LADY DUFF-GORDON, the fa
mou "Lucile" of London, and
foremost creator of fashions in the
world, writes each week the fashion ar
ticle for this newspaper, presenting all that
is iewest and best in styles for well-dressed
women.
Lady Duff-Cordon's Paris establish

i PINNING TOP" dresses some one said, see
ing the models of the gowns whose photo
graphs appear on this page. And I sap-
pose that it an apt description in one sense. It Is
the fulness at the top and the "clingingness" at the
bottom under certain poses that gives the effect.
The large picture is an evening gown, on the new
lines. The sumptuous se'ml-wrap is
of brocade trimmed with fox. The
train is a modification of the fish tall
The characteristic new large sash
and bow are seen in the back view.
The sash and bow are to figure
largely not only in the end season
dresses, but in Spring and Summer
gowns as welL In the little severely
plain walking dress the sasb falls
over the hip and ends in a tassel In
the little evening gown for a quite
young lady the sash is very marked.
The trimmings of ermine fur give a
distinctive touch to IU
The broad sashns are delightful, 1
think. One can ao so many pretty
and dainty and striking things with
them. I quite agree that there is a
danger in the over-accentuating of
any part of a dress, such as bow, a
aash, and so on. But it is danger
that gives us our most charming Im
pressions, so long as we do not fall
into any obvious trap.
Parasols are to be prettier than
ever this year. One 1 have seen
is a canopy of shimmering golden
tissue, quaintly three-cornered in
shape, and with a softening border
of closely curled black ostrich
feathers following all the curves of
the upturned fold of tissue wbicb
finishes It off at the edge.
It is even more unexpected to find
myriads of opalescent paillettes cir
cling round the .top of another sun
shade In which net and lace provide
a soft foil for all this ever-changing
brilliance. But there is more In the
way of real prettlness, as well as
novelty, to recommend a creation of
white 6llk, with full-blown deeply
crimson roses, massed together, four
deep, at the top, above three encir
cling frills of closely pleated black
tulle, the space between their final,
deeply Vandyked points being filled
in witn closely overlapping
cleverly shaded rose petals.
