\ €6 revity, the soul of the French child’s ‘chic,” Y E and in the youngest circles, the shorter the garment, the higher the social scale. A de- lightful morning or afternoon might be spent in the gardens »f the Parc Monceau, where prim nurses, baby carriages and children of all ages, from toddlers to school age, gather for the serious business of passing the day out of doors. If the day be cool, you will see the tiniest of girls in the briefest of coats and hat to match—of vivid coral mousse de soie, embroidered in still prettier colors, by Simone Cozeret. - Older sister on her way to a dainty afternoon party, in royal blue velvet from Decre’ Soeurs. ' - From Exclusive Shops of the Rue dela Paix One wishes one might, but- there is not time, so we get just a glance at the passing shops—a sparkling window, full of jewels, but on closer view, they are cut steel, everywhere— on a velvet bracelet, a velvet necklace, veil pins, hat pins, ear- rings and girdles. There are delicate-colored French agate necklaces, too, and then exquisite laces, and beaded tunics—on we go, here a box of chic papers, eolored, of course, perfumes, of every kind, in unique little glass bottles, a leather cigarette case and vanity combined, a perfume burner and boudoir lamp in one, and hundreds of other novel, colorful things, that express the beauty and joyousness of the French shops, and that our patrons will be delighted to see. Seen on the _Bau/evardfgf Farss Aglow with color and ever changing silhouettes—one sees the every nuance of style reflected in the passing dainty feet, and .trim ankles with daring blocked wool hose, in effective colors. Bare white arms above the fascinating mousquetaires of dull colored suede—vanity, this time in the shape of a black velvet case studded with cut steel—a hand-embroidered linen square, her handkerchief—and every gown, wears its girdle, whether of cut steel, lovely scarab, colored placques strung on metal cords, or jet—and every woman her earrings, dainty hoops of pearl, jet or glistening white stones—find all of them here. [mj)or/ab'omReuea/ing Paristan Cmflsmawbip Under the play of firelight on silken hangings, tinkling of del- icate porcelain and women’s voices, this is the perfect setting for an exquisitely beaded tea gown of black—or a gown of mauve and gray, with delicate cream lace—which a hostess wears in her most intimate surroundings.

PARIS—S Cite de Paradis LONDON—72 Oxford Street . % v JEW ‘THJINGS FRO ~ THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. - T, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 5 1921_PART I ~ sent “home” by “home folk” sent abroad O very much could be said about these novel, original, these ex- ) clusive things—you find them here, picturesquely grouped in varied sections throughout the store—the gayety of Paris colors them with the same high reflections that pass across the mirrors of the Pre’Catelan on a glorious Autumn afternoon. Each -artistic creation, whether a gracile gown, a delicate perfume, a sparkling jewel, an exquisitely supple drape—bespeaks an imagination as ingenious as ever was nurtured on foreign soil — in a word, Europe has given us her best—her most alluring—and, we have made selections care- fully and surely, that we might bring to you only the best of things, always. R e AL PARIS FASHIONS ESPITE the fact that one might be the most versatile of linguists— would still speak for themselves—in - their own - inimitable ~ way, telling you of Jenny sleeves, Poiret’s vivid colors, hemlinés uneven, and Lanvin’s girdles. When designs are so affected by “national influ- ence,” borrowing their inspiration from Spain, China, Greece, and the peasant costumes of a dozen other countries, it is not difficult for gowns and wraps to become decidedly bizarre—and America, centers in the ex- clusive costume suit, by Patou, who uses our own navy-and American beauty in its design. d Embroidery is probably used more than anything else, but as almost everything in the kingdom is employed from patent leather to sealing wax—there is no lack of variety. French fingers use even fur, as embroid- ery, on‘a wonderful wrap with appliques of moleskin. Among all the fluctuating . modes, from dawn to candlelight — whether from Drecoll, Madeleine et Madeleirie, Renee, or Jenny, all of whom are represented in our fashions for WOMEN AND MISSES — this one sil- houette will stand out—a long waist, a slim skirt, an unusual sleeve, an irregular hemline—and above all, an odd, colorful, fascinating girdle. R 66Nt Paris it was, at the opera there,” the gay g Parisian in the gayest of Spanish shawls, with trailing silk fringe—sott falling of supple vel- vets—a gleam of color, a sparkling gem, from the jeweled comb, in an exquisitely coiffed head—slender hoops of pearl, with drops of jet dangling from madame’s pink tipped ears. Then a swirl of coq feathers —brilliant reds, blues and black—that is her fan. Is one thing lacking—no, for there is the faintest whiff of an exquisite, delicate fragrance from the tiny em- broidered linen square that madame carries to the opera. Famous Liberty labrics and Wares Liberty we may call the genii of the globe—for has he not plucked his gorgeous colorings from the splendorous plumage of wild birds—taken quaint, curious, fascinating motifs from . old Chinese pottery and Persian rugs. East and West have been searched for all that is original and artful—and marvel- ously and skillfully are they allied by Liberty into the most novel of fabrics, the most trifling of toys, the gorgeous Liberty satins, velvets, silks, and wonderful robes of soft siik plush. These are but a few of the things you may have which Liber- ty, London, has sent us.
