The Country of Muslins.

Possibly these immense prices which
we come face to face with in this coun-
try whenever we attempt to buy an
imported lingerie frock are due to the
fact that French women do not use
such gowns except as the height of
extravaganza dressing for Deauville and
the Rhone valley or the Riviera in
April.
To them muslin is something that
goes with orchids; the accessories nee
essary for it are eXtravagant. The ex-
open work lace stockings. satin. lace
hat from a great house are items that
eat up a goodly part of the dress al
Iowsnce. No French woman will wear
a muslin frock unless she is equipped
with these accessories. and when she
parade.
To US the muslin frock is a little
sister to the rich satin, chiffon or serge
gown. There are whole sections of the
country in which it is possible to wear
only muslin from April until Noyen-
ber and II is only the exclusive woman
with wealth leading a fashionable life
IN the summer who attempts to create
an extravagant atmosphere for a mus
lin gown. even when it is hand en-
broidered
Today, for some reason which is not
easy to explain. the continent is food

taffeta is shown in the drawing above.
The bodice shows a propounced tend
