New York.-Paris and Palm Beach
command the attention Of those whose
fortunes are tied up in women's ap-
parel. Paris is more important in q
large sense; Palm Beach in small
er sense. It depends on the view
point.
Paris is exhibiting to the American
buyers the things that we will wear !;
Palm Beach is exhibiting to society
and the fashion reporters those things
that were devised for us to wear as
long ago as the first Of December.
Nearly all Of the fashions that are
worn at Palm Beach have been sketch
ed and detailed, because they were
turned out by American dressmakers
through local inspiration or through
adaptation of early French models
before or just after the Christmas sea-
son.
Therefore, a fashion writer states,
it is more important to dip into the fu-
ture and recount what Paris has shown
to the American buyers. What is now
worn in Palm Beach we will undoubt-
edly wear through the spring, but so
far, in a big season of that resort
there is nothing Of extraordinary orig
inality, and whatever is done has been
foretold and outlined.
The unusual cold, the extraordinary
delays in travelling and the impOssi-
bility of getting ones trunks on time,
have contributed to a state Of irrita.
ton at Palm Beach that one does not
associate with that land of lotus eat
ers and pleasure seekers.
It has been the toss up with the
| pleasure seekers as to whether it was
best to fight out the situation in the
North or go to the evil they knew
not of in the South and the result has
divided the great mass Of moneyed
people into two camps.
The same trouble that confronted
the pleasure seekers in going to Palm
Beach were added thereuntO 100 per
cent for those who went to Paris to
represent our business firms and bring
back the allotment of 1000 gowns,
which we consider a good showing in
this country.
Last fall this allotment fell short
| by 500 gowns, and it is not easy to
say whether the buyer will do better
or worse this season. Cargo space is

France also shows this gown made

a short gray satin pettcoat and topped
by gray satin blouse, with short, tight
sleeves.
hips are not fitted to the figure, I'm
less by one of these Oriental girdles.
While all the skirts are slender,
they give no evidence Of being
stingily cut, that is, they do not out
line the figure by the sheer result Of
scissors and seams. They show the
figure and attain attenuation by means
of drapery that is as difficult as it is
successful.
It is not an easy skirt for the anna
teur, for the bungler or for the talon
who is used to the hot iron, the
straight seam and the large needle.
The Kinds of Material Used.
Jersey cloth is lavishly shown by
every house in Paris. It has large
designs on it and sometimes it is bead
ed in circles and crescents.
The metal tissue with which we have
become so familiar, has been replaced
by a kind Of Egyptian stuff that is
very effective. The simmer of it is
obtained by some process similar to
the one used on the ribbons of six
years ago.
The Thread Lace Dinner Gown.
The half decollete evening gown
continues as the dominant fashion.
We have not yet accepted it whole
heartedly in America, but larger de-
gree of enthusiasm may be shown for
it when the informal social life of
spring and summer begins.
Black tulle, thread lace and lace
f1ounces are constantly shown to the
American buyers in the new evening
gowns. The black tulle is embroider-
ed with roses and large, conspicuous
designs formed of silk thread and
beads.
Thread lace is revived in such
fashion that one believes it was taken
from the shelves of other years and
from the trunks of other decades.
Palm Beach has already started to
wear Chantilly lace, and it is more
than probable that America will go
in for lace season.
The dressmakers do not care for this
fashion as much as one would expect,
for they have to deal with the diff
cult problem Of using their best Gus
toners old laces. 1t is not a task
for a civil engineer to make f1ounces
into modern clothes, but such an ex-
pert seems to be necessary when one
is asked to turn berthas, old lace
frocks, scarfs and dolmans into a
gown that is as modern as tomorrow.
The moment one suggests flounces,
the average mind gets a quick vision
of fullness, Of skirts that flare, but
this vision should be instantly eclipsed
by another which shows that every
thing is scanty and nothing allowed
to flare.
When lace fiounces are used today
they are put over slim foundations,
and they may soften a harsh out
line, but do not contribute much to it's
width.
Black tulle gowns haye these thread
lace founces on them and they are
draped over excessivel. narrow forms
of black satin, and if there is any ten
dency on the part of the lace to fling
itself out in defiance of the new sill
houette, it is promptly suppressed by
band of jet or embroidery which
tucks it under the hem of the lower
skirt and keeps it in order.

The Dividend" Is a Powerful Dramatic Story of 0pium Ring and High Finance.

"The Dividend which will be shown with a good comedy is a dramatic story of much merit and deals with both high finance and the opium traffic. Opium dens in their hideous reality are shown.
 This story revolves about the activi- ties of a money -grubbing multmillion- aire who with one hand takes from the poor and with the other gives, and whose whole motive in life is the ac- quisition of money and dividends for his investors.
 At a stockholders meeting he prom ses unprecedented dividends at the end of the fiscal year. This promise he makes good, but only through the reduction of wages and an increase in rentals on the company's tenement property.
 This capitalist reaps another dividend upon which he had not counted. His son, whom he had neglected in his mad pursuit of profits, has become an opium fiond and sinks to the lowest depths of degeneracy. There are other dividends that this capitalist and his cotere of financicrs had not bargained for and which could not be totaled in dollars and cents. but had totaled count less thousands of human wrecks and untold misery
 The conclusion of the story follows out the natural laws of retribution

Canada Is Breeding Buffalo

An Advisory Board on Wild Life Protection has recently been ap- pointed by the Canadian government, and special efforts will be made to preserve the furbearing animals and big game that constitute the chief natural resources of the Northwest territories.
 In this connection 1t is interesting to learn that more than 5000 head of bisons are now under govern ment protection in Canada. These include about 2,400 in the herd, or iginally of 750 head, purchased in the United States in 1907 and kept in the Buffalo park at Wainwright, Alberta; and wild herd of about 500 in the Peace River region southwest of Great Slave Lake.
