 Voile Is again ultra smart, but the thinniest of voile of course. It really adapts itself beautifully to the plaited skirts a la corselet and the little short jackets. which are all the craze.
 They are showing al kinds of robes in embroidered muslin and batiste and a good many in English embroidery. which seems as popular as ever
 Everything to be smart this year must contain a bit of hand embroidery. Oh. forgot to say that here in Paris the empire style is all the rage. Ii Is even worn on the street. and l recently saw one charming short waisted pearl gray cloth dress al a reception It was slightly shirred across the bust and fastened with three jeweled buttons of great artistic beauty.
 I doubt if the empire modes ever oh- tain much vogue in America. We are too fond of showing the slender line of waist and hip.

 The school now to be built, hand some four-story structure, will repre- sent with the grounds an investment of $S0,00O. Other buildings will be added later, the present building being the nucleus of a $200.000 plant, in which the young men of Columbus will be prepared for useful trades and profess sions Tn the scope of instruction 1t will really approach a technologtcal university Columbus has so many manufacturing plants that the impor- tance of educating young men to be practical chemists, textile experts, etc, Is now so thoroughly recognized by the | school board that the present advanced | industrial school is the result.

 There Is strict law that only elgh- teen carat gold may be made into jew elry in France. The penalty for ignoring this law Is very great-a heavy fine and Imprisonment.

Nof Ahead of lis.

I really think. on the whole, we have remarkably good shops in America and we are thoroughly up to date in the matter of styles. There Is nothing newer here than the corselet skirt and the princess gown We have had both of those in America for the last year.
 We have worn long aigrets. just as they have in Paris, and elbow sleeves and long black kid gloves. Altogether, we are, If anything, ahead. for the rea- son that the majority of American wo- men adopt styles quicker than the ma jority of Frenchwomen do.
 When you come right down to 1t, the women you see in Paris around the stores shopping, etc. are not half so smart as the American women of the same class. That may surprise you, but it is so. Clothes mean a whole lot to the average American woman, and she understands how to wear them.
 There is one marked difference. how ever, which you notice on the street. The Frenchwoman wears the skirts of her tailor mades long. while the Ameri- can clings to the length that clears the ground. l suspect this is because Frenchwomen as a rule have not small feet, but 1t also is undoubtedly because cabs are so cheap they do not need to
