HOW THE WORLD MODES ARE CREATED IN PARIS. ——« Perhaps most people would not express surprise why Paris models are so- expensive, if they knew how much pain and care, and what great expense are involved to create them. Each season, after the Paris dress and mantle makers have decided what will be' the the principal of each firm interviews the neads of their workrooms (who are practical men or women able to design and cut women's clothes) and gives'them an idea what will be the fashion next season. Some of these great firms, such as Paquin, Doncet, Deuillet, Worth, Beer, and Jenny would have fifteen to twenty workrooms. The designers then;retire to their workrooms .and each will make several designs ' according to their taste and thoughts, and although the models have to bo made to the standard taste of the firm, designers' models will differ to a certain extent. The models are then submitted to the head of the firm who also lias good taste, and a creative mind. If he is satisfied with them, they -are made up in some inexpensive material like. lino,, with all the different details designed on them. If the principal does not approve of them, they have to be remade, often several times, but when he is satisfied with the designs they are cut out from the material they are .intended 1 to be made in, and handed to the workers. While in the sewers' hands, they haye again to be submitted to the principal of the firm, and in many instances when a large amount of money and labour has been expended on them, they do not prove: successful, and are rejected. Eventually, when the models, of which there are in some cases anything from 50 to 100, are finished, they are shown to clients, and very often only a few are accepted. This is the reason why the Paris models, if bought at the beginning of the season, cost from £2O or upwards; and even, as much as £6O or £7O. and more. " In the past, only in isolated cases, could-a New Zealand lady wear one of these expensive Paris models ; but at the present, lime very many more ladies can obtain these models at very reasonable prices at Eugene Spitz and Co., Ltd. ' , . , _ . When Mr Spitz recently visited Paris and called on some of these model houses, he made arrangements with them to send from time to time, the designs of their models. This enables him to reproduce exactly, in his workroom, at a very much lower price, the exclusive models that are made at Paris. 6

THE SHINGLE HAIB CUT. The Shingle is vastly superior to the Buster Cut. It has the utility and freedom of "the Buster, but is more dressy, and from a short distance looks like a well-dressed head of hair. The Shingle will be the vogue this summer.
