JUST FOR THE WOMEN


1t is said that Partisan dressmakers
are racking their brains to invent an
original and distinctive balloon eos
tune, balloon ascension parties being
the latest fad in the French capital.
Just what kind of a costume would
recommend itself for an adventure of
that sort is doubtful, but it would GER
tainly have to be devoid of frills fand
voluminous draperies. The space in
the balloon car s very limited. The
atmosphere of the skies being anything
but balmy or dry, as a rule. one would
suppose tight-fitting waterproof coat
with fur storm collar would be sug-
gested.
In spite of the prejudice the Japa-
nese paper serviette is making head
way, and perhaps it would become
even more popular if it were not for
it's brilliant decoration, which rather
jars the taste of people who associate
the refinements of the table with spot
| less linen. But the paper handkerchief
continues the Hospital, has even great
err claims upon our appreciation. A
handkerchief which is merely an orna-
ment to lady's toilette is all very well.
but there is no innate daintiness about
the mouchoir and it's uses. The wash
ing one which has seen the service for
which it was intended is by no means
task for the fastidious, and with our
increasing knowledge of the spread of
disease it is question if it is not a
reasonable sanitary precaution that all
should be destroyed If that idea once
got into the public mind, the future of
the paper handkerchief should be as
sured. The paper mouchoir, which can
be burned when done with, appeals to
us of that score of economy, as well as
as that of convenience. The conven-
fence of them for travellers is obvious.
The new tight fitting costumes are
evidently here to stay for several sea-
sons. The loose blouse effect in front,
the short bolero with it's aceompani
ment of ruff1ed and draped bodice are
seen not at all in the new fashions.
The revival of the fitted jackets reveals
the interesting fact that the figure of
the modern woman has greatly i'm
proved. Compared with fashion plates
of twenty years ago the figure of today
is seen to have acquired beautiful
chest fine, strong shoulders, an almost
natural waist and smaller hips. This
is the figure most admired in France
except that the Frenchwoman's is

of the old curved front vise-like corset |
had much to do with the change, for !
whether corset wearing is approved or
deprecated, it can not be denied that in /
its present form most of the objections
against 1t have been removed. The |
shoulders are we'll thrown back and the
diaphragm is unobstructed giving the
under the old system. A
corseted woman in these days
is almost obliged to stand erect and to
throw her chest out. This attitude, ac-
cording to psychologists of the modern
school,, is conducive of an increased
feeling of self-respect. For once, then,
a turn of fashion may be regarded as
means of grace.

Lace collars are to be worn quite as
much during the coming season as in
be past, and already a few of the new
