SHALLOW CROWN HAT.
Smart women will, try to wear the various adaptations of the fez, but the new hat with shallow crown and soft brim that dips in front is likely to be more popular. Simple ribbon trimming on these is carried to a bow at the back, writes a Paris correspondent. Paul Poiret attributes the wild desire to be "different," which has produced trousers on the one hand and the "dressy" gowns on the other, to a necessary : reaction against American simplicity. America wanted easy-to-copy gowns, says Poiret, and now people are tiring of them. Washing velvet is being used'for tailor-mades as well as a glossy damask linen, and stiff lace, organdie, net and taffetas are favoured for evening wear. The "angel gowns" made with "wings" of lace or tulle are popular for young girls. In the evenings women . are wearing pierrot ruffles round their necks, with green eyelids and very white faces;'alternatively they affect green daffodils, red violets or blue snowdrops made of silk and festooned across the back of their gowns. Necklaces, bracelets and fans of fresh flowers are made to match.
