Chanel SENDS over from Paris q re-
markAbls costume which rsvivss the
lace that England once idolissd.

NEW YORK, Aug 6--lt was said of
William Morris that his fame should
really rest, no, on a chair, but on his
abolition of Nottingham lace curtains
at English windows
The poet who ruled the interiors OF
English houses from his grass grown
hamlet, had bitter antipathy to that
idol Of the British public, the common
lace curtain OF net with its huge and
ugly design which was spawned from
the great factories that gave II its
name.
America was not blAmeles In this
phase Of interior decoration. Her mid
Vctorianism would have been ss Of
fensive to William Morris, has he seen
it, as it was in the land OF its birth.
We have gone far on the road to good
interior decoration. We have the su.
preme apostles OF French decoration
which opposes anything colonial and
American and which has converted the
millionaires OF New York to its ideals,
and we also have the pure Georgians
who believe in the furniture and decor
a,ions of George Washingtons day
Between these, we have a host OF hid
eous things, such as overdone MARITIME
work and the offensive Futurism; and
yet through all the failures and sue
cesscs, one can see the touch OF amb-
tion. OF growing art and OF creeping
success.
Lace Curtain an Ovsrskirt.
Therefore, In view OF all our prog
ress, it n safe to say that the Noting
ham lace curtains which were con-
demned by William Morris along with
the lsmbrequin, the waved flowers
under glass cones, the hammered brass
portraits and the spotted carpets, have
vanished from American houses.
It's been long since we ffou1itt OF

comes one OF the nastefs.. Of French
dressmaking, who introduces such a
curtain N an overskirt.
Gabrielle Chanel 10 the woman who
does it The sketch shows her method
of handling 1t, and it must be admitted
that the gown Is not a failure.
The sailor blouse and the plain skirt
are made OF black gros de Londres, 4,
and the ovcrskirt Is OF cream Noting
ham lace. The design is lovelier than
what we are accustomed to seeing in
the stiff net draperies hanging from
heavy rod by big brass rings, and for
that progress we arc sufficiently CRATE

There is no other touch OF lace on

the peril of German imperialism to

clared his belief that the German peo-
pie would not cast of the yoke Of au.

II there were no wars Of aggression,
there would be no wars and lasting

by the most sinister government OF

nerve to supplant democracy by the
autocracy which they have been
taught to worship. When will the
German people awaken to the truth?
When will they arise in their might
and cast off the yoke and become
