THIN STUFF FOR
MILADYS gown
New Paris Fashion Will Make
Smart Woman Look Like
a Modern GaIatea
fBy Latest MALL

PARIS. - The tension is broken SO
far as the privileged few who are in
the confidence OF great Paris dress
makers are concerned, and some OF
them are already on ;aa way home
and in New York a little later viii
reveal the full secret OF the coming
modes to an eager feminine public
But J can anticipate all the essential
POINTS they will have to show.
Indications for the coming season
are even more radical changes than
vas supposed. Simplicity is the key
Iote of all the truly chic creations
In either drassmaking or millinery
and coupled with this, In an effort to
attain the highest degree OF physical
harmony, is the study of lines and
contours demanding a perceptive Inn
agination almost equal to that of a
sculptof.
The difference in result is that
every fashionable woman of tomor-
row viii be able to fancy herself a
modern Calatea. plus a very trifling
amount Of drapery. to whom the mod.
ern dress inventing Pygnalion has
impaired ultimate knowledge of her
cwn grace.
The new styles adapt themselves
to all personal heights. breadths and
thickness.
Every woman who puts herself in
the hands Of a competent dress art
list may henceforth be sure she is
making the best OF her physical quail
tiles. but in the hands of an incom-
petent all except the superlatiye

CLEARING out HOME in Spring

Did you ever look over your house
and wonder what was the matter with
IL? II is home, OF course, and the
dearest place in the world, but some
how you recognize that there is some
thing the trouble with the artistic ar
rangement Of the furnishings. Posi-
bly, you have been away for several
weeks In an entirely different atmos-
phere and you look at your home from
different standpoint, for you have
gotten out of the '.rut" of seeing the
same things every day, il does not
seem to suit you so well as IL did
Possibly you notice for the first
time that the vase in the corner is
too heavy for the pedestal on which
il stands, or the color does not har-
monte with that of the chair which
stands beside IT, Other things seem
to CRATE on your artistic sense and
you begin to study into it. II the
rooms are furnished as the majority
of rooms are, the first real cause of
this lack of artistic arrangement will
be found in the fact that there is too
much furniture, too many pictures, in
short, too much clutter We are en-.
tering an age of simplicity, the pen
dulum has swung SO far toward ex.
travagance In living, in dress, in fur
nishing that it must needs swing back
to the opposite direction and show
the beauties of the simple life.
Styles in dress are far simpler than
those of few seasons ago. Back to
the country" is a call that has been
needed by great numbers within the
last few years because of the desire
for the simple life which is so hard
to live amid the activities of the city.
Simplicity in home furnishings has
kept pace and there has been many
clearing-out time to rid homes of
the accumulation of years, articles
around which there was a sentiment
