THE RETURN OF THE POCKET.

For the past six years women have suf-
fered the tortures of discomfort In dong
without pockets in Their gowns simply bs-
cause a famous Partisan modiste had said.
."rhey interfere with the hang of the
skirt and are most unbecoming."
No one who has not gone through the
agony of being obliged to carry every
thing in bags and large pocketbooks can
appreciate what It means to know that at
last Dame Fashion has decreed that
pockets may again be used.
They are now looked upon as sort of
fad and are worn by some women almost
timidly.
In the advanced London fashions pockets
are being put In nearly all the tailor-made
gowns These pockets are in the front OF
the gown over the right hip ana are made
with q Zap which buttons over.
They are only large enough to hold a
handkerchief comfortably. In evening gowns
they are put in the folds In the back of the
gown.
