IF there is nothing radically new to
 chronicle since the Paris openings.
 there are a great many develop ments that asc of interest and there are tendencies that. it may be well to discuss, while details of the fashion able toilette are such that they may be either brilliantly Successful or create hopeless failure as they are selected with wisdom or without. Short, full skirts are so easily. exag- presents danger Whenever we have fancy foot wear, there are unlimited possibilities for the display of poor taste and this season. short skirts and fancy footwear make two all inn portant features The latest work from Paris asserts that the beautiful, carefully made high shoes of fine leather or cloth in color to match the costume are held smarter, more dig nifed and in better taste than the low shoes. Last week, mention was made of dancing shoes of white satin made on these lines and the same general idea will be carried out on the costumes of the best dressed women. Say what we will and defy convention as we may, the really well-dressed woman is never extreme and never allows her cos tune to degenerate into anything that touches vulgarity. Such unseemly exposure as results from thin hosiery and low shoes with skirts six or eight inches from the ground, is in bad taste and cannot be anything else no matter who may exploit it, no matter under what auspices it may appear. From good authority comes the statement that one of the best known grandes danes of Paris has never been seen upon the street in low shoe and while that may be little extreme in view of the possibilities of warm weather, the lesson might we'll be taken to heart. The new shoes are really most attractive. Besides these high ones, thefe are others that are laced some on the sides and some at the back and there are also a great variety of low shoes that are higher than pumps and when the skirts are not more than three or four inches from the ground, they are very pretty worn herewith. Of course the idea of the laced shoes is found in the costumes from which the full skirts and the. Aaring skirts and the dropping shoulders and the round necks are taken, but in the days when . those costumes were new, there were no leather,shoes for .women's feet, they were all made of silk for dress occa-

THIS IS A SEASON OF t:UN-
 USUAL CHARM INt FABRICS

k HAY is really summer month,
 WI that is to say, it means the
 opening of the warm weather season and summer clothes are the ones we are sure to be interested in. Here are some really fascinating de- signs that can be utilized for the ma terials shown here and also for others. This is a season of unusual charm in fabrics. There are the loveliest pos sible silks, there are bordered ma terials and founcings that are fairly rarishing and whether one is looking for cotton or for silk, something beau tiful and something dainty is at hand. The bolero gowns gives ecvidence of the tendency toward sleeveless effects. It is made of lowered and plain taf- feta and the taffeta is of the very soft, thin sort that is delightful for warm weather wear. The little jacket is very jaunty and becoming and the combination of the open neck and the long sleeves and turned-over cuffs is peculiar to this season. The same effect could be obtained by using lowered cotton crepe with a little taffeta to trim it and a taffeta jacket or something quite different would result from making the bolero and the skirt of silk and the blouse of crepe de chine or fine voile or some thing of such sort. There is not a single model of the season that can not be made to take on different

SMART COSTUMESsFORj BRIGHT SPRINGsDAYS

IN this picture is shown coat suit
 and also a gown of the favorite taffeta and both. are designed for small women and for young girls. The taffeta gown is just one of the fiufiest, prettiest. most fascinating that could be imagined, and it is per- fectly simple too, consequently is essentially youthful in effect. The ruches are made of the mateisal and the blouse is made of crepe de cains. The coat suit shows one of the cheviot mixtures that are % much liked this season. It is really very smart and incidentally is durable; it shows shades of brown and tan and now and thel.. threads of red that give great beauty. The collar and the cuffs are of brown faillc. The belted coat with the yoke Is essentially girllike and the circular skirt flares just sufficiently to be grace full and becoming. Blue serge would

aspect as it Ais made of one fabric or of another. The gown at the center is designed for the dance that is so generally and 60 thoroughly enjoyed. Here, it is made of embroidered cotton voile with very sandsome ribbon for the girdle and jus: that touch of bril-. liant color Is the making of the cos tune. It would be pretty copied in bordered taffeta for the bordered taf- fetas are lovely or it could be made of plain taffeta with velvet ribbon used to finish the flounccs and the bertha could be of lace. It is very simple and easy to make and for that reason should make a very earnest appeal to the home needle-woman. The gown at the right shows founcing used in a somewhat different way. It is simple, adapted to afternoon occasions. In this case, the founcing is embroidered batistc and the blouse is made of plain material to match.
 The girdle worn with this gown ia made of striped ribbon in the real Roman colors and perhaps one of the most interesting features of the sea- son is the one in which the girdle is used to give brilliant and even pic turesque touch to an otherwise quiet costume. Ribbons are so beautiful that they seem ideally adapted to the
Arizona republican., 1916-03-29

sort. They can be worn both by boys and by girls and they appro- priately can be made of linen, galatea, chambray and all similar materials. In each case, there is patch pocket and no rompers are really complete without that finish for to be really happy, child must have storage place of some sort. If the pockets seem to harbor too many different ob- - jects, they can be easily cleared out. but without them, there will be no real pleasure in the garment for the child. No. S343 is made with circular boomers that suggest a skirt. It is made of white material and banded with a color but it could be finished with scalloped edges if pre- ferred. It is really very dainty little garment and of course it is equally appropriate for the blue chambrays, blue galateas and other serviceable fabrics that rompers seem to suggest. Checked ginghams are good for the purpose and this season they are shown in lovely colors and plain materials always can be given pretty finish. Short and long sleeves both are used. The short sleeves are of course somewhat cooler on the warm days, but long sleeves are somewhat more protective under the hot sun and consequently many mothers pre- fer them.

sions and of cloth for everyday and were closed with lacins just after the manner of those under discussion. If they were less shapely. less elegant the improvement is of course due to growth and should be welcome. but the general idea remains the same. Not so very long ago, leading boot maker here in New York displayed in his window the shoes of century. It was most interesting exhibition and 1t serves to recall what kind to mind many things. for after all, the walking boots and the leather boots for womens wear are a comparative innovation Our great grandmothers if not our grandmothers wore no such thing and we cannot wonder that their hours of walking were limited when we consider the kind of covering pro- vided for their feet Soles only were of leather and even the soles were absurdly thin for outdoor use
 Spats are being extensively worn. perhaps more extensively worn than is altogether desirable, for they are by no means always becoming and there is a strange, inexplicable ten dency of human nature to choose the thing least suited to the need. We often see the lightest colored, most conspicuous spats worn by the women with the thickest ankles and least shapely feet and after all, the incon- spicuous shoes are the best for general wear and there are a sufficient num- Der of attractive ones shown to pro- vide variety.
 From shoes to the corsage is some- thing of jump perhaps. but in tho round neck and in the dropping shoul- ders are to be found the second con- spicuous evidences of the period from which prevailing fashions have been developed. If we have nothing elss for which to be thankful, we should surely sound a pean of praise over the departure of the extremely low bodices and the excessively distasteful treatment thereof 90 much in evidence recently. The fashionable gown of the summer is made with the round neck and the short, pufed sleeves and it is pretty. becoming and modest withal.

THERE are no other garments
 that mean just the comfort
 to the child that is to be found In the rompers and in simple aprons. Every normal child wants to plan, to romp and to grow and develop without any consideration of clothes. Rompers are really ideal for the little folk and the aprons that cover the frock serve that purpose well for the slightly Colder children. If candy making is in progress, the apron is a real friend and there are lots of other pleasures for which the apron will help out. There are two shown in

The striped apron is almost frock in itself and in real warm weather, it can be worn in place of dress as we'll as over one. It is belted to hold it in place and is buttoned right down the back. In the picture, the white apron is made of lawn with lace, but the striped apron is made of simple percale that is designed especially for service. Way over in the left
