Another is electric-blue, purple, and red. Persian green an,l magenta are particularly vibrant. Redplum, periwinkle-blue and mauvepink are equally exciting. The dolman sleeve on evening jackets is cut so lull that it results in a- bloused 'Silhouette. The Paris couturier, Alix, makes beach suits with Arab trousers ot wool jersey .and Orientalises them yet ’further by broad two-color jersey sashes, lie uses also the Hindu sari, as the hauls of a draped bodice; and makes charming lounging suits and beach pyjamas of prated linens like Egyptian, frescoes. White rubber rain eoats whose surface is so rough that it looks as if it had been dealt with by a trowel arc a rage in Paris. Anny Blatt has pleased the Princess Elizabeth of England by a knitted coat of soft blue, with a belted hack and a hemline flared by inverted pleat. It is available for other princesses—not to say, private little girls. Covered buttons at the base of docolletnges are an expression of the favouite employment of discrepancies. Where one looks for a jewel or a ribbon as gay as a- candy box one finds a low of tailored discs. * Vivid scarfs of elastic rayon, crossed and draped to form belts like waistcoats arc issmart with plaid pique raid curs and nlsoi with tailored evening suits of Swiss organdy. Overskirts and overskirt effects are much useiff in the evenings. One skirt may he long and open up the front revealing the other.
