Novelties in Riviera Frocks Likely to Be

leaders of fashion who visit the Riviera
every spring have appeared at Monte
Carlo IN "Mannequin" toilets, that Is
TO say, in gowns copied from the wonder
full models displayed In this curious
little play. In the early part of each
spring we find dress play exploited In
Paris, There Is no exception to this
rule. And these dress plays have much
TO do with the final decision of the
smart world with regard to the "ligne"
OF the season.
Doueet has never been one Of the
sensational dressmakers of Paris. He
has always done a great deal Of work
for leading actresses. but his clients
have been those who have known how
to appreciate perfection Of detail rather
than startling effects. He has. for ex-
ample, always made frocks for Nine.

until recently for Mime. Rejane and
others of the same order.
For lie Mannsquin' Doucet created
several notable models. and these have

and panniers. When one finds two or
three influential dress artists striking
the same note 1t Is always worth while
to pay attention. for this note will
probably be the keynote OF the year
so far as dress 10 concerned. and accord
ing to Doucet. az in the case Of Worth,
this keynote may be expressed by the
word bunchy.
In fact this punched up 'ligne" Is
being carried so far that in some cases
the full skirt 10 itself invisibly stiffened
over the hips and made to stand out
like a cage. / do not mean anything
approaching crinoline, for these skirts
fall in about the feet in an exaggerated
way; I simply mean that 1t is becoming
more and more the fashion to enlarge
the appearance OF the hips.
One OF Doucet's "Mannequin' models.
intended for afternoon wear, was in
outline very like the first Worth gown
described in this article. Here also we
find the draped up skirt which displays
the feet freely, but which is neverthe-
less wide at the hem; here also we have
the frilled tunic which barely covers
the hips and which stands out at either
side in an aggressive manner. The
"ligne" of which I am now speaking is
not at all Persian, for these pannier
TUNES are almost always cVt up in
front in basque style. 1t Is a quite new
outline and one which has already found
favor with some Of the more important
society women in Paris
l have sketched this week two notable
models which will give my readers a
good idea of the fashions of tomorrow.
In each of these I have shown the
curious way in which pleated frills are
now being introduced in conjunction
with bunchy draperies Both these
models are made of taffeta.

Worth is showing a number of silk
skirts draped up in front over lace or

charming idea. The draperies are caught
up I'm such way that the feet are left
free, as In the case of a slit skirt. but
the pleated lace underdress supplies
deliciously feminine note which repre-
sente the spirit of the coming season.
Worth has always been famous for
his brocaded materials and for his en-
broideries. This season he really seems
to have surpassed himself in these d.
rections. Some Of the new brocaded
satins used by this firm for dinner
gowns are rarely lovely; for example, n

for a sheath robe which was cleverly
draped with silver tuile and dull blue
chiffon, the latter material being traced
over with cut Jet and heavily fringed.
Some of the new brocaded GAUGES used
by Worth are especially attractive gold,
silver and copper being mingled with
hand embroideries in floss silks. One of
the very new ideas Is to work over

On the other hand. powdered hair u
becoming more and more popular with
the leading Paris elegantes and It -
charming fashion. Powdered hair
when cleverly arranged is almost uni
versally becoming: but 1t must not Dc
pure white hair. The latter 10 only
suitable for old ladies. When young
and pretty women adopt powder and
patches they must do so with care and
after much consideration They must
realize where the pure white lock will
be most effective. where the naturally
darker hair ought to show and above all
what shade Of face powder should be
used at the sides OF the face. This
latter consideration is of great impor-
lance because 1t 10 the face powder. used
freely at either side. which brings the
white hair into line with the fresh
young skin.

r HAVE been studying some exclusive
novelties created by Worth for the
Riviera season and have been very
much struck by the insistence with
which, this artist strikes the note which
Fan only be adequately described by the
word bunchy.
On many of his more important
models. destined for afternoon and eve
aing wear he introduces very short full
aannier TUNES which have the effect of
making the hips seem unduly large. In
sarne cases these curious tunics are in
reality wide pleated frills: on others
hey are gathered Mt the hem in true
pannier fashion. One popularity which
il shared by all these tunics and pan
Hiers Is that they are exceedingly short;
they very rarely pass the hips.
Worth is using q great deal Of taffeta
his season: plain tafTeta of extra sup
pic texture and the same silk shot. and
In some cases printed with bold stencil

what is coming as well as what has
actually arrived.
In London several leading newspapers
have been discussing the pros and cons
OF blue and green hair. 1t has been
said that this fashion is simply idiotic:
1t has been said that ii is artistic and
inartistic. &c. AS a matter of fact this
idea Of wearing transformations of blue.
green or orange tints is purely Futurist.
Certain artists are of the opinion that
everything and anything may be worked
Into color scheme; that. for example.
certain costumes call for hair OF GER
tain. color: that in fact these costumes
would be quite spoiled II hair in any OF
the natural tints accompanied them.
This is a strange idea, but one can fol-
low il; whether one agrees with it is
Of course another matter. Still on these
lines it is possible to understand the
Introduction of blue or green hair
1t is also possible to realize that such
curious hair might give excellent eff
fects If seen In certain surroundings and
accompanied by special costumes. If
one could bring oneself to regard the
hair as an item In color scheme the
rest Is simple, for 1t is quite possible
that superb effects might be obtained
by using q black velvet curtain as
background for an emerald green head
dress and by placing the owner OF the
headdress on MARITIME couch covered
with purple and white brocade and in
Producing a table of carved ivory and q
suitable lamp shaded with opal silk 1t
is undoubtedly true that in such a case
the bright green hair would look very
much In the picture.
But then ordinary individuals are not
F'uturists; neither do they possess Fu-
turist salons. For this reason II for no
other ordinary persons ought to avoid
this particular fashion as they would
avoid the plague. Blue, green or
orange hair has never really been the
fashion in Periss and 1t never will DO
the fashion in the ordinary sense Of
the word. This fad has been started

This idea Of introducing large frlll
Just below the normal waist line is one
Of the novelties Of the present season.
We find the same idea applied to eve
ming gowns and In some cases to
nantes. These frills have the effect
of making the waist line abnormally
long. this also is a new notion and one
which is rapidly finding favor. In the
eyes Of the Parisiennes.
The figure to the right is also wearing
an afternoon gown made Of taffeta. In
this case the silken material Is plain and
In aseubtle shade of Parma violet. Here
again you will find draped skirt which
is so arranged that the hips seem I'M
duly large, while the folds of silk at the
hem almost mould the lower limbs. This
corsage also shows a very long waist
line and the corsage itself is extraor-
dinarly loose and unconventional.
Finely pieated friiis OF silk form a sort
of fichu over the shoulders and similar
frills are arranged on either side Of the
skirt over the hips
These latter frills do not cross the
front of the dress. 1t cannot be denied
that frills arranged in this way give a
peculiar appearance to the figure, but
it would be useless to deny that they
are going to be very fashionable.

SAYS COFFEE DRINKERS
HAVE REAL DRUG HABIT
Physician Declares Food value is Nil
and People Use 1t Only for
Stimulation.

That many people are slaves to tea
and coffee appears from statement
Of DIR. c. J. Douglass. Of Dorchester.
Mass. 'They do not distinguish the
difference between drugs and food in
their effect on the system.
There Is no substitute for an en-
shaving drug. When the effect Of one
dose has worn off, another dose Of the
same drug must be taken or discom-
tort follows, but II nutrition is want
ed, hundred different foods will
supply the demand with equally salts
factory results.
Tea and coffee are never taken be-
cause Of any small nutritive element
they may contain. Some drink them
in small quantities merely because the
taste is agreeable. or to wash down
solid food.
ION the other hand, if a sufficient
quantity Is habitually taken, so that
when they are discontinued, uncom-
Portable symptoms follow. then it is
evident that drug habit has been
formed.
IF. for example. a person habitu-
ally drinks so much coffee for break
fast that on omitting it he misses
something during the forenoon, he
may be set down as an excessive cof-
fee drinker. He is relying on the
stimulation Of the drug, caffeine, and
the daily use of any drug for such a
purpose is injurious"
