Tapped in the breeze, was stamped a look well you see that same look in some pictures of Joan of Arc. It wasn't merely look. It was story. It was tragedy. It was the history of a people. You saw in it that which told of cen turies of oppression in Russia. You saw eager groups of student intellectuals, gathered in secret places for low-voiced fiery talk. There was in 1t the unspeAh. able misery of Siberia. It spoke e.o- quenly of programmes, of massacres, e Kiev, and its sister-horror, Kishineff. You saw mean and narrow streets and care- fully darkened windows and, on the oth- CT side of those windows. the warm yell low glow of the seven-branched shabbos light. Above all this there shown the courage of a race serene in the knowledge that it cannot die. And Illuminating all, so that her pinched face beneath the Tapping pennant was the rapt, uplifted countenance of the crusader. there blazed the great glow of hope. This vast wom- an movement, spoken of so glibly as sui frage, was, to the mind of this over- read, under-fed, emotional dreamy little Russian garment worker the glorious means to long-hoped-for end. She had idealized it with the imagery of her kind. She had endowed 1t with promise that it would never actually hold for her, per- haps. And so she marcned on, down the great glittering avenue. proudly clutch ing her unwleldly banner. a stunted, grotesque, magnificent figure. More than a figure. A symbol.

that Is just two panels over a tight. sheathlike skirt, and the two are held in at the waistline by a brilliantly colored sash that somewhat initiates the Ameri- can hustle silhouette by resolving itself into bow and ends at the side.
 Premet, who has turned out such un- usually good gowns this year. assemblies her flying panels under a sash of Chin ese or Japanese embroidery and arranges looks somthing like a hustle that has slipped-and uncomfortable and disagree able way that they had of doing in that 1880 period when women wore them in an uglier form than they are introducing today
 It is not necessary to go to any trou- ble to have the panels match the tight skirt beneath in either color or mate rial. Lavin insists that the greater the difference between the two, the better the style. She will use hydrangya blue and black together or golden taA and deep purple.
 Even when these flying panels are not converted into an entire gown, there is
 
 leading fashion which sees to it that most of our frocks look as though they were slit up the sides, to show the tightest skirt that we could walk in
 USING GOLD MESH BAGS
 We have learned to look to Bulbs for something extreme, especially since he has become the couturier to Mary Gar den. His wonderful Griselda gown that she exploited in Chicago when singing the opera of that name produced an epi- demic of embroidered. medieval clothes, and when a dancer wore blue serge frock that was trimmed with padded pink satin roses. that fashion was wide ly taken up.
 Therefore, when Bulioz seems to have gathered together all the gold mesh bags in Paris and used them as ornaments for his leading street frock then the world pays strict attention to what he is doing.

Callot puts the mark of her approval on the First Elm pire gown, and she follows the inspiration of Yvette Guilbert in offering colors and silhouette taken from the windows of destroyed cathedrals U Jenny and Premet give us the flying panels and the looped, trousered skirts of the orient

It is not possible to divide the new gowns into strongly differing sections. No designer has taken a period and cop jed her gowns from it with certainty and exactitude. All of the French and American workers have jumbled their history In way that would give the seeker after truth a brainstorm.
 It is well for the public at large that the designers do not stick too closely to period clothes. When the decorators insist that one cannot have a curtain. a vase or a cushion in a room that is drawn from a certain period. we get beautiful pieces of interior decorative work which should be in a museum, but which have little relationship to an inti- mate home life.
 It is wise for every woman to learn, and it would be we'll if one could only teach the artists and decorators the same thing, that exhibition work Is one thing. but the kind of work that one must live with is another. We can go to meseums of department shops and see period rooms and period dress. but hu- man nature resents the thought of hav- ing such limited environment in which to spend ones waking and sleeping hours. Therefore, we greet with pleasure the fact that vastly different periods of his- tory have been dipped into for the new clothes; but anarchronism is rife.
 CALLOT AND THE EMPIRE
 The Callot gowns were the last to get to this country. and they presented no new note, except the introduction of the first empire silhouette. Even when Callot took tho most symbolic feature in this period, which Is the high waist line that slightly girdles the figure just under tho bust, she added medieval sleeves to 1t that the Empress Josephine never wore.
 The most dominant first empire frock that Callot has ever sent over Is of brilliant red that Is neither geranium. Japanese nor wine. She calls it 'in- cedine." It has the richness of . ruby in the light and resembles that jewel to the inexperienced eye more than tho flames from a conflagration. This gown is not marred by trimming. As the French say, it goes without . garnish. The neck Is not low in the way that Callot is apt to arrange 1t and the sleeves not only cover the arms and wrists, but the back of them hangs to the knees when the arms are dropped.
 When Callot features a new thing it is bound to be significant, and, there- fore, when she puts a modified angel sleeves in the same gown with an ex- treme Josephine waistline, she Is pro ducing something that will be widely copied and worn by women of the most ultra fashionable convictions.
 As for the rest of the Collet collec- ton, the only word that can describe it is Callot The trousers are lack ing and the Oriental effect is magni- fled, especially in one gown that seems to have been made on the impulse of

the moment in the same manner em- ployed by the heroine of Beiasco's new play. Polly With Past.' In this, the actress catches up yards of orange colored velvet in an interior decorator s then presents herself as a good imita- ton of a fascinating French lady who trods the primrose path.
 Probably the medieval sleeves will re- ceiv,e more attention from American women than the first empire waistline- This fact is increasingly evident in tho exhibitions of American designed gowns. which have obviously taken the medieval sleeves as the chief feature.
 An entire chapter of dress could be written concerning this sleeve. It has played most historic part in the evo- lution of fashion throughout the cen turies Like the comets of the solar system, it comes in and out of the sun's glare at intervals and can never be counted as lost.
 America was quite we'll aware that some type of long, flowing sleeve would reappear this autumn. It was foreshad-
 
 that reached to the wrist and hung down. ward in points. Every cable from Paris insisted upon the preference shown by the French women for gowns that did not expose the arms. even though they were half low at the neck Fantastic gowns in this country, designed for the footiights, brought a good deal of atten- ton to themselves by the immensity Of their sleeves, but these were usually fashioned on some antique Chinese idea, for their square outline was held i'll place by Chinese tassels and jade brace lets.
 Then came the first Callot gown With the genuine medieval sleeve. The men who were in Paris early in the sum- mer and who saw the possibilities in the renewal of such sleeve, got it over here before the actual Callot gowns were unwrapped and dispiayed to the American public.
 It Is not easy to define these sleeves by simply calling them medieval. To our American minds, they are reminis- cent of the Abbey drawings They might have been worn by the daughters of King Lear. And above all. their beauty catches the eye because of the ca thedral colors in which they are dyed.

 THE CHINESE PANELS
 There is another important feature in the new fashions that no woman can fail to overlook. These are what are known in France as flying panels. They ars supposedly adopted from Chinese dress. They are placed on the skirt O. on the bodice, and there are extreme gowns in which they swing from the shoulders.
 Jenny uses them in gown that Is fashioned after those worn by Chinese women. It has an oddly shaped, trou-

little accessory which resembles an apron, but is intended for ornament ana not service, appears on a sufficient mum Der of new frocks to proclaim itself still in fashion.
 In evening gowns, even Callot has used 1t as background for distin- guished embroidery. It gives substan- tiality to a fragment of skirt, when it is made of taffeta or satin. Sometimes it is embroidered with Napoleonic fleur-de-iis, and this period of French history is further accentuated by the trim and regular vine with it's leaves that is part and parcel of early nine teenth-century costumery.

She was very small girl, even in that group of pale-faced, understood under-fed girls. A Russian Jewess, evil dently. Her shoes were ludicrous.
