NOVELTIES FROM PARIS

Trimmings and Ornaments

“Mavis.”)

id Loudon, February 9. e. The Paris “openings” are now in full ,d swing, and although patriotic women i e are taking their fashions from British ts designers, they are naturally anxious ,p to see what the famous French houses create. , r Brass and white metal buttons, metal e thread embroidery, a new feather material, boleros, bows, and the use of both cottons and woollens for evening ’ gowns are among the novelties which , come from the gay city. The metal but- ' tons are used on the military and naval ' c fashions, and are often accompanied br “ a metal necklet and a metal belt. The '• metal thread embroidery is used for the ’ s same type of models as well as on the m more formal afternoon frocks. The t, feather material is delightfully soft, a and provides the new spring coats with i’, large collars and gauntlet cuffs which t are particularly smart. The bolero com - 5, pletes the morning frocks and suits, and r is to take the place of tbe short belted r coat of last season. Bows may trim I, anything from a ha£ to an evening s gown, while morning frocks are attractively finished with inset bows of tbe s same material. The cotton and woollen a evening gowns are, however; a decided x innovation, and should prove a distinct asset to the industries of Lancashire ’ and Yorkshire.
