'-> ImßmßM^H^^^^*"" n^wnior'l'toilMTllll^rTitlirPT I .-■.•-■■■''■-■,". FORMALLY OPEN PARIS CLOAK AND SUIT HOUSE Management of Establishment Follows Ideas of More Ex clusive French Shops Under a great floral emblem of good luck, the Indian "Swastika," built of glowing yellow chrysanthemums and tied with a broad purple ribbon bear- Ing the pleasant augury, "success," the Paris Cloak and Suit House was formally opened to tho public yester day. This symbol of good fortune was doubly valued by the heads of tho store, Wilson P. Smith, W. H. Ho« --kins and J. S. Peters because it was sent by the employees of the store, about a score of whom have been con nected with Mr. Smith in his previous business enterprises In this city. The idea of the management in es tablishing this now place was that fol lowed by the hil c exclusive Paris shops, which are almost homelike in their conveniences, and their sugges tion ol' comfort. The main floor is devoted to the hats, gloves, veils, perfumes, jewflls and other things which women need con stantly, and In which the latest fash lon i.s important. The floor space is so arranged that there is little formal ity. Articles are displayed in an at tractive manner, many of them upon small tables, and there Is ample room near the entrance for the telephone table, and some comfortable rocking chairs which will prove a frequent refugo to the tired shoppers. Another feature which is novel. Is the tiny tea room where the refresh ing cup will be served to all visitors during the tea hour. This little re treat is placed in the bale ony overlook- Ing the main floor, and is just off the women's sitting room. Rich mahogany tables, comfortable chairs and lounges will make this room a popular place, and the ever needed telephones 'will be found here as well as on the main floor. The suits and costumes, features for which this shop will be particularly noted, are to be found on the second floor. Tailored suits from the best American and English models are shown in all stylos, and among the costumes are some of the most ef fective combinations of design and ma terial seen on this coast. Callot, Beer, Paquin, Cheriot, Jean Halle, Poret, in fact all the names to conjure with, are represented in the stock of dinner, theater and evening gowns which are to be seen in the dainty little "French" room. Reason able prices prevail here, and many gowns of beautiful style and exquis ite workmanship are to be seen at prices which are surprisingly low. One costume exhibited in the win dow yesterday was a Callot model of pale yellow net and chiffon. This was heavily embroidered In coral jewels and beads, and was over an overdress in which the pale yellow coral shades were repeated. Novelties in headdresses and mag nificent hats anil furs will appeal to the woman shopper who is looking only for the trifles of her toilette, and jew eled pins, rings and other feminine fancies are to be seen here in the latest device. One of the handsomest of the gowns shown yesterday was from Madame Cheriot and combines the present ac cepted fashions with a spice of nov elty that is sure to attract the dis criminating buyer. It is of black satin with an overdress of velvet. The bod ice is in a draped effect with loose sleeves of black chiffon closely era broidored with tiny white and red beads. The skirt has a tunic overdress caught together at one side with ft knot in which the beads are utilized to form a buckle and the satin forms the long trained uiulerslip. A touch of red chiffon and more of the bead em broidery outlines the neck which is in the prevailing- low fashion. A gown in which simplicity of work manship results in the most chic lines is created of gray and red changeable, silk grenadine. This is cut with a knee length tunic and baby waist both slightly gathered and finished at neck and waist with a beautiful, heavy braiding of gold cord. The frock is from Jean Halle and has a long trained underslip of cherry panne satin. Coats are of every weight, and range in style from the extreme white flud rose color for the polo habituos to the moat elaborately embroideied, fur lined and trimmed evening creations. The plain tailored garments, as usual in great demand for certain uses, but women who find severe lines of the accepted tailor model unbecoming will hail with delight these more individual suggestions to be found in coats and cloaks in materials suitable for street, shopping and calling use.

Of course, it must be an attractive feature. Art In costum ing does not emphasize any but the good points in the feminine face and figure. The others have to be dressed down. For instance, a too-prominent nose, eyes that squint or a mouth of too ample proportions may be subdued and the other features given prom? inence. "We must have individuality in dress. There is far too much dressing alike here in New York. And for individual ity there is nothing better than the study of the silhouette.
