FASHIONS FROM PARIS

(By a Paj-Wan Expert.) j PAH September 12. ; a resume or tih: MODE'?. ' With September. ParUiennes are back ' in Paris again, repl-n'i-hin-r their wardrobes ioT a new sear-on. I There is a short racing season round ; about Paris before the late autu-inn hunt-, ing end chate.iu pani<'~. After Dec em-; ber, first Algi.rs and Cairo weTe form-; erly the correct thing, but now, the automobile enthusiasts tour in southern Europe until the opening of the Monte . Carlo season.

COLOURING. ] We man all dress in a particular j way. and yet b- , individual. Women lore ] to bo slaves, and -it the P;imo time vow t i that they are free: But in colouring we 'can. if we will, do exa,*ly as we please. ! Rose -pink, ard sewral tune* of red are I all popular, ami there are exquisite j I 'banana shades, the maize, lh" canary. ! the topaz, the jrnlder.. the duckling vei- | j low. an-1 tango—this i.s the very latest Iby the way. the our of the living I a»pen leaf in autumn— the unripe lemon, and ail the refined and srlori-fipJ mustard tone*-, the t-tr.mge colour ibe elms will a.sstrrae ,in-xt month, ju.-t beloro they shed their leaves -?o-n. li-ow the m].! wot summer ha* mixed prey tones with this autumn, instead of Ted. and gold, and copper. I saw a lovely gown of chiffon brocade in a shad-p of pale purple, which in some wonderfully clever manner gave a hint ot ' rose red :n the drapery, and another fascinating wisp of a frown in a snaky creen shade that was pan h' mole. I and not. entirely without brown in its composition. "For tho.se who .lelirrht jin lovely gowns and lovely colnirs. there Ii- a feast in store for them—v r.._va! feast.

I The critical point of colour in the sketch illustrated is the bit of yellowish geranium satin used for the front draippries of the pkirt. which is slit up in I front, each separate end finishing with ■I a silken taseel. The trained .skirt and I the corsage are in delicate ivory-tinted j lace, and another particularly deft, touch ; I is the arraiuronieut of the uWh-pink tulle. ; j veiling the decolletafre. and forming the , lower part of the sleeves, which are j caught at the top with jewelled clasps.

; XOEFOLK COAT AND SKXRT MODELS. 1 -N'oTfolk coats, rather as parts of suits or for separate country wear, promise to i have even frruatt'r vogue this season ] than usual, and every fashionable tailor j is making a feature of them in smart- ! looking home-spun.=. the sp para t<?
