To Bleach Gowns

If you have a faded cotton gown why not bleach it? Have ready large pan of water and put in a tablespoonful of cream of tartar to each quart of water. Put the dress in, and let it boil three hours, stir ring at intervals Then take the dress out, rinse in cold water, and hang in the open air to dry Faded cotton dresses may be dyed also, and if directions that are on patent dyes are followed closely, one can have a new dress. l send in this hint. for at this season of the year dresses come from the laundry faded only too often. l hope this may help some Cor nerite.

viii Paris Lose It's Way7
Will the war put an end to that inn
palpable export, women's styles?
While &c is probable that few actual
gowns will find their way from Paris
here this fall and winter, it does seem
likely that the redoubtable seven will
seek to maintain their valuable au.
thority here by sending a full set of
specifications, regulations and direc-
tons. Should Paris lose its weird in
duenDe this must become an unhappy,
straitened country. However, there
are other prospects. New York may
succeed in developing as Internally
complex brand of logic wherewith
to approach the work of creating wo-.
mems dress as Paris ever dared when
at its best. Or the American women
may do with their freedom what the.
American men did after the establish.
ment CT their independence Of London
-they may bring the subject Of dress
into the fold of serenity.

has had considerable experience with
the making of Paris gowns. 1t has
long been an open secret that not
everything which contains a Paris Ia
bel is made upon the Seine. Imita-

Quarter sizes are practically un.

ing to some arbitrary scale, and the
people are expected to fit themselves
to the clothes. Any iii starred Euro
pean who is betwixt and between the
standard sizes emigrates to the United
States for proper treatment or passes
his life in the undeserved obscurity of
misfit clothes. Still, during the last
few years, IL Is true, reform move

wonders in dispelling erroneous no.

American Independence a Fact.
II, therefore, seems fair to conclude
that the American man has little to
fear from an enforced independence of
the London fashion designers He has
been independent for many years, and
It now only remains for him to &C.

ton than that of an occasional French

To sum it up, it seems that the

On the other hand, it will be real
