TAFFETA FROCKS AND ROSETTES.
BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE.

Special Correspondence Of The star.
NEW YORK. May 13.-The taffeta
frock has won it's way and finds a
place in every woman's wardrobe.
Her very formal gowns may be made
of other materials. but afternoon frocks
or those for restaurant wear or for
informal dancing seem TO be made. IN

so well, and adapts itself so readily
to the houffant skirts and tight bodices
which these garments demand
White taffeta is the latest idea for
such "a froCk. and the sketch today
shows Il new method of trimming 1t.
Evenly spaced about the tlarinG skirt
and quantity placed upon the bodice
are large roscttcs of taffeta in pale
and subdued but unnistakable tri-
color shades.
1t is true that the rcd would not
excite the most susceptible here, and
that the blue is too pastellthe to APP
pear in any flag, but the combination
spells revolution Just the same. and
suggests the time when the choice IF
coiors for such a rosette was ticklish

because there is a line of silver buttons
that mark the top of II. At the arm
sides the sleeves are very wide, and cut
in one with the blouse. They are fitted
below the elbow. and given pretty cuffs

To the top is applied a shaped piece
of blue satin that runs up into a point

buttoned on, where its upper edge is

satin shows in the spaces between tho

BY LILLIAN E. YOUNG.

Because II divides it's times between
tho cleaning establishment and your
own, a white serge dress is considered
a luxury, but II is one which gives SO
much satisfaction and real service that
its drawbacks are quite overbalanced
by it's advantages. Especially at the
seashore and mountain resorts are white
serge dresses modish and in great de-
mand. Nothing seems quite so smart
for afternoon wear on the cooler days
OF summer.
There is a marked tendency to drape
few of the newest models. and for
trimming much machine stitching IL
used in a colored thread. In black and
white effects this method of trimming
is especially attractive.
There is nothing trite or ordinary
about the dress design sketched here
with. 1t expresses novelty in every
line. yet retains conservatism. Made
up in white serge and navy blue satin
it can be prettily trimmed with dull

bow knot running almost the entire
length of the sachet. A dainty ribbon
rose holds the center of the bow.
1t will be very easy to find out the
quantities of the respective materials
needed by taking measurements from
the average bureau. Tie tape in bow
knots before buying the ribbon to see
just how much will be required. A
good quality of gauze ribbon is never
cheap.
Should a number of friends wish to
contribute, the gift could be increased
by the addition of a foot rug for a bed
room or boudoir sofa. This is made ex-
actly like the bureau sachets. except
that more filling is used-so that it will
he warm and pufy-and it is cut
square instead of long. Forty-flve by
forty five inches is good size.
The lace and the gauze ribbon should
be wider in proportion to that used for
the Sachcts, of course.

First From Poiret.

The first suggestion of it came with
so many other ''tirsts' from Poiret, one
of whose famous models wore two
seasons ago a black velvet basque,
scanned to fit her slcnderness, and cut
into square tabs. with round neck
filled in with q transparent tucker, and
transparent white sleeves A black ana
white skirt boldly checkered completed
the costume which had been especially
designed for her.
Here ii reappears again. with crisp
little ruiHeS of taffeta. and the wide
sleeve of civil war times. made of thln
chiffon, which is feature of many OF
the latest models.
The very fun skirt is cut to stand
far out from the figure, and, of course,
the material helps this effect. Where
a less adaptable fabric is used. softer
silk, or a thin textile, the skirt is very
frankly stiffened into form by wires,
or strips of whalebone.
But that is a crlnoline. you ex-
claim. And a crinoIine of sorts it GER

Won Looks of Horror.

We are told that it was looked upon
with horror by the fashionables at the
French court, when the ladies in at
tendance upon Louis XIV's prim little
Spanish bride introduced it to the
belle DANES of Paris.
1t is true that the farthingale, as the
crinolne was then called. has enjoyed
French favor under the rule of Cathe-
rine de Medici, but it's proportions had
been but modest in comparison with
the enormous oval affair adopted by
the companions of the little Infanta
Maria Theresa.
We are told that one of the ladies,
the infantas governess. was designated
"a monster" for wearing what were
called barrels" under her skirts.
Scoff as they might, the Parisians
soon fell into line, and wore farthin
gales of such vast dimensions that we
are told. in a cotemporary memoir,
only long-armed ladies could have their
hands kissed by the cavaliers, as it
was impossible to reach the fingers Of
a short-armed one, owing to the i'm
mense circumference of her petticoats,
All of which goes to prove that. as
we are probably grown no wiser than
our forbears. if the great ones choose
to stiffen their skirts with wires and
whalebone, the little ones will newt
ably follow suit, protest they ever SO
loudly.

FOR BLUE SKY LAW
Senate Passes Price Bill. Re-
moving Weakest Features.
No Danger Now of Declaration
of UncOnstitutionality.

The senate today passed the Price
bill revising the Kansas blue sky law
and removing from the existing law
the features against which the occa-
siona1 charge of unconstitutionality
has been made. The bill as passed
today was drawn in the Kansas bank
commissioners department where the
blue sky legislation which put Kansas
in the lead of the rest of the country
in the protection of investors from
worthless investment offerings. first
originated.
Most of the old law is incorporated
in the new bill by Senator Price of
Greenwood county. and none of its
effectiveness has been removed by the
withdra wal of the provisions of the
old measure that were alleged to be
shaky. The Kansas law has served
the purpose for which IL was intend
ed through number of years without
ever having actually been carried to
the highest courts on q test case. In
drafting the revised bill the experience
of number of other states has been
drawn upon and is equipped with the
additional safeguard that in the event
the courts should hold that any sec
ton is unconstitutional, such A decI-
sion may not affect the validity of the
entire act.

LONG BATTLE ENDS.
1t Has Been in Progress Since Feb. Il
in Champagne.

Berlin March 1O.-The following
state nent has been issued at the war
office:
with the battle of today and those
of the last few days the winter battle
in Champagne has come to IN end and
no future events can change anything
IN the situation. The battle began, as
reported on the nth of February, at
the order of the French general staff
to break through at any cost so as to
bring relief to the hard pressed Rus
SLAMS in the MazUrian lakes region
This shows that the intention of
the enemy of breaking through and
the orders of the French general staff
were not able to be carried out and
they have obtained only the smallest
advances which are not worthy of
mention.
I'VE have taken more than 2,54O
wounded prisoners, including 80 Of
ficers. Naturally our losses We're
heavy but such sacrifices were not in
vain. The enemys losses were at least
three times as heavy as ours. and are
estimated at 5000 in Champagne.
