Will Differ From Those That
Achieved So Much Popu-
larity This Winter.
GOWNS IN BLACK AND WHITE
Effective Combination That Has Made
Decided Hit With Parisiennes-
Gray in Differing Shades 10

Just Now.

u third of yard wide and will be
lined with itself, unless the owner has
a black and white costume, when the
sash will show white underneath.
Speaking of black and white, the
combination was brought out by two
big houses in August. Other places
called the idea "old," 'demode," and
did not advise their clients to order
anything in it, During the last month
the very best gowns I've seen at the
opera, theater or afternoon teas have
been the one of black satin or velvet
with touches of white; and they have
been so much admired and have been
such success that it is not surprising
that nearly every smart frock being or.
dered today follows the black-and,
white craze.
Combinations in Gray.
In the spring it is sure to be re
peated, for by the side of the black
and white. colors appear garish. If
anything shares equal popularity with
this combination, it is gray, which is
used in different shades. The gray is
apt to be built on white, either in
corsage or skirt, and with the many
foldings, the shades vary from pearl
to iron. AS all the layers are of
mousseline or tulle illusion, the en-.
semble is delicately soft and seduc.
tive.
We occasionally use gray with Nat
tier blue, but by itself or with white
satin it is best and most flattering.

will greatly influence spring styles

Dyes are difficult to obtain in Paris
just as other things are, and while
black may not be easier than any other
dye, with such great experimentation

have is this embroidery across the front
and back, forming Il veritable medieval
armor. New things that are admired
employ the gold in the same manner,
and we are sure to see the idea repro
duced for spring and summer.
Satin for Coat Suits.
The designers here are bringing out
a heavy weave of satin for the first
spring suits, as substitute for serge.
There is a strong tendency to omit u
blouse and arrange the coat so that it
can be kept on. A few of these new
coats are buttoned down the back
from neck to hem, which removes any
possibility of their being taken off in
public place.
1t appears that the prevailing creed
think of going in her shirt sleeves any
more than n man would think Of doing
it; she wears wash blouse beneath
the jacket for purposes of cleanliness,
but not publicity. So far-reaching is
this creed that the medieval tunic which
extends only to the hip line and is
fastened to the shoulder or slips over
the head, is worn with cloth skirt
over blouse, even In the house.
Probably the best thing to remem.
ber in buying clothes now is that the
figure must be Strengthened out in the
medieval manner, from bust to hips,
You can choose your own way of doing
1t, whether by a deep girdle, by the
straight lines of the fabric or by q
belt of suede or leather that cOnceals
any inward curve beneath the arms to-
ward the waist.
There is no evidence that embroid.
cry in bullion and silk thread will &C
out of fashion this spring, but the
ornate French designs taken from
stained-glass windows of the fifteenth
century have given way to the more
primitive designs that one sees on the
pottery of Indians.
The fashion for the cashmere and
Paisley shawls that came out in Oc
tober will again find expression this
spring in figures printed on fiat sur
faces, and also the reproduction OF
the Paisley pear, which is an old In
dian design, in embroidery done In
colored and bullion threads.

Throughout the German evacuation
and the French occupation OF Roye,
the American bureau which has been
feeding the civil population continued
its work uninterruptedly.
The tfger-like onslaught which the
French are making on the German rear
is partially explained by the fact that
ever since the Somme offensive, the
French have known that retreat has
been under preparation.
The Somme offensive Of last fall con-
vinced the Germans Of their inability
to withstand another such attack from
the allies, especially II that offensive
was to be resumed on q more extend
ed front this spring.
Therefore, the Germans began con.
struction Of new line Of retreat now

old front in the vicinity OF Soissons.
On these new defenses, the Germans
forced the French civil population to
work many days.

weeks demonstrated that the Ger

French endeavored to engage the en-
