gary Of the Partisan designer is be-
ing exploited by the belle of Simp-
son Corners.
But to return to the wired tunic:
You know it Is a Paul Poiret crea-
ton and was designed for Ia Nina
ret" a show which has taken Paris
by storm. Soon Deauville took up
the style, and fashionable Americans,
among them the Duchess du Chaulnes
and Marguerite Shonts. wore evening
gowns similar to those worn by the
actresses In La Minaret"
The wired tunic became the rage
and its adoption has really changed
the silhouette of the fashionable wo-
man, for all the latest costumes, II
not showing a wired tunic, have the
drapery which swings out from the
waist like a bell, leaving the slim
skirt below, and the slim and droOp-
ing waist above.
I wonder who will be the FIRST to
adopt the wired tunic here? Several
of the fashionable Atlanta shops are
displaying the styles, and, of course
we will soon see some pretty girl
wearing a wired tunic. Then, l sup
pose, the mystery of how to sit down
with one on will be exploited.
" ND while on the subject of
~ French fashions and their
launching in Deauville, l am
reminded of a new bathing suit
which a recently returned traveller
describes to me as seen while she
was in Deauville. 1t was on a Sun
day morning, and even the people
there, accustomed as they are to
daring fashions, stood petrified while
a famous Russian actress passed
through their midst, en- route to the
embrace of the sea, clad in a cos
tune which nearly approached the
limit in women's clothes-that Tim
It" which is a mirage that appears
launched these days. The costume
of the Russian actress was thus de-
scribed: "a breech clout of dark
blue jersey which narrowed above
the waist line to slender straps that
went over the shoulders. Although
this was the only garment she wore,
she evidently felt that not enough
of her wonderful olive skin was ex-
posed for she slashed the sides of
her apparel and then laced 1t with
blue silk cords. On her feet were
white satin mules, and on her head
was the newest hat in black velvet
by Reboux. 1t was perched rakish-
ly over one eye and surmounted by
a hundred dollar paradise plume!'
/ doubt If even Atlantic City ever
catches up with that style!

through the first dance at East
Lake and he was leading the pref

on the cool veranda.

he asked.
NO" she replied, there are pleas
anter ways than being trampled to
death"
She does not care for threats of todr
Nor diplomatic interchange.
She has no special liking for
The paths that legislators range.

The publication lChich tCith care
Enables her in touch to be
With Mrs. PIunktOn'S SCeH affair.
She scarcely notes the rumors dire
That hOUer round affairs of state.
She's in a hurry to admire
The things that Mrs PEunktOn ate.
The courts toith careless glance She'U

She neUer heeds the baseball score.
She's eager to see all about
The clothes that Mrs. PIunktOn

" FRIEND Of mine tells me that the
~ something different" which l
have essayed to give the public
in lieu of the regulation society news
write-ups has attracted the attention
of confirmed advocates of the WON
ans page to the extent that many Of
them forget to read about Mrs. Punk
tons swell affair" You see, there
are really more interesting things in
life than to know what Mrs. Punk
ton wore." but the society writer's
bound by custom will not recognize
this fact.
However, l note that there are i'm
itations of meas Eva Tanguay
sings-which are appearing in vari-
Gus papers now, and soon it will be
the custom, suppose, to have some
thing different" in all the papers.
Then poor Polly will have to think up
another novelty in order to keep up
interest in her chatter
The most ambitious limitation Of
me" which has so far come to my
notice appears in a Chattanooga pa
per, under the heading OF THE Chat
terbox," and signed Polly Prim"
Now, really that is too close a copy
Of the original to be interesting in the
least. l should at least have found
a nom de plume 7ropriate to nv
city, in a way-for instance, Molly
McCauley!"
And l hear rumors Of other "ImI-
