tons with any o. the foes Of the
Allies, as in the case OF Dr.. Muck. for

justification for prescribing the play

German composers. When We do this,
are we not prescribing thar which we
should cultivate, that something OF

MILITARY FASHIONS.
IT HE shops have blossomed forth with

he ShopS nave oiooSoHCu AOh III "ieh
u military fashions.
Just where they got all the red, white
and blue bedecked garments nobody
knows. OF course, 1t was a comparative
ly easy matter for some energetic
manufacturer to have strips OF the
three nations colors stitched to q lot
of silk gloves, OF for another to have
red, white and blue pipings added to an
almost finished batch of organdie neck
wear. But where did all the military
frocks and capes come from?
They are here, anyway, and they are
very attractive. There are khaki shirts
that would be admirable for the wom-
an who intends to do her part in the
farming world this summer; they are
decorated with shields and other in
sigma in the national colors on the
pockets. There are all sorts of capes
with a military look. Some Of them are
braided, some are trimmed generously
with brass buttons. There are blue
serge frocks that almost set one cheer
ing. they so suggest a military parade.
And SO on it goes.
We all remember that when the Euro
pean war began Paris launched a few
military styles. They were accepted at
first with enthusiasm, but later on
other styles superseded them. Perhaps
with all the world at war Paris can
find permanent use for military in
spiration in women's fashions. Next
August, when the openings that Paris
has SO punctiliously kept up ever since
that fateful August Of 1914 occur again.

as wool jersey. White satin Of heavy

accustomed to. is made into one-piece
frocks for morning and lavishly trim

The bodice will have an Eton jacket ef-
feet outlined with this braid. and the
skirt will be banded within block de-
sign above the hem.
That idea Of a checker-board, hem.
which Calfet sent over here months
and months ago. became too common
on sport suits and skirts to be desired
by the better class of well dressed
women. but now that this design has
appeared on white satin with black or
white braid, 1t is again considered
smart. although It will surely give way
to straight bands.
The fashion which was brought out in

on any type of evening frock it is weIl

Another method that the dressmakers
have of catering to the concealment of
the waist line Is the use Of the elab-
crate cape of tulle or lace that goes
over the shoulders and extends to the
tips of the fingers. The fashion for lace
of any kind gives, one a variety. Of
methods of draping the body line in d

shawls may as well bring them to light
and see to what use they can be put. A
certain dressmaker of high skill has de-
clared that whenever the era of pre-
cious lace comes around she wants to
go out of business. for all her best Gus
toners come to her laden with heir
looms. which are cut after day that is

use it again without the utmost pa
tience and ingenuity, and the time and
vitality used up in adjusting lace to a
should be paid for extra. Instead of
being able to get the time used up by
her most expensive workers in arrang-
ing the laces, her customers are fretful
with her for not deducting as many
dollars from the price of the frock as
the lace was worth when it was bought.
Well, the dressmakers will face these
troubles at once, If they are not al
ready lin the throes. But the lining to
the cloud is the price to be gotten for a
new lace frock, or one which is plenti-
revived for amateur use. then every
woman feels that her day has come for
splendid gown, fit for occasions OF
ceremony. True. the hand of the ma
nipulation of old lace should be that OF
supreme artist; no 1ayman should
rush in where an expert fears to tread
but it is only barely possible to per-
suade even a dozen women to think
this thing is true. Few people will ad-
NIT that they are not quite capable OF
massing color. and in their ranks are
those who are firmly convinced tina,
, they can arrange precious lace.
Yet, the gift of drapery and com.

FiIet Lace Again.

R LoUsEs trimmed with filet lace are
ID one of the most charming fashion
offerings of the spring. They are made

times Of batiste. and are soft and de.

they are q bit Of the type, save that
they have no collars. of the blouse that

One attractive thing about these
blouses is that they can be made at

needle and a crochet hook. OF course.

Lace positively riots over the new

negliges, petticoats, coats and evening
frock drapery.
There is surely some economical rea-
SON behind this furore for valuable
and not easily procured article of dress.
It is quite evident that the French
wish to make lace the high fashion in
order to give employment to the thou
sands of needle workers of its own
country and those who have come from
Belgium and who have to be supported
by the French government.
