OLD THINGS ARE
 BECOMING NEW

TNHERE has come over the designers a strong desire to copy old pictures. Evidence of this fact has been offered to the reporters Of dress for the last three months.
 Of course the copying of epochal fashions has been the mafnstay of great and small designers throughout the history of dress, barring the Tana.- gra period. But today this disposition Is interesting because the family album has evidently been taken for inspira- ton.
 With our modern ideas of artistic ef- feet in dress we shall have to work hard to convert the daguerreotype frock into something graceful but we diverting old styles to new uses that no one has any doubt as to the Amer fcanizing of any product.
 Every designer is trying a hand at repeating the fashions of 1870 and earlier in some form or other. The main idea filters through his or her individuality and comes out in an att tractfve shape. Whether or not this gracefulness will last under the in duence of an epoch that was noted for its ugliness is for time to prove. No prophet is great enough to forecast l that end.
 The pendulum has swung always from prudery to license in fashion as in morals, government, art and litera- ture. We have just passed through a period that needs no description, a period when everything was challenged, 1 including one's dearest beliefs, but dur ing that time much that was beautiful was reborn, and thereby women were assisted in their artistic education. l According to historical experience we are due for a recrudescence of prudery
 not only in dress, but in finance, in
 morals, in beliefs. It is foolish to say I that we have discarded too much that was supposed to be Fundamental ever
 to take it up again. What has been l can always be again.
 Old fashioned silks, stiff taffetas.
 s7 rigged muslins, grenadines, fai1Ies, ] >ands of black ve1vets, dounces with
 a gathered beading, scallops, basques tfastened in the front, demure bows of black ribbon attached with cameo l brooches, black slippers with white stockings, all indicate the trend of the new Paris fashions. which mean that we ourselves will take up these things later.
 If this is what we are going to wear 3these old wartime frocks in new war
 time days, why not get out the family
 album and copy the clothes of those tgay, grave women who did their duty
 through our own great war?

further, have you ever seen number of French models. really seen them close enough to examine all the little details that express the individuality of the designers?
 The models sent over this year are particularly charming and not as ec- centric as are those developed here in America from the French models. The imported models bear inspection. and one wonders, especially if one is an American, at the time expended in de- signing and execution For instance, a Drecoll gown carrying out the moyen age lines in black chiffon yelled a tight bodice of rose and gold brocade The high collar of chiffon, which buttoned up to the chin, had pointed turnovers

THE SEARCH FOR BEAUTY.

TTTILIZING the face mask as a means
 of beautifying the complexion has been in vogue for many years. Henry III. of France was vain enough to af- feet it in order to keep his skin fair. The face mask again, was a part of the beauty treatment that Marguerite de VaIois followed, and the celebrated Roman Empress Poppaea was another of it's votaries. It was smeared inside with a beauty giving cream and worn at night Not every woman however, cares to sleep in a mask. Nevertheless it is a much pleasanter cure than that adopted by Cleopatra, who bleached her skin by applying to her cheeks slices of raw meat.
