TUNIC GOWN WITH CADET SASH

HRANCE puts hustle in front of gown,
and America puts it in the back. Such
- is the interesting struggle going on
between designers.
Two men, one on this continent and one of
that, were responsible for the 1917 hustle, and
it may be confidently asserted that no woman
designer had part in its creation or develop
ment
II took the public just six weeks TO level the
fashion 10 the commonplace. 1t is because OF
this public acceptance that the style must be
dealt with generously by the reporters Of fash
ion who usually can give only passing attention
to each new idea as it is shot across the bat
tlefield Of apparel One mans idea attracts
attention but that attention is DETECTED by
every other mans idea, but when this individ-
ual idea is multiplied thousand times by buy
crs and sellers, by women who pretend TO be
fashionable and by those who care nothing
about the word. then the fashion becomes "the
style" az we term it in this country, which is
our nearest equivalent % the French phrase,
"Cest 10 mode"

They spell economy because they need not
match the skirt in material or color and they
prove vastly becoming to a large majority o'
women. In velvet they go well with jerse!

though they were disguised under the name
of the farthngale, until we felt ashamed to
look at barrel, and it is not possible for
either the French or the American designers
to compel us to turn our attention to such
clothes in the immediate future.

There is another change of silhouette tha'
YOU must be ready to receive. There is corse-
let or cuirass bodice that belongs to all the
ages and is not the specific property OF any
one epoch. Queen Elizabeth wore it in an
exaggerated form. 1t belongs to symbolic
Britannia. 1t may be advanced as the type OF
upper garment that will act as graceful SUD-
stitute for the sandwich tunic and will prevent
the designers from bringing in frightened
waistline.

Coming Spring Fashions

war continues, the process of buying goes on
merrily to-day.
There is not the slightest idea OF return
to fulness in frocks or coats. There are two
good reasons for this announcements
scarcity of material in certain quarters and
the wish of the various governments of the
world for strict conservation, and also the fact
that we have been oversurfeited with fitness
in clothes and the very sight Of such a gown
gives us a squeamish attack of sartorial indi-
gestion. 1t is almost unbearable to-day to look
upon a looped, panniered, befrilled or be-
founced costume. We wore hoopskirts, even

WARRINGTON, Oct. 13. American
women are rot to be allowed in France.
The War Department order In August
designed to keep out Of France the wives.
mothers and sisters Of American officers
and soldiers and others having official
connection with the American expedition
has been too loosely regarded by the
State Department. 1t has been found.
Some wives have managed to get pass
ports and ara In France.
To-day the War Department took the
matter into It's own hands and let II be
known that any officer countenancing
disobedience of the order by any member
Of his family will lose his field command
and be returned to the United States.
The decision to enforce the rule rigidly
was reached to-day after Gen. Pershing
had reported that the presence Of the
