Mile. Forzanne, q noted Partisan
beauty, has been trying to make gig
antic pierrot neck ruffles fashionable
again. Some years ago these runles
were exceedingly popular with Amer
lean women as well as with the Pari-
siennes, but since then they nave fall
len from favor. Now they seem like
ly to become fashionable again.
The great Lucille has created several
notable models in shot tulle and. as
I have said Mile. ForZanne has shown
how charming they look when franz
ing the face Of a beautiful ome
The pierrot ruffle of today is an i'm
mense affair; almost as imposing look
ing as the ruffles associated with the
name of the good Queen Bess. It Is
made of plain or shot tulle and 1t Is
fastened invisible; there T nc long
ends to give it a dowager air; 1t Is
smartness itself when worn by the
right ONE
Mile. Forzanne. who is still said to
be the prettiest women in Paris, IS
largely responsible for the revival of
black ostrich feathers for evening
wear in the hair. For several seasons
past feathers have not been worn in
the hair except by elderly ladies
Now they are quite the last word in
the world of fashion. and very high
black feathers are worn in this way,
much to the disgust of the men in
the seat behind. The battle Of the
matinee hat has been fought and won
but what of the battle Of the tower
be possible to induce ONE to re-
o an evening couture simply be-
cause someone at the back end is in
terferes with his or her view Of the
stage.
Already the subject has been tou
ched on in London and the Duchess
of Rutland, who is noted for her origi-
nal ideas on dress subjects. has invent
ed a special theatre headdress which
resembles an Eastern women's veil
and which consists of a broad band of
white silk fastened at close intervals
by gold ornaments. This band is
lightly wound around the head and
the result is distinctly original.
A famous millinery whose studio
vented a new flower which fifty be-
comes under the heading nightmare.
1t is a dreadful rose made of glossy
leather and it is tabled washable.
These roses are sai to be very suit
able for seaside hats. Personally, I
consider these washable roses, ex-
ceedingly inartistic. but I have al
ready seen them introduced on the
new sailor hats even on those COW
cred with white taffeta.. I have seer
black leather roses and others made
Of the same material in a. dull shade
of the tangerine orange. The curl
Gus part of the business is that these
impossible roses are framed in par
ticularly natural green leaves.
+ Some of the new and costly blouse
models are made of white indian mus
lin of cobweb texture, real Valen-
ciennes and motifs of Maltese lace.
One Of these models had loose fronts
which were crossed on the breast.
Tiny hand tucks appeared on the
transparent muslin, then there were
insertions and tucks were i%ncrusted
with effective motifs of Maltese lace.
The combination was exceedingly
attractive and the model was to be
worn ove a little u~nderbodice made
Of flesh p~inkchiffon. Such q blouse
would look beautiful If worn in con-
junction with the afternoon gown of
midnigh: blue taffeta or black charm
esu. The skirt would probably be
draped and there would certainly be
a picturesque coatee which would
show off the dainty blouse to per
lection.
Flesh pink chiffon is very much in
use in Paris as a lining for fine ling
erie blouses. The color is so deli
cate that it hardly suggests pink at
all. Nevertheless it throws put the
pattern of lace to perfection.
