learned where her favorite feeding

her favorite resting. places and also
that there wasn't chance to hide near

He found this out by visiting each one

BLACK FAILLE SILK HAS REVIVAL.

importers displayed some of the new
Worth gowns, we had an instant feel
ing that they must have been created
for play and that our buyers had made
Intended for this season; but despite
their lack Of popularity, Worth con-
tinued to make them, and after a while
we grew accustomed to the thought
that they were not only intended for
the season of 1915, but that they were
gradually gaining popularity.
Lining Black With Color.
Both Worth and Paquin Endorsed the
idea of making a cascade down the
side of skirt. into which was intro
duced a lining of pale colored silk and
satin. This took away the somberness
of these stiffish silk frocks. and the
idea in itself gained wide circulation
among American dressmakers during
the winter.
The Worth method of handling the
fabrics was not copied in full. but this
detail gained a place on a variety of
afternoon and evening gowns.
There is no doubt that Worth, as
famous houses in Paris, intends to
insist upon spring frocks of ribbed
silk made up after a, bygone period,
and neither is there any doubt that
we will accept the idea although the
American dressmakers may modify the
gowns as the season progresses
In this country we like taffeta now
better than faille, but we shall wear
the latter in suits as well as street
frocks. There will be another effort
- @1r ryn~ L
though each step in this direction has
failed instantly in America since the
war began. If it is brilliantly touch
ed up with another, however, it may
make itself more welcome.
A Gown From Play.
Looking at the French frock which
is sketched today, one would say that
1t was surely intended for a play and
not for the main street Of an American
town. It is significant in several ways;
one is the drapery on one hip with its
lining of pink silk; the fiat bodice
which has no visible fastening; the
leg-o'-mutton sleeves which are tied
above the elbow with ribbon, and the
high, transparent collar and turnover
cuffs of white silk net. There is pink
rose with pendant black ribbons placed
at the bust.
The high collar which is shown here
has been a favorite addition to the
neck for a year in Paris, but it has
not made much Roadway in this coun-
try. Possibly, it will share the fate OF
the majority of French fashions-that
is, will be warmly received after it has
stood the test OF time in another coun-
try. Emerson once gave the advice
that it was best not to read any book
until it had been in circulation for
two years. and had proved successful:
we divide that time and apply the
maxim to certain French fashions.
