PROPHECIES FROM PARIS
Scouts sen l ; 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. Sleeves are to he 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. Lampshade skirts for evening and tube-like walking skirts. Quiltings, cordings and stitchings will be much usech 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 olf colours there is going to be a determined effort to oust black from its position of first favourite. Oatmeal tcnes, ishading to yellow, greys verging on lavender, and bright bands of colour on black are some of the forecasts for the new colour chart.
