Paris, Oct. 2.-Thc main pTeOCCu- patton of the CouturiCr in preparing his winter models should always b" to lend as much color to his collcc- tion as is compa tble with the sea son.
 The ideal is to hit upon one or two shades that will contrive to look gay despite a wintry sky, Throughout any important collec- ton, therefore, you will perceive this desire to brighten up the somewhat sombre shades set aside for the autumn and winter.
 The vogue of combining several vividly colored materials at the neck and sleeves with q dark dress has been a favorite method the last few seasons This, together with clever incrustation work, has somewhat superseded the use Of embroidery as a decorative medium.
 Jewciry Rcigns
 Jewelry, however, remains the most frequently worn as well as the most popular form of decora- ton. Long ago I studied the art of synchronizins jewels with dress and it is now quite a long time ago since I showed my first jewel" dresses.
 It was the absence of cmbroid , cry and the necessity of giving some sort of Tight" to clothes that brought about the tremen- dous infatuation for fancy or rath- CT imitation jcwclry, The princi- pal quality of such articles, which I readily recognize, is their lack of pretontiousness Another qual- ity, appealing particularly to wo- men, is the wide range of colors that can be obtained in false stones, enabling them to match any frock
 The only fault have to find with imitation jewelry, or rather, the fault I have to find with the women who indulge in this whim is that they often make the mis- take of wearing 1t with formal gowns. Such limitations undouht- cdly deter from the acme of smart ness a black dress can achieve. Formal afternoon and evening gowns having definitely come into their own again, we all agree that real gems alone can correspond to their real distinction. A bcauti- full necklace or pendant will moi only compete a gown of plain although rich material, but will greatly enhance it.
 The classical form is the only one under which real art is rec ognizable Those people who as sert that there is never any nov city in any form termed "class!- cal" could not apply this rcproach | to the work of our leading jew elers. Vancleef and Arpels art the creators Of the various pieces of iewclry shown with my dresses and these are all original, both ir design and coloring.
 A modern diamond necklace has none Of the rigidty of pre- war days. Supple mountines have opened up a vast field to jewel CTS. Moreover, they now boldl! mingle sapphires, rubies. emerald and turuuoises, fashioring then into galaxy Of color never see1 before.
 Importance of Jewelry
 Women must remember tha real iewelry is not always more luxury or even a simple and ma tural adjunct 10 their dress / valuable necklace or pendant vii often form an integral part o either an afternoon or evenin dress, in the same way as a Howe or embroidery. It is more than
 trimming.
 Women who possess a quantit of real jewels should know in stinctively when and how much t
 wear according to the circum stances, the clothes and the hou of the day. Too great a numbe
 of jew els on an informal dress ar
 bad taste and discretion can neVe
 be overlooked in such a diff!ou
 question as that of wearin
