PARIS, May 26.-All tastes to the
contrary, the new fashions are in
effect, and every woman finds her.
self faced with the need of discard
ing the hat or hats that have stood
her in good stead, season after sea-
son; evening gowns that have not
changed their length or silhouette
these several years, and OF more
sharply defining her wardrobe, as
well as arranging complete ensem-
bles for each hour and occasion of
the day.
For your assistance, then, let me
give you a brief summary of what
Paris definitely has decreed-not
only shown in the latest collections
of the Haute Couture, but Spon-
sored and actually worn by the ele-
CANT women of the social world.
Today there are two types OF
clothing, and each type has its va
rious categories. These two types
are, very simply, town wear and out
of flown wear. In each there are
the styles suitable for morning, aft
ernoon and evening.
Town Wear for Morning
Morning wear afor town consists
for the most part of tweed and wool
mixtures developed in tailleurs,
coats and one-piece dresses with
separate Jackets and cape effects. An
occasional more tailored tailleur is
seen in pin strikes and suiting ma
terials, reps and serge, but these are
not as popular as tweed and wool
versions.
If the felt hat has any claim
whatsoever to smartness it is when
worn with morning town wear OF
this description.
Chic, too, are the hats that match
the suits or coats with which they
are worn in material, tweed, woven
and knitted woods. And woven
string hats.
Morning Out Town Wear
Morning wear for out-of-town
now is what we used to call sports
wear. One-piece dresses of shan
tung, tuSsor, silk and wool broad
cloth, and less often linen, are in
order, very intricate with pleats,
tucks and incrustations, but simple
in silhouette.
And if morning wear for out-of-
town is for participation in sports,
then the dresses are especially
fashioned for the sports, different
types for tennis, golf, and walking.
Morning wear for both in town
and out-of- town is neither as short
as it was last season, nor eXag-
gerated in length-never lower than
the middle calf, never as short as
to the knee.
And street accessories are unusu-
ally important in their variety and
chic. Out-stitched gloves, usually
of washable suede and mostly beige
or cream colored; scarfs, usually
rather small and worn inside the
coat or tailleur; shoes, with walking
heels; smart tailored bags in leath-
ers, are all indispensable to morn
ing Smartness.
For the Beach
Beach wear deserves a special
paragraph of its own, because elab-
oratenesS is it's keynote. Building
up from the one-piece bathing suit
for actual swimming, the smart
woman must have costume for
sand Longing, usually pajamas,
sometimes a beach dress, and an
other part of the same costume for
strolling on the boardwalk or sip
ping tea on the terrace.
Even shoes and hats come in for
this change-a big beach hat to be
thrown back over the face, making
a large double brim in the back like
an Indians headgear, or the hat
changed completely for a smaller
hat of the turban variety.
Afternoon Wear
In afternoon and evening wear,
one observes the most decisive mode
changes. For afternoon wear, for
example, skirt lengths vary from
the middle. calf to the ankle, and
anything else is frowned upon as
demode.
This is true of afternoon clothes
for both in town and out of town.
But here the similarity stops, be-
cause afternoon wear has a color
preference of black and occasional
bright red, midnight blue and bottle
green, whereas that for out of town
wear enjoys rangs of dull pastel
shades with pale turquoise blue
as the outstanding favorite.
There is an exception, of course,
in white, which technically is not
color.
