FROM PARIS

[By M. |5. Piujimeii.] Smart hostesses arc now reaping the benefits of the recent new Paris shows, and the next few weeks, when the season is at its height, will see'something to make the mouth water. Fortunately there are styles to suit all figures, or what would the" short woman do if she simply had to appear in a long train with wide volants on each side? Trains are certainly making a bid for favour, so be prepared. It is all part and parcel of the “ turn back ” trend. Likewise the large floppy type of Hat, so useful on windy days. But over here wo are better off than you in that respect. Anyhow, you have ample choice, from a small well-fitting hat made of rows of feathers and perched right to the forehead, to the almost-unrecognisable beret or simple felt. With regard to the latter wear them off the face, rather tilted to the back, and, of course, at a sharp angle. Novelties for the ordinary dress are really what they profess to be—new. A large white pique collar rolled up the throat in front and open at the back; a blouse with a slit at the upper back and finished with a bow; a collarette in wide ribbed ribbon standing up at the back and falling gradually to the waist; or a dainty little organdi lapelet well pleated. Isn’t that enough ? These basic ideas will help the clever needlewoman to be quite Paris.”
