WOMAN'S COLUMN

save for single safety strap OF
green beads over each shoulder. A
wired ruffle of tulle, finished with
beads, is worn around each elbow in
lieu of sleeves. In such attire, or
rather lack of it, even the loss of
one bead might prove disastrous.
The decollette for day wear, while
not quite such minus quantity is
nevertheless at a very low ebb. In
most instances, however, a thin layer
of tulle or lace fills in the gap where
discretion is the better part of fash
ion.
Beads are being blazoned forth ON
everything. Not the globular beads
of yore, but the tubular effects add
dash to tunics, scarfs and gown dra-
peries. Beaded wraps of diaphanous
chiffon are very popular and lovely;
and belts, buckles, slippers, stockings,
bandeaus and gloves are beaded law
ishly. The exquisite old fashioned
beaded bags and reticules once more
are all the rage, and even parasols
are indulging in an eruption of beads
like a spring rash. To bead or not to
bead is no longer the question. 1t has
been answered in the affirmative by
the mad rush of all things sartorial
to get bead on.

Brussels, March I27.-So shocked
was Queen Elizabeth at the scanti-
ness of attire worn by a number of
women at the last court ball that she
has persuaded King Albert to appoint
an official dress censor. This func-

lains, to be appointed today. has been
instructed to stand at the door at all
future court entertainments and re-
fuse admission to any woman whose
decollette is too deep or the split of
whose skirt is too high. Several of

jesty were slit to the knee while the

New York, March 27.-lt sure is
the open session for arms, necks and
ears. Having once thrown down the
gauntlet lovely woman seems loathe
to take it up again in spite of the
lures that the desperate glove max
ers are spreading to catch her fancy
and her hands.
Gloves stitched in brilliant hues and
embroidered in gold and silver thread,
gloves beaded and inset with motifs
and medallions of lace, gloves en-
crusted and buttoned with sparkling
semi-precious stones, and short gloves
cuffed in delicately tinted kid to
match their rainbow stitching all walt
their chance to slip on fair feminine
fingers.
The emancipation from kid glove
restraint, however, is all so new and
delightful that it promises to be some
time before they regain their erst-
while supremacy. Certainly nothing
could be more appropriate, prettier,
or more comfortable with the filmy
short sleeves of summer and evening
toilettes than the barred beauties OF
tapering fingers and well moulded
arms. Of course the tailored cos
tune always demands its short glove
of white or biscuit suede or doeskin,
and for those whose hands are not
up to all beauty standards the wrist
let ruffle of lace is the very newest
fad of fashion. 1t is merely deli
cate pleating of lace or chiffon which
clasps about the wrist with rib
hon or jeweled band, and falls over
the ungloved hand softly. yelling any
blemishes.
As for the ears, they are exposed.
shamelessly by the upward trend Of
tresses in the new coiffure effects. 1t
is indeed promising ivory thus laid
bare for the nesting of the coquet-
tish ear drop. Hoops are the newest
form they take. AS if Fashion, bent
on having them in some shape or
other, and despairing of taking us
by storm with the hoop skirt, had
resolved to take us by the ears in
stead, with hoop earrings.
The most popular are the jet and
onyx hoops hung within the other in
sets of two and three that sway and
jingle alluringly with the least toss
of a pretty head. Single hoops of
rhinestones or brilliants set in plat
mum also are very smart, particu-
larly under artificial light.
Antique shops are being invaded
by hordes of fair bargain hunters and
ransacked for the ornate long ear
drops of the Victorian period, while
Paris has sanctioned with enthusi-
asm the wearing of the close but
ton earrings of black or baroque with
street and tailored gowns. You SIM
ply must hang some sort of junk

you will look positively eerie
As far as the low necks go, and
some of them go the limit, it is often
case of going farther and barring
worse. Where modesty draws the line
is an unknown boundary to Fashion.
She draws the line only at the waist
line, it would seem in some instances.
Indeed, a daring evening gown
model makes no pretense at regu-
lation bodice whatever. The girdle Of
black velvet is slightly pointed up
over each bust and topped with a
crush of white tulle over flesh col
ored chiffon which passes under the
arms and over the bust in front and
is drawn well down to the waist line
in the back. This is all there is to it

done our best in the long drawn out battle. This is
the real battle Of 1917 { is now up to the voters.
We will work until the voting is over. If those. who

Legislature which will give to us the legislation for
which we hope, but if indifference prevails we will lose
even what we have. The situation is critical. We
are counting on you to make good.
