First comes the line of the
frock. The present fashion Of

ing the same effect, and there
fore will be entirely individual
to the Wearer.
Fabrics are more diverse
than they have ever been.
With the increa Sed use of
woolens, materials double their
possibility for variation. There
are more and more charming
fabrics than there have ever
been, and they are in many
smart colors and combinations.
The same costume. chosen in

capes, and so on. With the in
genuity of all Paris at our COM
mand. it is not necessary to
follow the lead of any of our
neighbOrS.
Color is another means of
being different, as this season
offers a number of good tones
and combinations. Black, blue,
green and the brown family will
all be good, and there will he
splaSheS of red and other vivid
colorS. Combinations of two or
more tones are in good fashion.
AS a final opportunity, there
are accessories. Never have

The main reason for this
Change from a few seasons ago
Is that women are tired of
meeting themselves several
times day on the street.
They object to seeing exact
copies of their complete cos
tune in three or four store
windows. So now, though
many women will choose the
same fashions, they must vary
them in detail, give them indi-
V1duality through small changes.
so that there will be nothing
uniform about the finished eff
feet.
The Paris designers, from
selfish reason, have helped Wo-
men to get away from the
habit of dressing alike. They
nave long been annoyed by the
wholesale copying of their Crea-
tlonS, so for several seasons
they have been making clothes

women have desired more in
dividuality, they have gradually
adopted these new designs.
