WE have had Russian influ
ence for so long in both
suits and dresses that it is
something; of a relief to foci
that the French couturiers may
send us garments stamped with
the national lines, colors or
trimmings of some other coun
try. Japan and China are very
much in the limelight at pres
ent, and the possibilities are
that the Chinese colors and em
blems introduced in the fash
ionable garments of last season
will be intensified and made
more prominent and that with
these will be associated various
sartorial characteristics of the
little people of Nippon.
Always when China or Japan
contribute to sartorial things it
has been found appropriate to
borrow from other Oriental
countries. So we shall likely
have eolors and motifs from In
dia and Persia by way of adding
jreater charm and variety.
