fairs in France. and traditions of the
kitchen are carefully guarded and
handed down by the women of France

OF Interest TO Women
SLEEVELESS JACKETS FOR CHILDREN.
BY ANNE RITTENHoUSE.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK, August 6.-The source OF
the sleeveless jacket is doubtful. but
who cares who sarted it as long as
every one accepts it
1T is not new this summer. 1t is one
of those fashions that dip in and out
of the sartorial system like pale and
.unimportant comet through the solar
system.
The French designers like it for this
reason; it took away from a thin gown
that informal shirt waist appearance OF
which France has never approved and
which America has learned to discard
except for sports and the most informal
country usage.
Last February it was carried out in
gowns of jersey cloth that We're intend
ed for the south. but. like one of those
winds of perversity that blow through
the public mind, the idea was not taken
up with any degree of enthusiasm.
The designers urged it; the reporters
wrote of IL in glowing terms. those
who are always on the watch towers
looking for innovations and originations
spoke persuasively of it a garment
out of the commonplace. Yet. the pub
lie was Indifferent.
