HOW many times day do

task of emptying the sink

In place of the usual sink

W the most amusing novel
ties to be seen at the great Paris
couturiers, who are now showing
their spring collections. Yes,
SIR" is q dinner jacket for wom-
en- made of black velvet and
edged with satin.
Keeping up the masculine idea,
there is a smart little pointed
waistcoat to go with it, with
three buttons and q black skirt
ornamented with q band Of black
velvet and made of the black
cheviot which has always been
used for trousers. OF course, there
had to be a feminine touch about
it so the designer added "a pretty
jabOt of lace instead Of the usual
stiff collar and tie.
Another novelty from the same
house is a blue serge morning
jacket made on much the same
lines and very chic for the morn
ing promenade in the Bots.
Quite the other extreme, are
!, thes new, chiffon coats. displayed
by Magdeleine des Hayes in the
rue de la Paixt They are filnly
bits OF material usually in dark
.er tones, worn over the smart
patterned silk or crepe dresses of
the season. One in black is
straight and plain and comes
over a lovely lowered material,
looking much like a mist over
flower garden. It really is very
cool-looking and yet wrap after
all, and anyone who has ever
worn a chiffon wrap knows thai
there is just enough warmth in
it for a cool summers day.
Another delightful chiffon coat
comes in pastel blue and is
worn over soft pink silk. Black
and pink are a favorite conbina-
ton of this dressnaker as well
as the old standby black and
white.
Varying the coat is the little
cape which is bobbing IN
