Not that We in Paris ever have 4 chance
to view real summer clothes on account
of the cool summer, but those to be ear
ried to America for the season at fash
ionable resorts will be diaphanous, airy
and frilled. White or muslin frocks are
almost unheard of here, and all last sum-
mer there was scar cely a day one could
go without a jacket or wrap of some de-
scription. The best place to see real
summer things is in the Southern States
makers really do know how to make up
cotton goods and the Southern women do
know how to wea- them!
A good style that has been repeated for
spring is that of q corsase. the upper
part OF which is mousseline, or really the
entire corsage might be described as of
mousseline, with a pointed piece of silk
or satin over each side. The point was
very large q year ago; this spring It has
dwindled, but IL Is there, nevertheless.
A novelty IL the way OF wraps is the
short pelerine or cape that is made IN ta-
feta, satin or cloth. These little things
are quite sporty, yet deliciously femirine,
and are sure to be intensely stylish, for

women wore one of these wraps. The

PARIS SOCIETY SPLIT
OVER SLASHED SKIRT
Smart Set. Led by the Duchess de
Maille. Begins Lively Crusade
Among 400" of France.

Special Gable to The Washington Herald
Paris, March 2s.-The slashed skirt
has caused a serious split among the
400" of Paris. The exclusive set, led
by the Duchess de Maille, has formed
league and come out strongly this
week against gowns being slit even
an inch. On the other hand, the smart
set, headed by Duchess de la Roche
foucauld (nee MitchelD. has banded
together and is determined to adhere
10 the attractive fashion as long as it
lasts.
Reprisals so far have been confined
to a refusal of one group to invit.
members of the other to their social
functions. The Anti-Slash League has
appointed a paid secretary to assist
in the campaign. She said: 'Dignified
Frenchwomen have been patient long
enough, but now that the unbuttoned
slash is gaining by inches every week
we have decided to take action. We
are aiming at the abolition of the
skimpy corsages now worn. Blouses
are growing more like belts every day."
Rue Paix dressmakers merely laugh
at the new society movement.
The campaign is rather belated," !"
said Nine. Paquin. There are no
sIashed skirts in the latest spring
fashions, but the gowns have plenty
of width to allow freedom for dancing

Paris, March 27.-Cinnamon brown is
one of the best dyes of the year, like

An the new shirtwsists have the low,
rolling collar, and by the way the num-
ber Of plain waists is extraordinary. The

now on IL will give place to the sh rrter
cape. Narrow ruffles trim the edge Of
many OF these little capes.
The newest wrinkle for headdress is
that just at the summit of the coiffure
falls a shower of curls. This builds on a
story or two to the mass, but that is .ust
what the coiffeur and fashionable woman
want. In some cases the dressing ex-
tends a third of a yard above the top of
the head, and now, with the added adorn-
ment, ones head will be more elongated
still. 'Side-whiskers" in the form of
loose little curls in front of the ears are
fashionable and will remain SO during the
next months, since they have taken such
hold. The hair is but slightly waved
all over the head. Most of the foreheads
are high and plain, yet there are women
who always cling to a little fringe of
hair.

of this fact there will be in this country
more horses fit to race and the fields will
