TAFFETA GOWNS WITH
NET TRIMMING

There is hardly gown of taffeta
that does not boast of net trimming.
One unusual frock in black must be
described. This gown had a double
skirt, like many do nowadays. the
foundation skirt was of taffeta. the
overskirt formed of panels of taffeta,
alternating with the net, the whole
skirt gathered and topped by bodice
of tsfeta.
This skirt OF many panels was I'm
ished at the bottom with cord of
the taffeta, mode of finishing many
of this seasons skirts. The bolero bo-
dice of black taffeta, embroidered in
gold thread, opened over q vest of
croam-colored lace. Pocket effects at
the sides under the bust, also en-
broidered, allowed the remaining por-
tions of the front to cross over and
fasten above the normal waist-line,
one end terminating in silk-eoyered
slide.

NEW FASHIONS KHICHHAVE
FRENCH WOMEN'S APPROVAL

PARIS, France. The spring sun
shine that has brought back to Paris
foliage and flowers seems to have
also brought back the bright crowds
of fashionably dressed women.
Throughout the winter Paris was in
deed changed city from the point of
view Of fashion. On the avenues and
in the few places where people gath
cred. the true Parisienne seemed to
have disappeared, for she could hardly
be recognized wearing past seasons
costume, and without her accustomed
cachet. She was apparently indisser-
ent to the fact that Dame Fashion had
commanded a complete change of her
silhouette, and only in dressmaking
establishments could be seen the
gowns that had been created on the
new lines.
However, the chic Parisienne has
reappeared with the spring blossoms.
and like the petals of the flowers, her
skirts are spreading wider and wider.

own appearance which Of the fash

SILK CREPE KIMONOS
RARE AND BEAUTIFUL

Very desirable to own are the So
called antique Japanese kimonos.
They are made with the long. square
sleeves, with cotton roll around the
bottom and are of silk crepe. The
patterns, taken from the old porce-
lsins, show gardens with rivers. boats
and birds and low hanging clouds. or
the rice fields with birds lowering
above and feecy clouds drifting up
the back almost to the shoulders. The
colors are exquisite. and. of course, no
two are alike. They are expensive,
but rare and beautiful.

THE CORRECT USE OF COLOR
And How 70 Apply Z to the Home

In no other field has the right use
OF color been so neglected as in the
furnishing of the American home, and
nowhere else could its influence be
so wide or beneficient. The use of
color has countless possibilities and
meanings. Different countries did
not always give the same meaning
to colors, but to all white was purity,
black was evil, blue was virtue and
truth, and yellow, in China, was roy.
atty.
The individual, spontaneous choice
OF color, however, is not always best
or wisest in the furnishings of home.
First, the mental influences of color
must be taken into account. Con-
slider, for example, the effects of the
three elemental primary colors- yell
low, red and blue
Yellow is nearest to sunlight. Nor
bid dispositions require this color, al.
though they do not choose it. Yellow
brings cheer and light into a dark,
gloomy room.
Red is symbolic Of blood. fire and
excitement. Even an animal is ex-
cited by red, for the sight of it actu-
ally initiates the nerves. Therefore,
since the keynote of all homes should
be rest. and red in any large area
destroys restfuIness, it should be ham
died with special caution. 1t may be
introduced successfully into drawing
rooms, club rooms and dance halls,
where gayety and a certain amount
of excitement are desirable, but for
other interiors 1T should be employed
only in occasional details
Rarely in public. buildings and al
most never in private homes is a red
room advisable
Blue is the coolest color note, and
makes a room restful and cool For
this reason 1t is especially pleasing in
warm sections OF the country, in.
summer homes. in sunny south rooms
and also in bedrooms-for 1t is al
ways suggestive of rest An entirely
blue room may prove rather monoto-
nous, hut this can be avoided by the
introduction OF orange, the compli.
mentary color, as a decorative note.
Tia orange adds both warmth and
interest
Orange, the combination of yellow
and red, is symbolic OF light and heat.
which makes 1t the hottest color pos.
sible Since it is the strongest and
most intense of coIors, It should be
used only in small areas, for enpha.

Knockers In Vogue
fer Inner Doors

-HIS II an age OF rev!ysls ot
many quaint and picturesque
details of living and furnish
ing which have been crowded
out before the march Of progress and
Its twin sister, modern conyeniences.
No old English or early American
home was built without a knocser OF
brass, bronze or iron upon its outer
door. and frequently smaller knockers
were placed upon the doors OF bed
rooms or studies II the doors were kept
closed much Of the time The use OF
the knocker began visibly to wane with
the invention Of the bell to be rung In
the kitchen or the servants hall by
pulling a knob at the front door, and
the Knockers fate was sealed with the
Introduction Of the electric bell, rung
by the mere pressing OF button.
The presence Of a knocker at the
outer door Of q house does not. how
ever. preclude the button of an elec-
trio bell conveniently near. The repIac-
ing of the knocker might be regarded
as a concession to the increased inter-
est in what Is old fashioned and pic
turesque, giving q certain "atrnos-
phere." just as we value the fireplace
with fits open hearth. though we depend
for protection from chill blasts upon
the hot air furnace or the steam or
hot water radiator.
For use upon the inner doors of
house. however, the quaint little knock
er fulfills a function of its own and is
winning steadily in popularity The
makers of such wares have searched
the world for examples to serve as pat
terms for reproduction. and one may
choose at moderate cost a knocker OF
English. Scotch. German or early
American pattern.
So extensive is TIE rance of choice
possible that tie knontor -oieo.aI may
be of a pattern highly dfsn.f:ed and
enthusiastically correct or else one may
choose something frankly grotesque
and freakish. Sometimes the choice
may be of still another character and
the knocker be reminiscent OF some
historic character or some famous
building. a bust of Shakespeare. a
statue of Chaucer or the Old Curiosity
Shop or the Tower of London.
In certain American country home
where great care has been taken to
maintain the exact fitness OF things the
choice of many knockers has been made
very carefully. : tfb 49, =,
