Excessive Use Of Color Noted In Exhibits Of Paris Designers PARIS, Sept. 1--(AP)- -The first week of the fall fashions shows ended today, and professional observers from all parts of the world were in general agreement that Paris couturiers have regained most if not all of their prewar predominance in the field of designing. Lucien Lelong, Schiaparelli, Jacques Fath, Balenciaga, Paquin and Lanvin were among the important designers whose creations were exhibited during the first week. The dominant note this year is color, apparently splashed at random, but in fact used with an originality and daring technique never seen before.

Contrasting shades are the vogue. Yellow flames against steel-gray, with a touch of mauve. Bright hues such as nile green, lemon yellow, brown and biege are set against backgrounds of jet-black. Different shades of a single color were displayed so audaciously that one just stared- -and liked it. You would have to go back many years to find such a varying quantity of materials.

There were thick woolen fabrics, angora materials and silks, taffetas and satins, heavy brocades of incredible coloring. Beautiful velvets Homemaking Group Meets Home economics teachers of Arizona held their 16th annual state convention in Prescott last week and advocated co-operative planning which would use the facilities and resources of homes and communities in school homemaking courses.

Dresses are more feminine than ever. The results are seen in skirts so narrow walking up a flight of stairs becomes almost an exercise in agility. Many of the coats, in a style reminiscent of 1929, are buttonless. The motif carries over into the realm of hats. They frequently are very wide and so heavy that a hairpin will be necessary to hold them.

Feathers are popular. Thick plaits of hair are almost a prerequisite as a foundation for these hats. In terms of line, it is as though the great designers have thought of women as flowers with long. graceful terms. Materials are cut to fall in sweeping folds and drapes.

This is especially evident in cocktail party dresses. Genuine amazement was shown over some of these designs. Yokes are not where you expected to find them. Drapes Tall away and disappear, are caught in belts come out in sashes and puff-bows. They cling so tightly that you find yourself wondering how you would get into them.

Tempe Rainbow Girls Will Elect Officers TEMPE, Sept. 1 The assembly Order of Rainbow for Girls, will meet at 7:30 p.m. Monday in Masonic Hall for the first fall meeting.
