MADE IN JAPAN.

Perhaps the first time you ever
really appreciated match made in
Sweden was the first time you tried
to use one of the new importations
that has come to us from Japan. IL
you have been using japanese safety
matches-which are put up in boxes
and wrappings almost Identical to
those fr.n Sweden-you are prob
ably not very enthusiastic about Jap
anese meth'>ls of match manufacture.
For II truly does seem as IL half of
these matches were made on such
slender sticks that they broke as you
tried to light them and the other
half. II seems. are so poorly endowed
with birthstone or whatever it is that
makes matches light that they won't
ignite when you do succeed in strik-
ing them.
But there is no doubt about the
fact that we are using more and more
Of Japan's produce. and Japanese
manufacturers are coming In for an
enormous amount of the goods and
articles that are used by women In
the home or for their clothes.
AS things now stand, Japan Is fac
ing the duty OF supplying the whole
world with silk for the coming season.
and that, too, at a time when silk will
have to be used instead Of wool to
considerable extent.

The Transparent Dinner Coat.
The French designers have brought
out Chinese coat, if one wishes to he
elastic in phrasing. which smart wom-
en- are wearing over half low or very
low gowns in the evening, to give
them semblance of seriousness.
You know there has been "A cOnti-
mental opposition to the extreme
I decolletage since the day war was de-
clared. There should be no regret
about this, for the American woman,
especially the young girl, had arrived
at state of nudity in the evening that
was disagreeable TO even the most
tolerant onlooker
There are several varieties of this
dinner coat among the dressmakers in
| Paris, and they are repeated over
here. They are made of chiffon, of
strong silk net. and of that new, eX-
quisite weave Of georgette They are
| high in the back, have long, flowing
| sleeves and present, in the hand,
shapeless mass of filmy beauty that
could seemingly serve as n scarf,
veil or "A flounce on gown.
When they are put on the finger,
| they are quite enticing, and II Is the
opinion of artistic women that they
redouble the allurement of an evening
gown.
The highest artists in clothes always
contend that 1t is more lovely to
slightly veil the skin than to leave 1t
as it is, and these colorful coats carry
out that idea.
Jade green, mauve. Mandarin yell
low, Vatican purple and American
| beauty red are the colorS that are
| most frequently chosen. AS green is
| the color of the moment in anything
from tub silk frocks to Chinese bro
| cades, 1t is natural that every woman
who can possibly wear 1t uses it for a
| transparent coat to enliven dinner
| gowns that are new, as well as those
that have given their full quota of
service.
The best Of these coats are touched
here and there with oriental embroi-
deries done in tiny crystal beads. The
effect is as eastern as the Tai.
These coats were possibly suggested
| by the tulle cape that is amazingly
popular The house of Callot has al
ways stood for the lace or cobweb
tulle draperies that swing from the
shoulders over the arms and down the
back of the frock, and here and there
this custom of wearing q tune cape
was adopted by women who were
guided by Callot in most OF their
costumery.
Stage folk saw in the drapery n
chance to project their gowns against
n good background. and more i'm
portant than that, an admirable op-
portunity to use their arms and hands
in graceful way. But the fashion,
as fashion. still hung fire among the
people.
Now 1t has been adopted on five
gowns out of ten, one can safely say.
Even gowns of dark blue taffeta
which are offered as demure and Sc
date for dining in public, have a
square decollete in front and dark

, GINGHAM PETTICOAT.

The gingham petticoat has suddenly
risen to "A position Of prominence.
There have always been gingham
petticoats, of course. but they have
been worn usually as matter of
economy. Now, however, the ging-
ham petticoat is quite the thing to
wear. and 1t is made in the most at
tractive styles. Sometimes 1t is seal
Hoped around the bottom, and perhaps
trimmed with bandings or pipings of
this is its prettiest fashion. 1t is usually
made In stripes, checks or plaids, altho
there are some of plain blue or pink
gingham that are trimmed with band
ings or pipings of plaid or stripes cut
on the bias.

one hundred and one years later
the apparel people Insist that there is
no summer In their business, and 1t
will go down into history as such. The
war. the long delayed hot weather the
uncertainty in all the shops, gave the
manufacturers and dressmakers a
good reason for not making up n large
quantity of summer costumes.
SO hot weather clothes are hap

of the season Is the Introduction OF
