TN one of my recent articles re.
joiced over the fact that picture
fashions are this season enjoying
a triumph.
The Parisienne has always remained
at heart - almost exaggerated)y
feminine. When she has worn man.
nish looking tailor mades she has done
so with a mischievous air which
seemed 70 say, What do you think
of this?" She, of all women. is capa-
bic of wedding things practical and
things feminine. In fact, she has al
ways done this, in spite of changing
fashions.
And the Parisienne reigns supreme
in her own home. of which she is so
Justly proud. Whether that home be
a great chateau in the country or a
modest house in Paris itself she rules
il with ease and understanding. In her
home the Parisenne is irresistible. and
in this respect, al least, sne 10 oil CA
ample worthy OF attention; for the
home is woman's kingdom.
I think that rest gowns were
created in England mean rest
gowns apart from tea gowns. l am
not sure that this supposition is cor
rect. but it is certain that the dainty
rest gown has taken possession OF the
Parisienne's affections. and that she
has made of it rarely lovely thing.
More Charming Than Ball Gown.
For example, the dainty little robe
which / have sketched this week. A
feminine, fascinating gown. in which a
pretty woman might receive her in
innate friends and in which she would
certainly look more charming than in
an elaborate ball gown. This rest
rown was designed by very famous
nortrait painter. who has been keenly
interested in the revival OF picture
fashions" and it was he who suggest

ed that it should be expressed in fox
glove tints.
The idea was poetic and the result
entirely satisfactory. The great dress
maker who created the robe told me
that she had received her inspiration
from cluster of foxglove stalks which
the painter had placed before her in
vase Of Venetian glass. The clinging
urderdress is in a peculiarly soft Ind
ian silk. pale foxglove pink in tone.
Then the softly draped tunic is in
printed gauze, which has black, white
and gray designs on foxglove mauve
ground.
Worn with Turkish Trousers.
The sash is in the same material as
the underdress, and the delicious little
boudoir cap is in pink and mauve chif-
fon, with soft bow of dull silver rib
bon. The robe is to be worn over
tricot ceinture and Turkish trousers
OF palest pink pongee.
Apropos of Turkish trousers, this
idea is again very popular. A prominent
and daring Partisan dressmaker is
trying hard to introduce long lace. one
which reaches almost to the ankles,
and which are there banded in with
ribbon. This is an extraordinary FASH
ion and one hard to understand. In
the middle of the last century our
grandmothers used, l think, to wear
garments Of this order, but not COM
posed of lace. Are we going to re-
vive the fashions of l850-so far as
our lingerie is concerned? ! hope not!
In speaking Of rest gowns ! must
not overlook the growing popularity
of the Persian coat in this connection.
/ do not mean the hoped Persian
tunic which was so popular a few
months ago, but the long, loose coat
worn by Persian men on smart ocea-
sions.

MISUNDERSTANDING battle of the Aisne
began.
One the one hand the allies re-
ported through the French war office
at Paris tonight that they not only
had checked the great German cavalry
charge thrust forward In the region
at Lille in an effort to outfiank the
thanking French column but had
driven back the German horse north
of Lille, fighting virtually to the Bel
gian border.
French Recapture Ground.
Further, the French announced they
had thwarted the wedge that General
Won Kluck was trying to drive through
the French thanking column in the
region Of Roye and Lens.
Admitting this wedge had been
hurled forward with such effort that
they were once forced to yield ground
to the Germans between Roye and
Chaulnes, the French reported they
had recaptured the territory
The allies also announced gains in
the center of the battle line, but gave
no details of their successes.
Germans Claim Success.
The report given out by the Ger
man general staff in Berlin said the
fighting on the German right wing
