on these occasions,
the tailor-made is discarded for
the cloak-dress made in wooien
velvet, cotton velvet or in grain
de poudre. These dresses are pro-
fusely trimmed with fur in order
to give them that comfortable and
warm appearance essential to n
winter garment. When the tailor
made is worn the finishing touch
of elegance it attained with the
ever-fashionable blue or silver fox
scarf.
Innumerable chemise dresses in
serge, in velvet and in Smyrna
cloth are shown. Women may rest
easy that the chemise dress has
been saved for them.

clothes but knows how 10 present
them and sell them.
This designer makes a most
unusual and at the same time 4
most emphatic use of the flare.
Practically every garment in his
line has the flare cut somewhere,
either in front, at the back or on
the side. The flare is so discreet,
however, that it is barely notice
able. Thus it takes nothing from
the straight silhouette, but rather

mande, which is very dull crepe
one one side and on the other a
satin of high lustre.
Ingenious Use of oDouble-Faced
Fabrics. -
He does all kinds of interesting
things with this two-surfaced silk.
In the circle at the top of this
page is a model typical of Patou's
new silhouette as well as his clever
use of materials. Black crepe
Byzantine, the special new satin
surfaced reversible crepe just
mentioned, is used for it. The two
large circular flounces are mount
ed with the satin surface outside.
The body of the robe shows the
fdull crepe side.
He also has a Byzantine broche
which has most delightful little
jacquard patterns in self tone
scattered all over the surface.
Sometimes he uses his brocaded
crepe along with plain crepe in
one dress.
At the lower left Of the page is
illustrated one of Patou's evening
dresses, simple in line but of most
striking and beautiful metal bro
cade. 1t is further enhanced by
vari-color and metal embroideries.
He has named it Mutt de Chine.
He does another clever thing
with wool reps. This material he
uses with the reps line, cut both
vertically and in bayadere line.
lit is curious what a difference
this makes in the tone or surface
of the fabric. 1t would seem as
if two different materials were
used.
Many of the patterns in the en-
broideries and brocades are done
from drawings by Patou himself.
One of his newest models showing
his original treatment of embroid-
cries is illustrated at the upper
right of the sketch. 1t consists of
a dress and coat of brown velvet
and beautiful Persian embroider-
ed crepe Byzantine in brown and
red.
Three Distinct Types of After
noon Costumes.
The lines of the coat harmonic
perfectly with the cut of the dress.
Both the basque of the coat and
the flounce of the dress skirt flare
at the same angle. The upper part
of the dress is made with the
beautiful Persian-patterned en-
broidery. The sketch directly at
the left of this model shows the
