LL collections are built around some favorite theme. It may be a theme cxpressed in color, line or fabric, but nevertheless the theme is the chief thou around which the collection as an en- semble Tevolves. Maybe you will per- ceive when the showing gets well un- der way that there is a prevalence of black and pink, or satin or angular i These dominant notes impress themselves subtly, not always being ob- vious, but they are all the more ei- fective for this half-concealment. My favorite theme, and one which forings distinction to this Winter's mil-| linery, is the combining of two con- ,trasting colors, and also two contrast- ing materials, so that the contrast of the colors is reinforced by the contrast | of the fabrics, making a double con-t trast. Finely worked fabrics and felts are, popular 1 now with a Parisienn clientele, and while technically models are finished when clients come to tr: these on, there is always some final individual touch put on to complete the adaptation to the hocad, which is never exactly like another head. These little touches naturally give the model a different character. I might take some detail from a hat to sut man, and add some deiail to the same model to suit another, while a third woman might look best in it with- out any change: so that if I start out with a collection of 40 hats, these come 200 or more on account of these 4ndividual adaptations. OU will notice among the most ** prominent characteristics of a col- lection a marked tendency to frame not only the face, but the entire head as well. There is a sculptural influence | here, and the manner in which many | of the new hats are molded to the head is strongly suggestive of the plas- tic arts. Smart prefer hanging definitely to one side, but with a slight tendency toward the front. Models such as toques and turbans fall Tight over the eyebrows This sort of snugness in Winter mil- linery is seasonal, and it is always wise for women, whenever possible, io ap- pear to have considered the climat> when choosing their dr It is not | always possible to tell exactly what the weather is going to be like several hours hence, so that you will have on | a raincoat when it begins to pour, but the fact remains that if you are in a| rainstorm, smartly dressed for the oc- casion, you will look smarter than the | woman not dressed for the rain who, gets caught in it. | However, women can prepare them- | selves for chilly, moderately cold, and | very cold weather, ahead of time, and | the tight-fitting hat, well molded to the head, will look smartest when the last-mentioned is expected. 1If it rains | You will be less mussed up; if the wind | blows you will be less inconvenienced thereby; if it is just biting cold, you will have the comfort that comes from keeping the warmest possible. * * | LORS are always important, of | course, and I have tried to make | these especially gay, which in Winter | is desirable.

Lucile Para: PARIS, December 10. ACH Winter, Paris takes on an especially festive air, when all the grand ladies return to town —for the smartest functions of the season. Many have linger- E spots away from Paris, but all are now back, and the stage is set for the an- nual panorama of elegance. It re- minds one of a theater on a gala night when royalty is expected, to see how the important social events are held up pending the arrival in Paris of the last of the elegants. - Meanwhile the public, like an impa- tient audience, figuratively begins to whistle and stamp in chorus. The newspapers {rankly state that the Duch So and So and Madame So and So are remaining away longer than the protocol of Parisian iteness pre- scribes ond everything is done to got them to the capiial the soonesi possi- ble, so that social happenings may be- gin_to unroll.

As usual, the faultless French taste revels in a thousand little details. those indescribable, often nameles: at- nots” that carry to all the corners of the globe the national fashicn fame ot France. Infinitely worked details have always been a characteristic of the | Paris frock, so that it is not only re- cently that these have been an impor- tant factor in style change. But these become increasingly important, so im- portant, in fact, that if you compare | sketches of this season’s models with last season’s and those from the sea- son before last, you will only differen- tiate between them by studying the details. To begin with lingerie, and what is called “vetements intimes’ (intimate garments) have been given more than the usual creative attention this season. Crepe de chine sets have given place to the chemise-maillot, or shirt-drawers, cut in fine silk jerseys colifichets, that mold the silhouette more finely, | producing a surer outline; corsets yieid place to corselets of unprecedented re- finement and chic. Made in satin, these should match the colors of the dress, or at least harmonize and correct the lines of the bust, while at the to become even more popular when the extreme Winter weather arrives. Beiges still occupy a noteworthy place in a collection, though they ar color, fabric and cut, with th> common denominator seemingly a_tendency to display the femi- nine back to the best advantage. Some of the designers cut their back decolletages square and narrow, others make them with straps down the cen- fer and both shoulder blades exposed. Still others favor the deep V. But, no matter what the cut, most of the new- cst gowns, no matter how differcnt their front_elevations, are open to the waist- line in the back, Chenel has seen fit to allow the be- holder to view these backs through of octacles as it were, by making diminutive jackets of rose-co.- ored tulle. which she displayed at her opening over backless gowns of biack velvet. These jackets have no fronts except just enough to hold the pleats that top the enormous puffed sleeves.
