PARIS.
The delicate childish woman with
pale blonde hair and great water
blue eyes Is one Of the most fas-
cinating, the most deliriously en-
chanting to men. Though the less
sophisticated girls of this type have
a penchant for robes de style In
baby blue or wild rose pink (Which
are pretty enough on them), there
is certainly a more styled and re-
cherche costume for them.
I always feel that for the frag-
lie blonde no colors are SO effec-
tive as the delicately grayed tones
Of green. or blue, and OF naturelle
for daytime wear. For evening the
delicately modulated blues. the
ashy pinks and whites will sur
and distinguish her delicacy from
mere childishneSs. She should avoid
as she would the plague. the pro-
nounced browns, the crimson reds,
round her fair charm like a halo,
all the dark tones Of green and
all shades Of dark purple and Law
ender. She may venture into the
more attenuated mauves. ard she
will be lovely in the smokey. dark
blues. The soft, lovely colors win
accentuate the charm OF her pale
hair and her delicate complexion.
Should Avoid QUAINT" Lines
In the lines OF her costumes I
hope that the modern Loreli will
avoid the quaint" Though she ~
childlike in her charm. there Is
no need OF making that fact too
obvious by dressing In crinollned
skirts like an Italian doll, or In
fuckers and fichus like a Greuze
portrait. It is ~cleverer Of her TO
seem TO hide her innocent air
under the garb Of a woman Of the
world-but she need not be smoth-
cred I'm severity either.
I was thinking particularly OF the
Loreli type whe i created some Of
my tulle flounced evening gowns.
The diaphanousness Of the tulle is
quite appropriate TO the fairy-tale
quality of the Loreli's small person.
Designed for her tiny stature and
her slim little figure. also r the
HIGHER waistline costumes in my COL
lection. FOR nef. as FOR other wom-
en-, ! do not believe In an exag-
geratedly high waist. Putting a
belt IN abut the middle seems a
little obvious to me. A slight mar
rowing. made by the suit Of the cos-
tune. which remains supple and
suggests rather than defines the
curves OF the figure, Is actually
more bewitching.
To really harmonize with the del
icate blonde. I think there Is moth
my SO perfect as tulle and chiffon
In the evening. Half diaphanuus
crepe ROMAN will be the best for
her afternoons. or perhaps georg-
cite will be v en better.
Sports Smart
It Is smart to be interested In
sports, even IL one does not prac-
tice them, so the modern Loreli will
appear in the mornings or on the
polo grounds I'm something apprd-
PIRATE but exquisite. Some OF the
featherweight tweeds which / have
had specially woven win be de-
iightful on her. One OF my gray
Jersey costumes Is absolutely dedi-
Gated to her.
AS q tennis costume I would
rather see her choose crepe de chine
than shantung-it is In better har-
mcny with her fine skin-and the
white tennis costume. which ~ cIas-
sic on the European courts. shows
up her gold hair and her fresh, del
icate coloring at its best. She
should avoid. OF course. the heavy
costume jewelry, but the transpar-
ent. and the ~opalescent crystal
