She has been prominently! he most beautiful woman in Whatever her ideas on the Amer ican women's predeliction for shorl- klrts may be, there is no ques tion that Paris women, according Harper's Bazar experts, are di-Ided on the relative aesthetic merits ot bare knees. While dress makers are inclined to follow the Americans' lead and promise even shorter models for next season. their choice models for bathing costumes generally exaggerate to opposite tendency and. with exceptions offer long leg cov erings reaching to the kneecap.

The latest creations launched this week at Deauville Beach, or rather Inside thu Romnn baths as the weather never ceased pouring rain, were those of Patau. Jenny and Lelong. As noted by Harper's Bazaar exports and recorded by the Bazaar's photographers, gold and silver sequins appear to be the favorite trimming for sea bathing. Jenny launched a gold and silver sequin mode! in perfectly fitting ligvtre to the kneecap with additional anklets of similar material worn just above smart snakeskin Spoon sequins, which last year were conspicuous on evening gowns, are this summer used freely on bathing costumes instead. Patou's latest model is a silver imitation ot a semi-fitting Roman coat of mail, made principally with large scallops of silver cloth alternating with real shells.

A tiny aviator's cap completes the costume. Lelong confines himself with an elaboration of the Waikiki skirt made in a long silky fringe barely reaching the knee, and completed bv a brassiere embroidered with seed pearls.

Jnlv 25 rs the shirt waist man becoming extinct Or are tne summers milder? PossibH-the change in styles of summer dress has something to do with tbe passing of the gentlemen who were forever throwing theatres and restaurants into an uproar by insisting that they be allowed to take off their jackets. Todav the new tiopiral suits include a waistcoat and the materials aro so light that men scarcely feel the necessity of taking off their jackets.

The shirt-waist man was opposed on tbe principal that he usually revealed a soiled shirt or soiled sns- mnnagers of pub- at he was no decoration and damaged the prestige of tbe house.
