PARIS, February q, 1914.
~KIRTS are short and on street suits
are ended above the instep, almost
- at the ankle line.
Beads have lost little of their charm.
They are still strung together to form
tunics. In the French frock illustrated
double tunic of jet beads and rhine
stones Is draped over white satin skirt
Above this there is a little puffed pan
nier or tunic of satin. The bodice is no
more than a wide satin sash tied in big
butterfly bow in the back. The upper
points of the loops are held up to the
shoulders with strings of beads that
reach to the wide sash-bodice in front.
The ends of the sash are weighted down
with long tassels of the beads. The
sleeves of this interesting frock are long,
flaring over the hands. They are made
of white chiffon. A black fan completes
this black and white combination.
High linen collars that flare at the
sides are seen Oh mary of the new frocks.
The starched collar with the inch-wide
hem that has been seen for several
months Will probably remain in use
throughout the summertime collar with
the points that flare widely at each side
Of the throat.
Some Of the dressmtkers are showing
high organdv collars. But the V line III
the front Of the bodice is still the ac-
cepted line. and almost every woman will
welcome that fact gladly.

Waistcoats have not lost their hold on
fashion Many white uaistcoats were
seen at the French races. Some short bo-
lero coats with white waistcoats and lin
en- collars were most effective.
The white waistcoat was not the only
kind seen at Auteuil. There were also
colored waistcoats OF stripes and plaid

with small pockets.

process is simple. Scald the garments
in very weak borax water. let stand until
they can be squeezed out, then shake well
and lay them fiat upon the snow where
the sun can strike them all over. Leave
day or two, then turn over. Snow
bleaching is especially good for fine
things, such as laces and linens. With
freezing nights and sunny days it acts
like magic.
