SCOUTS IN PARIS
EFFORT TO OUST BLACK
Scouts sent to Paris to discover a few early indications of what styles we may expect to see at next month's openings have brought back some news, states a London writer.
Sleeves are to be exaggerated in a balloon effect, giving a top-heavy look to any woman.
■High-backed evening dresses, coming almost to the hairline, yet cut down in front with a complete disregard of modesty.
High collars, cut to the shape of the throat, and invisibly boned.
Boned evening bodices without shoulder straps.
1 Lampshade skirts for evening, and tube-like walking skirts.
Quiltings, cordings, and stitchings will be much used. Big, bold patterns on satin will be in favour for evening gowns, and for daytime.wear printed surah, crepe.de chine, linen, and linen and wool mixtures will be popular.
In the matter of colours there is going to be a determined effort to .oust black from its position of first favourite. Oatmeal tones, shading to yellow, greys verging on lavender, and bright bands of colour on black are some of the forecasts for the new colour chart. -
