From all signs this will be a de
cisive season in Paris in so far as
fashion creation is concerned. Tiie de
signers seem to have taken on their
old accustomed stride. They have
turned their efforts unreservedly to
leadership In the world of style.
To aid them In this crucial moment
there are nrriving from the United
States, from South America, and from
England hosts of buyers and fashion
experts to watch the latest develop
ments: This is almost a new expedi
ence. At least it is a revived experi
ence, for through tiie last five years
only the most favored of buyers have
been allowed to cross the water and
only a few of the dressmakers have
kept up their work with anything like
pre-war vigor.
American women during the war
have developed a style all their own.
They are dressing now as suits the
climate and their life and their pur
suits, which are quite different from
the French woman’s. And one sympa
thizes with tiie buyers, who wonder
whether their clients at home will re
fuse to accept tiie wonderful things
brought over from France. If their
eyes are trained only for beauty they
will be dazzled into letting all their
accumulated notions of dress go by
the board and the conservatives at
home will not be suited.
At this time of the year all of
France, as all of the rest of the world,
seeks a cool spot; and so it is at Deau
ville and the other resorts by the sea
side that one looks upon the fashiona
bly arrayed crowd of women and is
able to gain some idea of the trend
of the times as regards dress. They
are wearing the very lutest things
from a French point of view, and, of
course, the majority of the fall fnsli
ions will follow in some respects the
lines favored just now.
Well, the tendency is all in (he di
rection of the skirts that are shorter
than anything America has ever worn
or even dreamed about. You hear it
Said that the Parisians are wearing
their skirts very long, but when you
see them with their skirts actually ex
tending just below their knees, so that
when their arms are raised the skirt
pulls above the knee, you know what a
short skirt really is. It is easy*on ma
terial tin 1 is extremely good looking
when the figure of the wearer can
stand the strain. The skirts are tight,
too, but what matters that when their
length is what it is? No trouble about
taking a good, long step in a dress of
this character. Then the coats, when
it is a suit, reach almost to the bot
tom of (lie skirts, leaving, in fact, only
about two or three inches of the skirt
to be seen. The coats are either strict
ly tailored or they show a little full
ness about the hips. That tells a story
of forthcoming fullnesses of even
greater volume.
It is so with the dresses. Always
there Is a slight gathering of extra
material where the hips join the waist.
It is the pannier that is greeting us on
the broad highway of fashion. As yet
It Is not large enough nor full enough
to be hlurming, though there are ru
uiuia ui noups mmui me nips mm even
about the bottoms of the skirts.
The sleeves now in vogue can hardly
be called sleeves. They actually are
just a little strip of material over the
top of the shoulder. In most Instances
that is all. and the Parisians wear
them fearlessly for morning and after
noon. In the evening there is no sign
to be seen of sleeves.
Even the blouses for wear with
tailored suits are scantily equipped as
to sleeves. They will be quite high at
the neck, buttoning up under the chin
most uncomfortably on a hot day, and
then they will have these little, inade
quate sleeves—that is, they are inade
quate for anything except setting off
a good-looking arm.
Indeed, a Frenchwoman’s dress of
the present mode is little more than
two strips of material sewed together
and cut kimono fashion, though the
lines of her frock are not flowing;'
they follow the outline of her figure.
Evening gowns, far from being an
exception to this rule, carry things to
an exaggerated degree. The economical
i use of material there extends to the
neckline, which not only opens at back
to the waist, but sometimes below that
point. These gowns are low in front
also. All that is used for the bodices
are two pointed strips of material on
either side of the front. In order to
keep this on there are strings of jewels
or beads attached to the points strung
around the neck, and from the back of
the neck strung to the waistline again.
It is the fabric of the evening gown
that counts for everything and its
draping.
Favorite Color Combination.
Black and white is by all odds the
favorite color combination at the
French resorts at this time of the year.
Black and white stripes, since early
spring, have been very good for sepa
rate silk dresses and for suits, as well
as for topcoats. Now the new woolly
fabrics are appearing, and they show
these stripes In wide and narrow ar
rangements.
Then there is the black gown with
rlie white hat; that Is the most effec
tive. This season they are wearing
over the white bat, whlort is sans trim
ming, a black, lacy veil. This makes
the costume even more effective. The
veil does not necessarily cover the
face—In fact, It rarely does—but Its
lacy pattern Is so distributed that the
white showing through the black
transparent pattern makes n trimming
of Its own.
Another black and white combina
tion Is that of the white frock, usually
of taffeta, and the black picture hat.
Black shoes and stockings are worn
with this, and then, in the most start
ling Instances, a red or a brilliant
green parasol Is carried. White silk
jersey frocks form effective portions
of these black and white combina
tions.
Hat* Without Trimming.
The hats, as a forecast of fall head
gear, are mostly without trimming.
The style Is all in the line, but how
that line Is obtnined is a complete
mystery. Upon examination the riddle
only becomes more complicated. There
seems to be nothing there except a
band of something stiff to fit about the
head. The crown and the brim are
entirely without inner stiffening or
frame. The trick does not allow for
explanation. It is all in the wizard who
causes it to be. Yet, when this seem
ing mass of velvet or satin is put on
the head it takes a shape and -form
that commend it to any wearer. It
seems to have been made to set off at
its best that face alone, and while you
cannot say that the hat is round or
oval or square or long, still it has
shape. ^
The felt blocked hats worn with
midseason gowns are round as to
crown and as to brim as well. The
brim turns up at the same distance all,
the way round and the only trimming*
for the hat is a silk band of the same
color. Hats of this character in beige
and taupe worn with navy blue suits
are effective. Then there is another
variation of this hat done in duvetyn.
