Fashions

Paris fashions, now interesting the women of the world, include some novel effects. In general embroidered materials and fur trimmings are `a la mode.

Gold brocade and gold embroidery are much in evidence. Bright colors and fur hems are also in vogue.

Tailormades still preserve the straight lines of last year. The coats are long and trimmed with fur, monkey hair or astrakhan. Suits are being made chiefly of mixed or jaspered repps, broadtails, jerseys, failles or velvets.

The straight beltless sheath is typical of coats and dresses. Flounces, of fur or chenille are being used effectively.

Afternoon gowns are being worn under long, straight coats trimmed by bands of mink, skunk, chinchilla and rabbit. Some are executed in duvetyn and gilded velvet with marked effect.
