Paris, Oct. 1l.-Although foreign
buyers saw the winter collections
some weeks ago and advance Paris
models now are being shown In
America and other countries, the
couturierS creations are being put
to the real test with the return OF
Parisiennes from fashionable sum-
mer resorts.
Generally speaking. tweed for
sports or early morning wear ~
favored by the chic Frenchwoman.
Top coats are short and mostly
man -tailored and some are entire
ly lined with q flat fur. An trim
ming, nutria. beaver and astrakan
In black. grey and tan are the
most popular.
The jersey Dc lains dress or
three-piece ensemble also shows
promise OF . great vogue here.
The ensemble consists Of . skirt,
wooden jumper and sleevelsss
jacket. The jacket and skirt are
more often made of Jersey but
lightweight tweed and other WOOL
en- materials will also DO seen. The
newest and most attractive designs
for sweaters are reproductions Of
chevron patterns after English
cheHots. Polka-dot designs and
checks are good too. and certain
larger modern designs appeal to
some women.
Tweed Hats, Too
With her tweeds the PariAenne
will wear a hat made Of the same
material in the new irregular
cloche shape, simply banded with
a groagrain ribbon and rows of
stitching on the brim. Al IN al
tentative the matching felt will
also be in the note.
Chief among the new accsssof-
les Is the flat fur tie, worn inside
the suit or coat and knotted like
a mans muffler. For more dressy
wear. the velvet scarf has replaced
the crepe de chine square. This
generally comes in q patterned vel
vet, either the tartan or polka-dot de-
sign. The chic way Of wearing these
new scarves 10 wound once around
the neck with both ends hanging
loosely.
The hip-length fur coat u .
novelty to the Parisienne and one
which she seems likely to adopt
with great enthusiasm. Flat furs
like beaver, caracui. broadtail and
shaver lamb In greys and browns
seem to lead the way and they are
always shown with a dress of an
exactly matching shade. These
short fur jackets are cut on strict
ly tailored lines, with straight up
standing collars that button up ia
the neck and are finished off with
a fur bow or tie Of some descrip-
ton.
Black BroadclOth Practical
Although for afternoon coase
black velvet will find much favor
the couturiers say that the really
practical woman will choose black
broadcloth. Broadtail and caracul
have returned to fashion and Il
sure to be enthusiastically receiv.
ed. The princess line with a Sigh,
flare and the stsaight-line coat are
both In the fashion but the former
will be exclusively reserved tt
more formal clothes.
For her afternoon frock the
Parisienne seems to have taker
quite a fancy 20 figured velvets
but she favors the small design
on dark ground rather than the
more vivid hues. She howeve,
will always include a crepe satir
afternoon frock in her wardrobe
which dress she calls a "passepar
tout"
Lace and Tulle
For evening wear, lace for din.
ner and informal affairs and tull.
for full dress functions are chiefly
favored. Couturiers. predict tina
