Show 1 LATEST PARIS T AS hTonF R A Coat and Skjrt of Covert Cloth. IT is an Interesting fact that the first fall Paris." models are imported unci often exhibited in New York early In'Juue, for, The manufacturers of ready made clothes must get the fashion Ideas far in advance ad-vance of the dressmaking establishments. So thcl resident Paris buyers ate commissioned to scour l that city to And the latest and most advanced fash- details, and as these people are experts who know almost intuitively the treucf fashion will take, their conjectures are often remarkably correct. These early importations are "Americanized" by the New York and Middle West designers, sometimes some-times into an artistic and charming simplicity, sometimes, some-times, alas! ruined by overtrimmlug. In a mistaken effort to give a lot for the money. Itut out of all these tentative efforts come, as with the Paris designer, de-signer, the successful models that become the fashion fash-ion from one end of the country to the other. So these three models illustrated here, sent over by the Paris representative of the Dry Goods Economist, Econ-omist, are fche latest creations from three of the leading master designers of the French capital and contain many ideas new to Xew York nnd Just at present the vogue In Paris. Take the upper left hand photograph of a Bechoff-Dnvid Bechoff-Dnvid tailored bult, made from covert cloth, so popular pop-ular a decade or so ago. The sklr.t Js pleated in the new tlat accordion style; the coat is on the late lines with overshoulder seam In front and seams from the armholes at the back, and has In addition a centre back seam ending In a shallow Inverted pleat. These three seams are crossed by a belt at the waist line. The new double rever is an attractive feature that might be used" on even n simpler model. j A Paquin model exhibiting many new style points (also Js shown. Made of light weight black broad- , cloth, It has a few pleats caught up In the back In an j Illusive reminder of fashions of the early 70's, de- j lined much more sharply In the third photograph. In the Paquin gown the draped pleats disappear uuder a wide separate panel, which has a box l pleated elect from the outstde pleated edges and I ends In a rather blunt point. Ill The belt Is a genuine novelty, made of patent leather, with two metal slides, which do not qnlte meet In front. This space Is filled In by a black satin LI sash, passing; under and through these slides, tying once nnd falling In long fringed ends. The deep one sldel yoke In front that ends In a collar In the bnck Is of uncommon cut. nnd the narrow flat satin fojds ( (used as embroidery over the hips are repeated on the back panel point. Gauzy batiste collar and cu Is delicately embroidered lighten this gown's somewhat some-what sombre coloring. That contrasting materials In tailored suits, both .morning and aftornoon types, will be continued as an ultra smart style through the fall and winter Is verified by the Martial &, Armand afternoon tailored suit. On very new and unusual lines, curiously reminiscent of the fair women of that opoch immortalized im-mortalized by the painter Alfred Stevens, the sil-ihouelte sil-ihouelte seems changed by the new corct lines. . A Waltcnu pleat Is added to the back of the tan The Saofe Passes Tfcrcagh the Metal Belt Slide. . 3 broadcloth coat and the black velvet skirt has, the drapery arranged so that It puffs out and makes the slanting centre back a continuous outward and downward line. This is broken only by a curved strap diverging from the lapped seam placed slightly slight-ly to the left. The strap fastens over the drapery with a large velvet button. The train ends In pointed point-ed fashion. In the high buttoned coat, its godct nnd basque bolero waist line bespeaks this old time style, which in spite of its frequent overelaboratlon had an indefinable air of elegance. In fashion revivals to be sure nothing comes bnck In just the same way. but every so many years the great designers in turning over the old fashion plates see an old style from a new and artistic and and often Improved angle Models are made and the fashionable public accepts after a firet gasp of SUr- fl J or the fashion dies from an imponal n JtM e . , KFH , rwu , in,-,-, , -, ,, mmm i ,. a,., i n ij iWH rr-vr ------ .A.f ..7!ftiit-JVr.'r K Decidedly New Lines.
