Present-day mil- Hinery, -he feels, requires a smooth, clean-cut line at the nape of the neck, and to realize the full extent of its chic the coiffure shouid have an up- ward sweep. e likes the enas tucked in in the fashion of the French roll, or, if the hair is kept too short for that, brushed upward in the same movement. There are, of course, individual adap- tations which are necessary, such as curling the ends of ths up-brushed hair for eertain types and for certain hats. But the effect of really smart milinery demands the “net” effect at the nape of the neck, which adds to the smart- ness of the new lines. Curls and puffs and complicatec hair dressing in general are for the evening, and that, in turn, must be in tune with the individual and her frock. Antoine finds wigs much. the most satistaztory for the more complicated evening , and as he does them they Jack nothing in naturalness, or in ap- pearing to be one's own hair. Often a row of what our grand- mothers liked to eall spit-curls frames the face, adding much to the illusion. ‘hen & wig 18 not worn, the same y?\u' own hair in its be of just the wearer's hair, this The simple draping of the gown above makes it interesting in a season of elabo- ration of lie.

With rwmi armholes they succeed in slen- de g the figure at the same time that they give a widened shoulder ef- fect. Some dresses have contrasting tops emphasized by a short jacket of the same material as the blouse and held in place by the same belt. For formal wear, both cocktail dress- es and simple dinner frocks use a | ally, and to saccompany certain cos- tumes pure white. Paris has quite taken to the wind- ilown bob, as created by Antoine, and | adopted by Mme. Agnes. This is severely simple, but he feels it quite in spirit with the times and manners. M. Eugene, of Jules et Etienne, on| the other hand, says that there is a general tendency to wear the hair longer in the neck, turned up in curls which are made sure by permanent waving, except in the rare cases where the hair has sufficlent natural curl. Occasional- 1y he feels that the little bun is becom- ing, though it would be impossible to find a Paris coiffeur who would un- reservedly sponsor long hair. It simply 1s not in the Paris fashion picture. Jules et Etlenne say that, outside of this increased length, every coiffure must be adapted to the individual face; that for each woman it is an individual study, dependent on her own features, and that it may not be decided as & general line. All sorts of lovely and elaborate gad- gets are returning to favor with the new hairdressings for evening. Combs of many varied kinds are popular, and | there are many lovely bands in toronet effects which supply the finishing touch of elegance to the coiffure for very for- mal occasions. o Government railways in Japan report decreasing passenger and freight reve- nues.

Boflm are now making their col- | | lections of mew shoes to comple- | ment the costumes which are to be | worn_this Fall. ‘While the shapes are not radically different, there is a de- cided change in materials, or rather of torials, and a interest in color or the more dress- makery feeling that has permeated the fashion world, it is difficult to say. But there it is. And, while the shoe de- signers vary in their individual points of view as to what will be the correct thing in footwear, they are uniform in their belief that we are going to see more brown shoes than we have for many a season, This expresses their belief in the netessity-of shoes match- ing the costumes, and their opinion as to the success of brown. However, they are all supplied with kid—a soft, pliable patent kid—and antelope, for street wear, in dark greens and dark reds, as well as in the more conventional browns and blacks. Hellstern believes that we will see many street shoes in variations of the oxford tie, and that this type of shoes will slide over for more formal after- noon wear, as evidenced by shoes with ially | material of the dress, whether it be !

Evening shoes show more m, but, according to Greco, must the velvet, crepe, satin or brocade. They are largely divided between the pump and the low-cut, one-strap sort, usually with cut-out effects.
