they had enough and more to give

The baseball season H. now less

feet OF the new leagues debut has been
felt. Teams that were looked upon in
the winter as sure winners of pennants
in their respective leagues. according
to all the Laws OF dope and form that
is, have been shot to pieces by the
raids the newcomers made ON their
playing forces. The American
League was less hard hit than the
older body. This. perhaps, may ac-

In Paris, too, the influence of the
ancient kings who made powerful
and honored positions for their mis-
tresses is still felt and the women of
the demi monde are notable figures
seen everywhere. These women
must perforce draw attention to-
themselves by elaborate gowns, and
so il is true that the Fashionable
Parisiennc wears the frocl<s of today,
the demi mondaine wear the frocks OF
tomorrow, while the dressrnakers are
planning those for next week and
American women are wearing those
of last month
OF course everyone knows that
wars and rumors of wars, great court
events and all such things have their
influence upon fashions, but princi-
pally because Partisan designers are
clever enough to snatch the fad or
the great and burning question of the
moment and incorporate it into
gown that has the double charm of
being new fashion and one that 10

laces actually carrying but their ar
tistic dream in solid fabrics.
1t is said that the wired tunic now
so popular was conceived by noted
designer as he watched the soft chif-

was arrived at by the sight of the
bunchy effect of girls mussed sash,
bringing ont, as it did, the slender

contrast.
SO these artists GO about, seeing
possibilities, in the flowers of a for
lists shop, in the boyish corduroy
costumes of a passing school lad, in
the glory of a bit of Chinese porce-
lain or the sinuous grace of some Or
ientaI tapestry, and all these are later
embodied into the fashions that we
must don, or-be behind the times.
But in Paris there is in addition to
all this a subtle atmosphere Or
