The eyes of the entire fashionâ€"conâ€" scicus world have been focussed on Paris during the recent summer openâ€" ings. The coronation, the Paris exhibiâ€" tion and the renewed presperity in America were expected to be factors Inâ€" the new collections. This exâ€" pectation has been fulfilled, and in very sage way. The couturiers undoubtâ€" edly felt that even with the enhanced interes?t in clothes this was hardly tne moment to propose radical changes in silhouette. While the collections offerâ€" ed no startling differences from the past season, fresh interpretations stress gay and brilliant colourings and feature unccunted differences in details. Fitted jackei suits, shown by the Fitted jackes suits, shown by the dozen in the summer collections, are destined for practical town wear. Often they are of checked woollen; sometimes the jacket alone is checked, the skirt Gay, Brilliant Colour in Parisian Fashions Coronation, Renewed Prosperity This Side the Atlantic Combine to Make Ensembles More Cheerful Than Ever 18 Pine Street North Timmins Flower Shop POTTED â€" PLANTS â€" Beautiful potted plants that lend an enchanting touch of colour.

Pencil stripes in gray and white are seen, and for very warm days there are naturel shantungs. Whatever the suit, it is invariably accompanied by a brightly coloured or printed blouse Jackets are made both witch and withâ€" cut revers. Their cleverly fashioned pockets give them distinction. Practically every house showed enâ€" sembles with dark frocks and jJackets in bright colcurs or prinm‘s. The jackets may ‘be short and fitted. Molyneux launched Gaugin pirk monotone tweed jlackets with oneâ€"piece flared dresses: they are fitted or of the box or swagâ€" ger type. These he makes in three lengthsâ€"hip, fingertip or threeâ€"quarter. Mairj:â€"ocher uses printed crepe for his swagger jackets; Alix likes them in plain madras. Our old friend the plaid finds a new interpretation in a fabric that Ilcoks in weave like a flat silk TIIE PORCUPINE ADVANCE. TIMMINS, ONTARIO Timmins as well as the poosl models," he conâ€" tinued. "The newest twoâ€"button ‘blouse‘ Norfolk with raised seams and patch pockets is very pepular. Patch pockets, by the way, are being shown even in conservative styles. Knife pleat, invertâ€" ed pleat and biâ€"swing backs take the lead. Sport sack coats with contrasting coloured treusers are also being shown a great deal. "The models in boy‘s coats show the raglan sleeves with 1lcose fitting and full flared skirt with drape back and slash pockets. + Worith mentioning are the flyâ€" front chesterfield coats now in the limelight." Sport Models to the Front in Men‘s Styles Hats and Ties Change Hats and ties have changed too, Mr. Severud pointed out. *"The Homburg or the roll l:zrim hat has also found its place among the leaders this year. The snap welted fedora is almost equally popular. Brims are slightly wider and several new shades have been introduced. "The most outstanding are the corâ€" onation stripes and coronation blues," said Earl Severud, advertising manager of Sam Bucovetsky Ltd. this week. "Probaiâ€"ly the most daring colours are used in men‘s clothing that have been used since preâ€"war days." There is a definite connection beâ€" tween wars, bright colcurs and military cut in clothes, Mr. Severud explained. As the nations of the world go on great armament building programmes and armies and navies are increased in strength, even those who design the styles are influencsed by the return to militarism and the trend is reflected in men‘s clothes. Basque and McGill Models "Pleated backs are predominant, with a strong tendency toward military cus.

That‘s the style story ‘for men this spring. There are plenty of new colours, weaves and patterns. At night the skirt emphasis manifests itself in the ruffles and flounces of the romantic type or in the draping and tucking of the slender. siren mcdeis. The coat of the summer collections, when it comes to daytime wear, is the redingscie. It may be severely tailored. relying for its interest on pockets and revers, or it may ks trimmed in dapper fashion by appliques unrelated in colâ€" cur and fabric. Skirt Interest Skirt dramatization is effected in many ways. Nor is its service confined to daytime; many ways have (:een ftound to give interest to evening skirts. Street frocks are frequently knife or box pleated, or they may be stitched in ridges to simulate pleatS:'again. they have hems of a contrasting colour. Even the skirts of coats are subjected to this new influence. Many are slit at the back s> that they fly open, reâ€" vealing wedgeâ€"shaped sections of thce gayly printed gowns under them. braid; Francevramant has worked this into a hipâ€"length swagger jacket worn with a frock of black crepe. ® Loose Jackets The loose jacket, which is so successâ€" fully urging itself back into prominence, is, as a rule, not exaggeratedly full nor is there any set limit for its length. It may stop at the hips or come to the fingertips. Such jackets gain an air of newness when they are of bright colâ€" curs contrasting with dark frocks. Francevranment turns a Cever trick in dressy ensembles of crepe. The frocks are printed in a large floral pattern which is repeated in bead embroidery on the coat; so perfectly is the motif copied that the ensemble gives the efâ€" fect at a distance ¢of being entirely printed. 44 9Â¥ Embroiderers are being kept busy in Paris, for many a house finds ways of decorating frocks and ensembles with their handiwork. Patou ingeniousiy emâ€" brciders only the skirt of an ensemble. His inspiration is derived from Beauâ€" vais patterns. The concéntration of inâ€" terest on the skirt, leaving ‘the bodice of the frock withcut ornamentation,. is among the distinctive features of the summer collecticns. For those who adhere to the simple straight lines of the more tailored mode, there are the clinging knitted slips, with straightâ€"hanging skirts. These are ideal under tailored suits, or sport togs. There are taffte‘a petticoats for afterâ€" noon and evening wear cut to fare just enough to aid in the graceful swing of dress skirts. These are ruffied at the ‘:ottom and come in many bright colâ€" ours. They give a dashing bit of conâ€" trast under the dark dress or suit, often chosen to match the coloured gloves or blouse worn. Smooth fitting chemise tops and pantie sets are also designed to give sleek lines to the figure. And the more erect carriage of women nowadays is helped by the correct, comfortaizle lines in undergarments. Even Lingerie is Changed This Year Rustle of Taffeta Petticoats to be Heard in the Land Again. Ruffles and lace give the new feminâ€" ine touch to lingerie of gleaming satin or smcoth crepe. Bias cuts and special gorings help mould the figure in the deâ€" sired long diaphragm, high bust lines. And to give the right "swing", these slip skirts are cut wide and filaring. "The new ties are made in gay, vivid colours to brighten the spring wardâ€" robe." With the rhythm and movement of dress design this year, it was inevitable that this swish and "swing" should be adapted to lingerie. And with the modes of 1911 competing with those of 1850 in present fashiors, no one is surâ€" prised to hear the rustle of taffeta pelâ€" ticcats again.
