1 Especial New Yory Fashion Letter to
Sank Centre Herald.)
New York, March 18th, 1914,
The French fashion invasion Of
America began year ago when
Worth made us a visit, apparently
with the object of finding out the ac-
taal requirements of the American
woman so as to be more in touch with
her practical needs. His visit was
marked by a conservative attitude and
lack of display typical of the great
house of Worth.
The second great couterier to fol-
low a.. Worth's example was Paul
Poiret, who came last fall, making the
more sensational appeal to the pub
Lie with moving pictures showing his
house in Paris and bis mannequins
wearing his creations. To these con-
ferences invitations were given and
there was no attempt at theatrical
display, rather it was voyage Of dis
covery in search of the American wo-
nam upon her native heath.

they were fastened by three closely
spaced bone buttons. The backs, cut
in one piece, had two fairly deep
pleats extending from the shoulder
to the waist, where the collar would
Roman and Awning-Striped Skirts

there had been one. At the waist
either several buttons or the band ex-
tended from the front held these two
pleats firmly in place; while below
this band, which did not extend
across the back at all, the double box
pleats fell freely to the knees in an
extremely graceful manner.
On these coats the collars were large
and rolling, giving the effect of a
b'own-up sailor collar, and extended
from shoulder to shoulder. Each collar
was plain, but several, placed on top
of the other, gave complicated ap-
pearance.
My second illustration shows Ro-
man striped and plain serge, which
together makes very striking cos
tune. This is a favored combination
of Poiret's, and for that reason very
popular with many women. 1t has
an added charm in suggesting how to
remodel a couple of last seasons
frocks into an effective and up-to-date
dress. The awning striped skirts also
promise great popularity.

No Use For Fresh Air.

Old time doctors had no faith in the
virtues of fresh air. Andrew Boorde
In his ''Compendyous Regiment or
Dietary Of Helth," published 1912,
writes: '"To bedward and also in the
morning use to have a fire in your
chamber, to waste and consume evil
vapours within the chamber, for the
breath of man may purify the air
within the chamber. In the night let
the windows Of your house. specially
Of your chamber. be closed, let your
nightcap be OF scarlet, and this, l do
advertise you, to cause to be made a
good thick quilt of cotton. or else Of

the covering Of it be of white fustian.

The Speaker.

1t was his power of protesting that
in the first place gave the speaker of
the British house of commons his
name. For the early members were
not great at oratory and soon realized
the desirability of choosing spokes-

age to argue with the king. Hence
came the title of speaker" which was
first given to Sir Thomas Hungerford

The majority of thin gowns show
a white foundation stamped at inter-
walls with Cubist design and the ed
ges bound with a bias fold, not more
than half an inch deep, matching in
color the tones of the design.
The waists of these sheer gowns
show the same tendency to be high in
front and low in back as shown in the
majority of Paquin models. Usually
they are treated behind in some fancy
manner, either a bow with tasseld
ends and wide loops, or some soft
draping that gives a not too pronoun-
ced sash effect. The front often has
two or three materials placed one on
top Of the other and each partly
showing. A sheer lace, or net, gives
the effect of an inner yoke touching
the skin, and another lace or layer of
chiffon separates the material of the
gown from this inner fabric.
The bewitching little gown which I
have used for my first illustration is
charming example of what Paquin
shows for the young girl. Chiffon fig
ured with a widely spread Cubist
rose design is the basic material over
white chiffon. The waist is short
without any girdle or sash, but finish
ed with narrow ruffle of the chiffon
as though the upper part of the skirt
was gathered to form it. The kimono
waist is most charmingly and girlish-
ly trimmed with bands, of gathered
white chiffon edged with frills Of net
on the shoulder, while the front of
the waist is often of chiffon shirred
several times and held in place by a
narrow black velvet ribbon and frill
of net at each shirring. The charming
little hat so suited to the young girl
is of blue horsehair braid, trimmed
with pink roses.
A straight piece of charmeuse was
well arranged on, one of the models.
The straight of the thread was placed
at the front over the bust. It was SLIT
up and the ends tied behind in a
rather decorative sash, while the
pointed edges of the slit at the waist
were finished to simulate the points
of a Waistcoat.
The materials used for three stun
ming tailored suits were surprisingly
simple. One was developed in black
and white shepherds plaid, the second
in sage-green serge, and the third in
dark-blue mohair, with wide stripe
composed of small stripes of alter
mating red and yellow and green.
The skirts of these suits were plain
with inserted pleats at each side be-
low the knee, the plaid of the skirt
was cut on the bias, and the inserted
pleats had a Kppling uneven effect
at the skirts bottom. The striped mo-
hair had the side pleats treated diff
ferently; between each wide stripe
the center Of the dark stripe was
slashed for an inserted pleat and
bound narrowly with red. These
pleats were Of uneven length; that is
the center pleat extended higher than

the pleat, front and back, by at least
four or five inches.
The coats showed the influence Of
the empire and directoire collars mo-
dified BY Japanese tendencies. The
sleeves were usually set in loose, so
they gave the impression Of kimono
sleeves. The fronts were short, com
ing to point over the bust, where

The interest aroused by M. Poiret
wss further accentuated and focused
on Madame Poiret, who wore gowns
grace and charm, typical Of n. Poir-
cts creative genius. In almost every
instance, his gowns showed a loose
wasted effect that gave ample play
20 every muscle of the body. The
wonderful fabrics and combinations
Of colors proved the originality for
which Poiret alone is master. His
gowns are often impractical, bat full
of inspiration, and have done much
towards the awakening of originality
and creative quality in the great
French houses.
Following the example of these two
leaders of fashions, the House of
Paquin has now brought to this
country an exhibit of gowns on man
nequins for which one must pay adj
mission!
As each courturier has a strong
tendency toward some Individual
style, SO in the Paquin gowns certain
tendencies are strongly marked, no.
ticeably the lack Of hustle effect and
the long straight lines of the back.
The collars of the coats and blouses
fall well away from the neck and
stand out with continuation of the
rolled effect of the japanese collar
often carried out in more than one
collar; such as a striped silk collar
oyer large plain-colored collar, with

white organdy.

is rarely straight among these Paquin
models. Often it is scalloped, at times

Antiquity Of Naaaing.

No, If you are nagged You are not
alone in your experience. Nor are the
nagged persons Of this age the only
nagged persons Of any age. Nagging
is an old custom. They tell us that
Adam, Job. Socrates, Aesop, Leonidas.
Machiavelli and many more distin-
guished historical personages were vic
Tins Of nagging. This proves the an
tiquity but not the wisdom or the
responsibility of nagging. And If it
is as old as it is claimed to be let it
crawl away somewhere to die. For
come to think of it, nagging is just
as hurtful to the naggerS as it is to the
nagged. So why .injure ourselves fer
the purpose of injurying some one else ?
