TURN TO THE PANNIER
FRENCH MoDIsTEs TAKE UP THE
NEW STYLE.
Old Fashion Revived and In Pro-
nouneed Form - Has Much to
Recommend II From the
Point Of Beauty.

At the Newport fashion show as
we'll as at the openings in Paris. there
was an undoubted preference shown to
the pannier. Lucille has advocated 1t
for six months and will continue to do
so, as her new and wonderfully lovely
costumes for Florence Walton have
proved.
In these she makes the pannier of
tulle or gold lace. sometimes wired
to stand out. again punched high in
masses of materials. She has also
returned to favor the afternoon
frOck of colored silk with a fichu of
organdie and high loopings of the
fabric over the skirt, a kind of Mo-
zartian costume which is quite fetch
ing.
Paris has shown an even more pro-
nounced form of the pannier bor-
rowed from Marie Antoinette's day.
The skirt of the special frock that
has caused much comment has a
tlounce of blue chiffon edged with
velvet ribbon. over which are panniers
of howered yellow taffeta. This fab
ric extends above the belt to form half
of the bodice, the other half being
built of chiffon with shoulder straps
of blue velvet.
Panniers are not exactly the kind
Of thing that one wears well in the
street. but for the evening they are
charming. Made of the soft taffeta
that will remain fashionable this
winter, or in tulle edged with brill
liant metal embroidery, they present
a pleasing contrast to the type of eve
ming frock that the designers have
given us for several seasons.
If the fashion for combining lace
with satin or flowered silk is actually
taken up as it deserves to be, then
the pannier will be the most ex-
pressive way of handling these two
materials in juxtaposition. silk that

Now just where do you keep your
patches? Do you let them lie in an
untidy fashion In a bureau drawer?
Do you throw them into the sewing
basket with the rest of your sewing
materials or do you keep them in
box or bag? Either one of the last
two places is the most convenient re-
ceptacle for the purpose. The latter
can be made Of white or tan linen or
rep. A very artistic patch bag seen
recently was made of white rep. It
