LATEST FROM FASHIONLAND. (By Yvonne Eodicr) Every other woman one meets along the boulevards seems to be following the line of least resistance. That is to say, she is making the easiest choice among the ensemble for town wear; a frocK of satin or of crepe de chine, with an accompanying coat, fulllength or tl ree-quarter, in similar fabric. And. nearly every other coat is # decorated with embroidery, stitchery de fantaisie. or fine soutache.

This little chapeau is seen with the coat frock and j afternoon dross while the soft felt j still holds its own in the realm of spcits clothes. There is a more and more dccidfc feeling for coloured accessories, all en suite. Into this category come shoes J in coloured leather or kid to match J scarf, hat, bag, or umbrella. In dis-
