FASHIONS

The dainty dress for a small girl,
shown in the sketch. is made Of hand
kerchief linen trimmed with eyelet en-
broidery. The edge Of the skirt. as will
be noted. is scalloped. The frock is a
.slip-over=kfeshead model. The rather
wide collar of sheer organdy is held
close to the neck by a narrow ribbon
run underneath and tied in fiat bow
with long loops and ends at the back.
The back of the dress has the tucked
girdle, which also appears On the front
of the garment; but the little vest or
panel is omitted.
This frock could be attractively de-
veloped in any sheer cotton fabric. 1t
is not, however, desirable for one OF
the heavy materials, such as French
linen. pique. cordeline. etc, as the
beauty of the dress is dependent upon
its sheerness. The tucked girdle would
not be at all pretty IL developed in a
heavy material
Frocks for children continue to show

Legislatures Expected to Act.

There are now forty-two state legis-
latures in session. 1t is expected that
the conference will give approval to a
general plan for the erection of state
buildings and that one or more legis-
latures will start the ball rolling this
spring by providing the necessary ap-
preparation. Once the ice has been
broken the advantages, commercial and
otherwise, that will result from the
maintenance of such permanent dis
plays will be SO apparent. it is believed,
that all states will be eager to follow
the lead of the commemorative that
inaugurate the undertaking.
While the proposal for permanent
states exposition here is an old one,
having been discussed for ten years or
longer, the joint effort of the fedora
ton and the state societies marks the
first active move to interest the people
of the several states in the proposition.
1t has been greeted with SO much en-
thusiasm that the local organizations
are convinced the time is ripe to active
ly promote the project, and no stone
will be left unturned in the endeavor to
carry 1t to a successful completion.

Color by Embroidery.

of the brilliant mixture of colors will
be done by embroidery. Whenever an
opposing color is not introduced
through a design woven into the fab
ric. then the French splash on en-
broidery that is copied from any civ
ilization, provided it was not Ammo
Domini.
The sketch given today, which comes
direct from the Maison Drecoll, is of a
gown made for Mile. Massa-t. 1t is of
red Georgette crepe with the sides
pleated from bust to hem. The long
sleeves are gathered into embroidered
cuffs and the fat neck is outlined with
the same handwork.
This embroidery Is OF cut steel, witt
splashes of brilliant dark colors worked
out in silk floss. The design itself is
primitive and immensely effective.

dismissed and old clothes INDUCED In,
until such time as fashion turns to
black. dark blue and white.
Travellers have described the Indian
durbar in just such terms as woman
shopper would describe the counters
full OF new materials. The eye and brain
ache with the clash of colors. judgment
Is suspended, desire is obliterated, and
overstimulation reacts into the dullest
apathy.
Avoiding Gay Colors.
1t is devout wish on the part of ex-
perts that some women will avoid these
bright colors. If there is not a back
ground Of sober black, white or gray.

up. our nation Of women may look like a
human crazy-quilt. It's all very we'll for
the Indians and the Persians to indulge

and also centuries of usage behind
them, which have trained them some
what In the assembling of colors, but
for the American nation to take up in
one fell swoop all the colors of the
Eabylonian and Peruvian dynasties. of
Egypt and China, of the Slavic prov
inces. and of the streets of Bagdad, is a
prospect that makes the teeth chatter.
So far no one Is assisting women to
get away from these bright coiors. The
shops offer them. the dressmakers per-
suade you into them: in fact, the whole
world of fashion wishes them on you, to
use a street phrase.
The woman who may have looked

tinctive among the feminine para
keets. The new French gowns arriv-

for Monte Carlo and Cairo, show these
clashing colors put together in a most
artistic way. Whether or not our ma
ton, which has not been trained in the
assembling Of colors. can follow out
the French combinations is not easy to
say. There Is only one color artist in
1000 women. It Is too, difficult an art
for one to believe that the masses will
catch it up in a few months time. 1t is
not easy to put colors together. to say
nothing of unusual tones that have been
copied from those used in the cradles
Of civilization at a time when dyeing
was in its primitive stages.
