Special Correspondence Of The star.
NEW YORK. December 29.-There is
no way of getting away from the in
huence Of the Paris fashion fete, which
was held in New York recently, at
which the Paris designers showed their
new creations without the aid of a
niddleman. In fact, there - no reason
TO get away from the influence of this
fete, because it is felt all through
dressmaking circles.
1t cleared the air of ominous mutter-
ings; it charged it with electricity. and
every one can see the horizon clearly
Until the 1st of March there is no
reason to worry about fashions. Every
one may speculate to her hearts con-
tent, and as speculation is always in
teresting there is no reason TO discour-
age it,
Apart from the minor things that
tablished, there were certain definite
movements toward new things that
have been followed by all the Ameri-
can dressmakers. One of these was
the crystallization of the idea of the
farthingale. The designers have pic
turesquely termed this movement
toward Spanish fashion, and, as in all
things. the giving of a name aids the
promotion of style.
The French designers were clever
enough TO name their gowns Goya and
VelasQuez, and those who managed the
fete were subtle enough to see the ad-
vantage of grouping them portraits,
thus composing the idea into a strong
presentation.
! In just such pictorial mounting lies
the success of many ideas, for the pub
hc likes name. and wants to know
what it is doing in the way of fashion.
To Jeanne Lanvin. Worth and Poiret
goes the credit for this piece Of work
They made their Spanish gowns COM
pleGe in every detail. and by so doing
started all kinds of minor fashions,

Furs in a Prehistoric Way.

l started out to tell you about the
new ways of wearing fur, but stepped
down the pleasant primrose path of
speculating on Spanish fashions. build
ing Spanish fashions in the air, as it
were. The only novelty in the way of
furs that was introduced at the fete
was the manner in which a whole fox
vas slung across the shoulders. There
vas a peculiar absence, as far as the
.fench were concerned, of fur pieces
Tor the neck. There were no coat suits
SHOWN. and therefore there was a
marked absence of fur trimming also.
The fur capes We're magnificent, but
they were not unique. Muffs were not
exploited and even short fur capes
were lacking. There was an ominous
feellng in the audience that Paris was
tired of fur, and it is time that Amer
lea was bit wearied of peltry also
Even Lanvin ceased to trim her house
gowns with fur, and Poiret substituted
snort, uncurled ostrich feathers as a
trimming for cloth edges
The striking novelty. therefore, was
in the immense fur piece which was
worn in the manner shown in the
sketch; 1t was combined of ermine and
gray fox and was worn by the young
actress who played the part of Fran
co.'s, and not by any of the manikins
1t went farther back than the fashions
Of Goya and the renaissance; 1t was
prehistoric. Lacking it's artistry, the
first Britons may have worn the skins
of beasts in this manner The skin of
the animal was used entirely; it was
slung across the shoulder, with it's head
on one shoulder and one paw on the
other, the rest Of it falling loosely over
the back of the wearer 1t was held in
place with a scarf of ermine. which
passed across the chest anu finished
with loose end on one shoulder.
An American dressmaker has started
the fashion for small position capes of
fur, and this novelty may attract wide
spread attention.

Curtaining the House.

Once the method that people seemed
to pursue when they were putting up
window curtains was to put up as
many as each window would possibly
hold 1t was really not unusual
twenty years ago to see three sets OF
curtains at a window thin lace cur
tain over the glass, narrow curtains
of silk hanging at the eide and then
sort of overcurtain Of velour. with
valance and looped backed sides.
Nowadays Just the opposite method
Is pursued We curtain our windows,
to be sure but we curtain them as
lightly as may be. And we curtain
them simply, too. Many drawing
rooms have a simple net curtain hung
over the glass, with side curtains OF
straight lengths of silk. For the liv-
ing room scrim curtains. hemstitched
at sides and bottom, are very attrac-
tive, with curtains at the SIDE OF Veiour
or silk Tan scrim or cream scrlm or
white scrim can be chosen, to har-
monize with the color scheme of the
room. If the woodwork is white en-
ameI white scrim is the right choice;
If 1t be brown tan or cream is the
right choice.
For bedrooms nothing will ever be
prettier than cretonne or chfntZ, In
lowered patterns. These curtains can
be made with a valance across the top
or else hung just at the sides. over
the bedroom window a curtain OF dot
ted swiss or net may be hung for the
sake of privacy. although in country
house no curtain directly over the glass
is necessary-for there are no near
neighbors to consider.
The best way to arrange the curtain
over the glass in bedroom is to make
ash curtains, fastening them to a rod
at the top of the lower sash, so that
they can be raised with the windows.
and SO keep out no air when the win
dows are open. Moreover, this arrange
ment keeps the curtain out of the
dampnes when the window ie open
and so keeps 1t clean.
There is a new curtain fabric for bed
room curtains which is very attractive.
When hung it gives the effect Of two
sets of curtains. Half the curtain Is
plain scrim and the other half has a
figure worked into it with heavy
threads so that the effect is that of
cretonne curtain hung over scrim-but
only one curtain rod is needed and the
whole curtain problem is simplified.
