It seems likely to last all through the winter. And the pity of It-is that already the shop windows are filled with imitation red- fox skins, worthless furs which have no meaning and which would make any costume look ordinary. This was. T the present moment there are of course, inevitable, but it is never two very prominent fashions gov theless deplorable. erning Paris. One of these is white hair. The other is red fox. Early last spring there was noticed the growing fashion of wearing pow dered hair. All through the summer season one saw the most wonderful, and often very beautiful, heads of sil ver hair at the op*ra and at the The ater des Champs EHysees, on Russian Ballet nights. The Parisiennes started this fash ion Then, almost immediately, it was taken up by women of other nations, •specially by American beauties. Now ft is the fashion to wear pow dered hair in the day time as well as by night. This does not mean pure white hair, such hair as one sees at a fancy dress ball. The powdered hair now so fashionable in Paris is. as a rule, quite dark in parts. It is obvious ly powdered at the sides and in front. The great drawback to this fashion ia this: Powdered hair makes con siderable demands upon one's toilet, and upon one's personality, generally. It seems to silently call for a special style of dress. It cannot be worn, suc cessfully. with "Just anything." In the evening these difficulties dis appear entirely, for modern evening gowns are so ornate and elaborate that they seem to harmonize, natural ly, with powder. As to the second "fad.” what can be said? Red fox skins have become ■biquitous in Paris. All through last summer, and autumn, the most ex clusive Parisian beauties were making sensational successes in white linen and satin sea-side costumes, accom panied by a brilliant red fox skin, in the shape of a flat tie. Skins or the ordinary red fox looked all right when adopted as an eccen tric “fad," by ultra smart women, and tn conjunction with fragile summer dresses; they look hopelessly common when adopted as a regular winter fur Model of White Souple fiatin.
