NICE March %. 1914.
In the new hats for spring there is
always marked tendency to carry up
the trimming very high, either by
means of a tuft Of feathers. which
soar straight up toward the sky like
miniature spires and steeples or else
by ribbon or velvet drapery. which
takes the form of a lofty wing al the
side.
Tall bows are cleverly draped and
wired to give never a hint of wiring,
and these seem inordinately popular
as trimmings for trst-season Mats.
All hats still incline to smallness.

PARIS. March %, 1914.
There is really strong feeling over
here of appreciation for the genuine
Turkish skirt
Mind you. there is gulf of differ
ence fixed between Turkish trousers
and a Turkish skirt Two such artis-
tic dressmakers as Cheruit and Cabot
have made both styles for the women
i'm Paris this spring. but Poiret ad-
vocates only the one style. which is
the Turkish skirt.
The idea is not new this spring with
him. for he has been making these
skirts for years without any follow
ing among fashionable women. But he
has insisted upon it each season until
il ceased TO alarm, and now it meets
with approval from many sources.
When it was first advocated our
dressing was more Puritan in aspect.
We were not imbued with the orient
and We had not seen hundreds of
women dancing in Persian costume at
smart balls. our ideas of costumery
were less elastic than now. and we had
the idea that the costumery of Mo-
hammedan countries was indecent.
But We have gone far in the last two
XearS-too far. the purists think. and
there are only the artists. some of
whom are also purists. who advocate
all that women haye-doHe sartorially
in the last three seasons.
In contrast to what we have worn.
this Turkish skirt is model of mod =
eSfN. II is only q Slorified bag with
"Uentngs at the side of the hem for the
feet. and around these openings is the
or4y Ornamentation allowed on the
skirt. 1t takes the form of arabesques
of gold or silver braid, a gold tassel.
or a gold star and crescent.

Turkish Skirts Versus Trousers.

The disapproval attached TO the Turk
ish skirt comes about through its con
fusion with the Turkish trousers in the
minds of those who have never seen
either one.
Turkish trousers are exactly what
their name implies; Il pair of panta-
looms. the fullucss of which reaches
from hips To ankles. The Turkish skirt
is a garment that entirely concrals the

line beginning with broad box pleat
in the middle back and front. and has
two openings which display only an
inch of each ankle. Even this inch
may be covered by high boot
In the hands of a master cutter the
Turkish skirt is exceptionally grace
full, for it is not too full and it is not
allowed to sag in an ugly line to the
feet, where it's two edges are sewed
together.
In comparison with all the different
varieties of skirts we have worn for
five years, this one is least objection
able from the point of view of the
moralist- The name is the only thing
one can cavil at.
Turkish Skirt in Street Suits.
There have been more Turkish skirts
made for the street than for the house.
The soft taffetas and gabardines and
golfines, which are the new fabrics,
lend themselves gracefully to the full
ness required by this skirt.
Two good-looking costumes at the
races We're of dull red in the shade
known as terra Gotta. and dark blue in
the popular shade known as ravens
wing. Both skirts were made after the
Turkish fashion with small slashes at
the ankle, outlined with soft colored
braiding.
The rather short coats were slightly
gathered to d turnover collar of black
satin, and their fullness hung well out
from waist and hips. They were short
er in front than in back and sloped
well away from collar TO hem. to show
Il full blouse of white muslin and a
straight waistcoat of white linen fas-
teued with dull gilt buttons.
BY the way, these full coats are in
good style for the spring. They have
something of the style of cape.

In Finest Chantilly.

great deal of black chantiily lace is
being worn. and likely to continue to be;
but it is of cobweb fineness. Nothing
like it has ever been made before. and
one has only to place a piece of this
modern dentelle side by side with the
very finest of the old weaves to realize
the difference. 1t is an aggravating con-
dition of affairs for those who are pos
sessed of heirlooms and stores. But
there is comfort in the reflection that
nothing lasts in the world of dress and
ere we know it we may be back among
the heavier laces. Certainly the latter
day chantilly will never live to be an
heirloom; 1t is far too ephemeral
1t is quite improbable, though. that the
coatee and bolero will entirely Inonopo-
lie the situation. Certainly older wom-
en- will see the advisability of considering
the greater elegance and suitability to
them of some longer coats that are max
ing tentative appearance. These also
hang quite free of the figure, and are
considerably deeper at the back than in
front; but the length is appreciable and
is frequently contrived " means of one
or two fiat yolants. Save for the sleeves
these could be likened to the mantles
worn during the early sixties
