Fall Models
Convey Look
of ObuIence
BY ROSETTE HARGROVE

PARIS, Aug. 11.-There are many
thrills for the feminine world in
the latest ideas Of the Paris coutur-
iers, but one thing certain is that
they will not make the mistake of
trying to foist crinolines, bustles or
any of the other sartorial atrocities
Of the Victorian era on modern
women.
Fall fashions usually express
themselves in terms Of street clothes
in the average woman's mind. Eve
ming clothes come after. There is
a very definite sense of satisfaction
in the first wearing of an autumn
coat dress or coat, just as spring is
synonymous with jaunty, gaily col
ored tailleurs.
We already know that the next sea-
sons street clothes will show an art
in fur trimming more lavish, luxur-
ious and flattering than has ever yet
been seen within living memory.
The old, stereotyped idea of
straight fur collar, more or less VOL
luminous, and cuffs that could never
be mistaken for anything else, will
have to be forgotten. Advance fall
models show fur trimmings that
were never meant to impart any
idea Of comfort or even warmth.
They just convey a prosperous, opu-
lent looH which can be taken as a
direct challenge to the present wave
Of pessimism.
Cloth Dresses the Rage
Cloth coat dresses are a certain
feature Of fall fashions that no
woman can afford to overlook.
There is something very attractive
about a beautifully tailored coat
dress and a judicious touch of fur
at the neck or sleeves or in both
places. The first lightweight coats
have bands of fur Stimulating
jacket. These models, which at first
sight could be mistaken for a suit,
promise soon to be all the rage.
Fitted silhouettes are a sure bet
too, so far as fall coat styles are
concerned, and this will create an
altogether different line. This fitted
top will be further accumulated by
the decidedly more voluminouS
sleeves, a trend which started last
winter when much of coats detail
was concentrated on It's sleeve.
And the quaint, fashioned
look Of these styles will be further
enhanced by the temperance on
the scene of fashions of fabrics like |
ribbed velvet, ribbed silk, heavy
surahs and others.
New Hats Responsible
There is very considerable |
change to be noted too, in the ma
ture Of fur trimming. All fiat furs I
like galliac, broadtaiI, pony and |
shaved lamb are being superseded |
by the more expensive sable, lynx,
fox and that newcomer, leopard.
AS matter of fact, just as fiat |
tering an effect can be achieved |
with mere touch of a really high |
class fur than with an over -abund- |
ance of some second-rate skin and
the originality and chic Of a model |
will reside more in the originality
of the trimming than in its bulk.
1t is extraordinary how in the
short lapse of few weeks the whole |
of the happy go-lucky, casual epoch |
as suddenly came to an end. OF |
course the new hats are responsible |
and the fact that all women are in |
perfect fever to adopt them and |
are wearing them shows that they
have been produced at psychology
cal moment.
Hair-Dress Varies
Ostrich plumes gently waving in
the wind, coque feathers fascading
down one side of the face, velvet
ribbon trimmings, flowers, all these
are features that call for and har-
monte perfectly with sable, mink
and other rich furs.
The evening, or restaurant hat, is |
with us again and not in the shape
of bejeWelled cap, more or less
diminutive, that has been tentative
ly offered during the last two or
three seasons and very rarely seen,
but a real, formal hat, complete |
with ostrich feather or the rarer
osprey.
All sorts of new hairdressing
fashions are also being launched at |
the moment, the trend being dis
tinctly divided between the semi
long adopts and the short-hair eff
feet with wisps of varying length
and patterns plastered on the
cheeks in the fashion of the First |
Empire. Naturally the new hats
demand an impeccable couture,
especially on the side that is dis
closed by the tilted brim effect.
