today, and no one but buyer for Il
rich American firm can afford more
than one in Paris at this season.
No plausible reason is given for this
increase in prices. There is no need of
one. Paris needs all the money she
can get and she is no different from
any other section of humanity on this
planet in demanding all she can get
when she knows that the world IS de-
pendent on her work.
Whether or not this will mean that
the American people will pay more for
their autumn clothes is in the balance,
We, the laymen, have never found
that the American commercial world
ever had the slightest hesitation in
getting all it could out of us.
Fashions That Are Promised.
Several of the French houses still
insist upon the Russian influence In
clothes, but this does not mean the in
i!uence of the Russian ballet. There
is vast difference between the
clothes of Cossack and those OF a
slave in SchchcraZada.
Russian blouSes, Paris says, will be
longer than ever and will be belted
with superb pieces OF crude. brilliant
Russian embroidery in which there is
II CLINT of metal.
Many jackets will be three quarter

rather. for onc-piece frOcks with

The gray known us blcu arloise,
which is slate blue. is to be incor-

Dark blue gaberdne with Il thick
cord across it will be used for coat

nARIS-Thcre is no doubt now that
the French designers will put
through their plan to give us
skirts that are longer and less wide.
There is no return, however to the
sheath or hobble skirt Not ripple
ON the surface of fashion indicates
that woman will have less freedom ia
walking because Of the tightneSs of
the hem.
There is great deal of fullness
taken out of the side seams in the new
skirts. and the effect is more like the
full skirts of the eighteenth century
than those of last winter.
A few of the Paris houses cut their
walking skirts only three yards wide.
Four yards, however, was Il more gem
"ral measurement, and many of the
evening skirts fell to the floor in slight
fullncsS. with n siZcable train behind.
Even this moderate amount of full
ness is not held out by ccrclettcs or
crnolinc, nor is there any tendency
toward the barrel skirt or the eXag-
gcration of the hips by the vatican
pannierS.
No Hip Distension.
Mind You, there is still an orna-
mcntation of the hips, but it is not
used for the purposes of diStcnSiOn.
What one writer has called the slip

should be brought into relief.

By DOLLY DALRYNlPLE

(C1HE was a sentimental young girl and N had devoted much time and tender " thought to the home decora tions for Christmas.
 Her surprise may be imagined when she came downstairs one morning and found the Christmas decorations all moved around and jumbled up generally.
 The mistletoe boughs that had been half hidden in secluded places had been substituted for holly wreaths that had been hanging in the front windows in plain view of every passerby, both mas cUline and feminine
 The girl looked terribly puzzled; what ever had happened? It looked all just as pretty but-yes-e everything was changed.
 Quickly her small brother said as he saw her trying to work out the prob lem:
 Say, sis you are not half as clever as I thought you were''
 "Just what do you mean?" asked the sentimental maiden.
 You've had that mistletoe hanging for nearly a week in dark corner and you haven't had a single, solitary customer yet"
 Well" she said, interrogatively.
 You see where it's hanging now, don't you?" he asked curiously. Tn the front window. Why, sis, you're not up-to-date a bit; what you want to do is to ad- vertise!'

HER SI[DE-=-AND HIS WHAT HAVE WE LET OURSELVES IN FOR?"
By ZOE BECkLEY

on their way home from the un- speakable yet well meant hospitality of Mr. and Mrs Timothy Rourke the Temples tried to hide their misgiv- ings under a cloak of fun. Cora felt the depression that any refined wom- an would at having an ignorant and vulgar social climber suddenly at- tached to her like a burr.
 That Ellen Rourke was the wife of Cora's husbands business benefactor made escape impossible. That Ellen Rourke was essentially lkindhearted and generous made Cora feel ashamed for 'writhing at her crudeness
 She knew David felt even worse at the prospect of working under Timo- thy Rourke. She knew he had mis- givings as to the outcome But both she and Dave were determined to be conscience clear as to their every &C., ton. The moment anything the least bit questionable arose they would quit. This, they both realized, was not the most comfortable way to live. But, as David had said, life has way of putting things up to you sometimes so that you must fail utterly-or com promise
 So David and Cora Temple laughed over their troubles and kept each others courage up.
 Now we're going to see a whole lot of each other. dearie, ain't we?' Thus had spoken Ellen Rourke as Cora and Dave took their leave, over- fed, overestimated, overwrought with the whole evenings plethoric enter tainment. "I want to meet that sweet Cousin Beth of yours. I'm just dying to know the Woodfords. And Mrs. Allyn, too, and the Brayton girls. Lauretaa will just love Patricia Bray ton. And I'm putting you down as patroness of the clambake our clubs giving next week. And. oh, yes; the bridge party. Don't forget my bridge, Cora" And Mrs. Rourke wagged a fat fingfer playfully beneath Cora's nose.
 All the way home in the taxi-which they had taken after all on the strength of David receiving substan- tial retainer" from Timothy Rourke- Cora's mind kept up little undercur- rent of serious thought while on the surface she seemed care free.
 Am I a snob?'' she wondered. "Oh, I don't meant to be. I know in my heart that Ellen Rourke is good woman, @ woman of character And really character is all that really counts. Yes, Pm-yes. I'm ashamed to introduce her to Beth Woodford and the Alyns and the Braytons.
 I'm ashamed of myself for being ashamed. Yet what will Beth think of her clothes and her diamond rings on her fat. careless-nailed fingers? How will Bernice Allyn act when she says, We never think nothing is too good for our friends? What will Patricia Brayton do when she tells how much she pays for her apartment and what it cost her to chip off a piece of the Blarney stone and have
