Paris launched a short bolero jacket in January. It is a square, loose garment with none of the trigness which it had in other years. Possibly it flares at the hem, possibly it does not. Its sleeves are square, slashed at back to show voluminous lace pleating.
By the way, pay attention to lace ruffles. We are not sufficiently aware of their importance as yet. They were revived suddenly. They may become too common to give pleasure, so it is wiser to wear them mow. They are put in wool, also silk and crepe de chine jackets. They are repeated at the collar. Possibly there's a jabot of Jace on the blouse - that goes under the bolero; for jabots are highly fashion-
LACES AGAIN, The extremists among French designers launched blouses and jackets in February with lace of neck which is a startling innovation. It means that the harsh line of plain cloth against the skin is to be discontinued.
Here's a trifle to remember about Jace ruffles in sleeves. They must -extend well up under the sleeve where there is a slashed opening at back through which they emerge. The edges of coat sleeves are ornamented with braid or embroidery.
