Paris, July Midsummer in Paris crystallizes fashion ideas and esta blishes certain lines and modes as correct
 The Parisian, far more than her American sister follows lines that she knows suit her figure and styles that emphasize her lndlVldu- aIitv rather than those that make her look like other women.
 Standardization is one thing that French women abhor, Yet so de- pendent upon the atmosphere Of the times are all styles that through countless individual costumes there run certain definite style points.
 Quaintnoss is with us again. Yet 1t would hardly be 1929 if just auaintness was enough. A note ot sophistication enters and demure collar tops a very mature princess cut frock or puff cuffs end form fitting sleeves.
 Sheer Fabrics in Favor
 All skirts are longer, With this rising wastlines are noticeable ev anywhere and it seems merely a question of time until the Empress high waistline may be more than a heroic venture in chic.
 The use of exousitely sheer fan- rics for dressmaker tailored frocks is a favorite trick this summer and gives any smart gathering a re- strained yet festive air Colors are lively and fluttoring faces, bows, embroidery, rufflcs, cape collars and flounces all Tighten the scene, too.
 The treatment of the ncckline is one of the, most important sumner developments. Paris designs new necklines with ties, bows, cape col lars or yokes It is quite amusing to see the clever way some Couturl- CTS use soft lace collar and vestee. with tailored four-inhand of the frock's fabric finishing ii.
 Fuller and Longer Lines
 Two of the newest styles are. the regulation princess cut, with far ing skirt after the garment reaches the hipline. and the one-pece frock that belts itself tightly and in a de- cidedly confident manner at normal waistlne. with circular skirt far ing to give a silhouette that would have seemed old fashioned last summer.
 A fine example of this latter type was a rose beige flat crepe seen at the races. It had charming little Eton jacket effect in it's waist, ere ated by double rows Of hand flag gotting, It buttoned down the back, with tiny buttons covered with the crepe and belted itself very snugly with it's own fabric.
 The circular skirt was finished in scallops bound with one-inch of white crepe and the round. hand scalloped collar and turned back cuffs were the same. It was top ped by a white ballibuntl hat with one flaring wide side to it's brim that had inserts of rose beige felt.
 Two Charming Outfits
 Sophisticated and yet quaint was q black and white princess frock, with white organdie vestee, collar and puff cuffs and a four-in-h hand tie of the polka dotted silk. A rather tailored black Paris Meme hat topped this, with flaring bow Of grosgrain on one side. Typical of the new fuller and longer lines was a lace ensemble Tn beige, with it's edges darker 1 brown. The frock had rounding yoke with a wide, shallow neckI;no and knee flounce that WAS fin- lshod in scallops. The coat was | quite loose and long, with it's edges scalloped also. It was topped by a i smart little beige felt hat, with it's i hrlm bound in brown. The shoes of beige had brown hindings also and | a blonde fur gave it's note of lux- | ury.
