NEW PARIS STYLES.

EVENING GOWNS MORE GLOWING AND FRILLY.

Evening gowns for the autumn and winter seasons shown in the (Paris dress designers’ salons are more flowing and frilly than ever, says the London “Daily News” fashion editress. Nearly all the salons show tight, slim “slips” I with side drapery and back or shoulder. drapery, sometimes all three. _ ’ Tulle is frequently used, sometimes as a wide hem, but mostly as a short dou]blc train or arranged, in half a dozen gathered frills attached to the inside of the gown above the knee. Ring velvet is again popular, especially with a sheath-like corsage, cleverly cut and frayed drapery falling to the ground at the back and sides, but short in front. Chiffon brocade in a vdriety of floral designs resembling metal brocade, despite its suppleness is also seen in many models. Others show box-pleats at the back, also four or five sets of pleats iu the skirt. Week-end suits are both practical and smart. Novelties consist of a dress of georgette or similar material with a detachable skirt and a short, trimly tailored coat, which is often of tweed. Trimmings include whole furs without. tails or heads. There are many new styles of pyjamas, including paiine velvet, embroidered with diamentes and others of bioge spotted materials. They have legs ornamented with Iwido pleats from the knee downward, suggesting sailors’ loose trousers, and are worn with garters. In fact, jewel sets'are now required to match each frock, led by wooden ‘‘jewellery,” the whole set —necklace, bracelets, buckles and ear-rings—being wood lacquered with pearl. These weigh two ounces. Also, there is much glittering jewellery, inspired by South African, Negro, Chinese and Egyptian ornaments. Some beads are shaped like tigers’ teeth.
