FASHIONABLE LIST

(By PATRICIA SHELTON. staff correspondent of the “Christian Science Monitor”; PARIS. After two months of an almost steady diet of looking at spring fashions in New York, Rome and Paris, you’d think I’d never want to see another piece of trapping. But no, what I’d really like to do is go shopping. 1 have a list:— Artificial white camellia. I can’t stand the sight of them, but without one you’re a fashion nobody. A pair of red shoes, patent leather pump with 2in chunk for a heel. Three belts IJin wide kidskin ribbon, 4in-wire cowhide with heavy buckle, and a chain and pearl rope (or some dime-store pearls to wind through the chain I got here last year). A saucy straw beret, and they can keep their gangster fedora. Gobs of chain necklaces,

from a quaint boutique on the Rive Gauuhe, or Paris’s nearest equivalent to Woolworths.

A tunic any kind. The idea is to let the skirt down from the top if and when hemlines drop and pretend I’m going to wear it. A three-piece suit long, cropped, or weskit in some combination of red, white, and blue. A torso dress with movie star sleeves and a skirt swinging wide from the hipline.

A reefer coat (from Yves St Laurent) with long revere collar.

A travelling suit with hidden short breeches.

A pair of skintight sequinned bermuda shorts with a sweater top, and a ruffled dance dress for evening. An organza anything by Givenchy. And, (the only thing on the entire list I'm probably going to get) one bright red kewpie doll lipstick.
