Women Unwilling to Spend Time
in Pursuing Styles.
What Madame Does Seek for and viii
Have Is q Certain Distinction
Of Model.

A study of the lines of three late
models from Paris leads one to the
conclusion that the most marked vari.
alton from the lines of previous frocks
Is the widened effect or bulge of ma
terial below the elbow. II may be
quite truthfully said that this charac-
teristic and the easy line at the waist
are the two points most noticeable in
the new frOcks OF the best makers,
also of the frocks actually worn by the
best dressed women on this side of
the water.
Women are so extremely independ-
ent nowadays. writes fashion CORE
spOndent, that the nrbiters of fashion
are finding difficulty in imposing any
one style definitely for season. While
women are still quite willing to be
well dressed, with all that such an in.
elusive term implies, they are not will.
ing to spend all their time I'm chasing
elusive fnds and freaks of fashions. A
few slight changes gradually wrought
are all the dictatOrs can hope for. At
the same time what madame does seel,
for and will have Is certain distinc-
ton of model and perfection Of
workmanship that lesser mortals can.
not hope tn attain.
Certain changes In styles are said to
he In the course of construction, but,
In spite of all secrecy, we are fairly
well aware of what we are to expect
and with our new found freedom are
inclined to take the news calmly.
The changes foreshadowed are usti.
ally not so extraordinary after all,
when we come to find out what they
are, for the real changes are the ones
we unconsciously feel ourselves ready
TO put into practice.
If the supposed changes really take
place we shall take on the shape of In.
verified pyramids, the widest part at
the top. The woman of good taste,
however, has these lines modified to
point where they are neither outre
nor disfguring.
Fortunately the lines proposed are
susceptible Of great deal of beauty
IL treated with moderation and It must
he admitted II great deal Of skill. Mar
row skirts and drapcry are not easy,
and wide effects above and about the
waist are not always becoming to the
figure.
Seemingly the coming styles cannot
fail to please most of us. however. for
adaptubility and suitability are both
terms which can be applied to them.
Skirts shown In the early spring IRE
evidently going to be continued
through the season. They may be ei.
their piquant and saucy or dignlied
and stately, according to the wenrer
and her tastes. We have from time to
time been hearing about skirts lifted
or pulled up ut the front, or just each
side of II, but either these skirts did
not appeal or we are to hear from
them later. The skirt lifted up ut the
back has taken better with the well.

The drapery caught ut the back mar,
rows the line gracefully at the feet,
and for the young woman, trinc

Washable Walls,

Why should children prefer to write
on immaculate walls rather than on
writing paper? Because, first, their
mothers caution them not to do it, and,
second, because the walls are whittier
and the writing looks better on them
than IL does on paper. But the time
has come when the mother need fear
for the white nursery walls no longer.
They can indeed, be changed from a
source Of irritation to education
al purposes by means Of finish which
makes them washable. In other words
all pencil, crayon and pen marks may
be washed away. Consequently, the
wall surface Is as good u place for
drawing pictures or making examples
as blackboard. Although the finish
Is intended primarily for the walls of
the nursery, IL may be used In the
kitchen, living room or other part of
the house where children are wont to
try out artistic ability on the walls.
The finish may be In any one Of q
number of different shades.
