Slatest in
i; FASHIONS,
Animated by animal motifs, tri-
angular sports scarfs are extremely
gay. Against striped backgrounds,
wild horses, elephants and other an-
imal themes are done in a number
of striking color schemes, foremost
among which are tan, brown, rose,
green and black.
Feathering their nests and their
toques for the coming season, French
milliners have again proven their
skill, for nothing could be more soft-
ly flattering than the snugly fit-
ting, little all-over feather hats that
frame the face so softly and are
flattering to all types of wearers.
Color For Fall
One of the predicted popular -col-
ors for autumn wear is a brown ca.l-
ed “cafe noir.” Especially suitable
for the cooler season, this tone is
excellent in woolens and in pile fab-
rics, and is certain to be flattering
to many complexions. The new felt
hats in cafe noir are alluring.
Another perfume shop just across
from the French White House,
makes a specialty of exquisite Rus-
sian perfume, the receipt for which
has been handed down from genera-
tion to generation of a princely
family.

Paris, France. —(INS)— To touch
bottom in one spot at least seems to
be the most general feature of the
summer dance frocks now seen at all
smart gatherings. And it is most
generally in the back that the touch-
ing is done.
There must be a floating panel, a
dropping scarf or merely a long dip
of the skirt which sweeps the floor
if one is chic at the dance. Often
there is a small cape or bolero at-
tached to the back and falling very
low at one point.
Jeanne Lanvin touches bottom at
the left side on a charming dance
frock in flowered mousseline with
the long girdle of plain red and a
little bolero cape for trimming. Lu-
cien Lelong puts the dip on the right
side of a white georgette.^ The tu-
nic and bolero are cut obliquely to
give to the front decollete as well.
On the shoulder there is a large
white chrysanthemum. Down imthe
back is Patou’s idea for a printed
muslin with incrusted tunics on the
* Another delightful dance dress in
black tulle is flecked with gold and
has two large flounces, one of them
floating to the floor in the back.
Another in Japan green silk has the
girdle tied in front. It holds the
floating cascade in the back.
‘Touch-wood” bracelets with car-
ved plaques of walnut or mahog-
any linked together with a gold com-
position continue to be smart. They
look well with the brown tweed
morning ensemble.
All sorts of little combs and pins
are appearing for wear with the
hair that is growing out. Some are
used to hold center-parted hair flat
over the ears. Others sweep the
hair back across the head and pm
in front of the right ear.

Subject,
Chief among the many practical
and delightful tennis garments
brought out for the fall season are
sleeveless dresses done for the most
part in white washable crepes and
sponsor box-pleated skirts and self-
piped neck and armholes. Many are
perfectly plain, with a pearl buckled
belt their only adornment, while
others feature amusing inset de-
signs or elaborate tucking, as does
the one pictured here.
There are flannel jackets to be
worn with these dresses—blazers
done in the best Oxford manner,
with brilliance the keynote. The
model sketched here is in a violet
and white striped flannel very
“pour le sport.” Other blazers spon-
sor white flannel importance with
vivid trimmings. Still others ap-
plique large flowers, for pockets,
onto dull felts and are thoroughly
lovely.
Socks rolled at the ankle are to
be worn over regular stockings—not
so much for comfort, we suspect, as
for style. They are flattering to the
ankle in flat shoes and look com-
pletely cunning and trim. They come
in beige, gray and white, many hav-
ing elaborately trimmed and colored
borders.
“Spanish geranium” is one of the
most popular perfumes this spring.
In it the mellow scent of rose ger-
naium is made more aromatic with
an odor like pachouli or cedar.
Cards in the Open
We all enjoy our game of bridge
on the porch during the warm
weather, but how often the unruly
breezes blow away the dummy
hand and cause great annoyance.
Elastics can be made for each side
of the table out of garter ribbon
elastic, and under the ribbon the
exposed hand can be placed, se-
cure from all tricky breezes. A col-
or may be chosen to correspond
with the card-table covers.
•o
irresistibly individual are the lat-
est pair of novelty glace kid slip- ,------ —
on gloves. In only one glove is there Mercedes General hospital,
a cuff decoration of an inset of a
darker color suede elaborately stud-
ded with crystal and green rhine-
stones. A little envelope-shaped
vanity case, of the darker suede,
has a rhinestone motif to match the
glove.

l Necklaces in round half-beads
I which lay flat around the neck are
worn not only with evening frocks
> but light afternoon ones as well.
There are some charming ones m
turquoise matrix and pale pink
which look like coral and earrings to
match. An Egyptian necklace comes
in triangular pieces of turquoise
with a tiny crystal bead between.
Necklets in irregular beads of blue
crystal with flat cylindrical beads m
black and white are very original.
They come in all the fashionable
shades and are very smart for sim-
ple morning wear.
Emeralds which are very popular
this year, are appearing in heavy
slave bracelets. Pendants of jade,
opal and onyx come in extremely
large sizes, almost like plaques. A
beautifully carved piece makes the
central and most important piece
which is encircled in onyx or enamel
in different designs.
Tailored blouses lean to plastron
and bosom front treatments, often
carried out in hemstitching or fa-
goting. Tuck-in styles are gaining
ground, and the link-fastened shirt
cuff continues important.

With the popularity of the black
and white combinations for tea
frocks, has come a revival of the
white kid glove. “Glove sophistica-
tion” is the effect created by these
white glazed kid gloves worn with a
black georgette frock made with a
tight bodice and a very full skrt.
The only trimming oh the dress is a
bit of white lace at the neck and at
the cuffs of the full sleeves. The
gloves are all white with some white
stitching on the cuffs. A large black
hat completes this simple yet ex-
tremely charming costume for an
afternoon tea.

As another distinction, its knitted
wool blouse is worn inside the skirt,
revealing through the deep opening
in the coat-front, a trim buckle at
a natural waistline.
A tweed design is carried out on
the blouse, completing the ensemble.
