weary of the Futuristic designs, as they have
been commended in these silks to an alarming
degree. The Italian stripping is preferred, es-
pecially when used as SASH as a turnover
collar or as facings to the wide Italian sleeves
that the French designers have pressed upon
their public.
BY the way, why does not somebody revive
the old Roman sash? The ribbons worn by the
Neapolitan women also strikrgly lovely.
They could be combined with white Georgette
crepe, with khaki and oyster colored Shantung
and with white and cream satin frocks in such
way that a decidedly good accent would be
given to summer apparel.
The kind of flannel that we once wore is re-
vived in white, plaid and colors, and not only
for jackets and suits, but it may be for petit
coats, if this weather keeps up.
Two years ago Jeanne Lanvin quilted bits of
satin and dashed them on frocks. She also put
slipper pockets skirts, collars on coats and
a band at the foot of a narrow skirt. These
bits of quilting were not especially noticed as
the procession Of fashions went by, but they
made deep impress upon the other French
designers, and hear from Paris that half the
smart women one sees quilting their satin.

jersey shows a cream or oyster white back
ground with large and rather grotesque or
nament woven into it or applied by means of
small beads.
Many of these gowns have been made, but
few should be chosen. A white Jersey frock
which has enormous interlaced circles of black
silk touched off with beads cannot enhance the
physical appearance CT any woman Mate
lasse and the Rodier jersey, with it's raised,
stamped figure, also stand high in fashion.
All the Chinese fabrics have been reinstated.
Shantung in it's khaki color has again been
found an admirable material, especially when
its dulness is enlivened by bit of Natter
blue, deep scarlet and sometimes with COM
bination of black and orange.

Spring Frocks for the Little Folk

The child's frock illustrated on this mage
IS typical of the loose, sensible and becoming
clothes which are to be had for children at
the present time. 1t is constructed of hlue
linen, with guimpe of white lawn. The
gumpe idea is particularly we'll adapted to

in washing bills which it makes possible. r.

frock is touched with black in an original wav.
1t has black ribbon over each shoulder.
like the cords of peasant yoke for carrying
two buckets These ribbons are passed
through Sits in the linen and hang to the hem
of the frock, where they finish in tassels An
other note of black appears in the embroidery
at the neck
A pretty fashion for spring for little girls
consists in making little suit of their linen
frocks by the addition of linen coat of the
same color as the dress. A straight model,
fastened at the neck with a black ribbon in
stead OF buttons and buttonholes, would be
charming with this. A turnover collar and
turned-back cuffs of the white lawn would add
touch of smartness. A very economical
mother might have two little dresses for one

Gayly Printed Crepes and Silks

Georgette crepe has powerful position. 1t
has taken on a bit of kinship to the en-
broidered jersey by having stamped circles or
interlaced rings dripping across its surface. 1t
comes in odd colors of light blue with rings of
deeper blue.
Brilliantly printed silks, usually of Ameri

1t is khaki-colored, and the collar is Natter
blue. The sash is finished with blue silk tassels,
and there is chemisettc of tulle. Notice tho
short, elbow sleeves.
Chains Of brilliant quartz or carved opaque
stones drop over the plain, tight blouses in the
early Italian fashion. Sleeves are sometimes
latticed, as they were in the days when CHR
landaio painted the lovely Giovanni Tornibuoni

March will decide the issue between the two
fashions. America is evidently striving to pro-
duce silhouette of her own, and she is trying

a straight, narrow skirt and a short Elton

such jacket. She is destroying all severity

lea? Has it anything to do with Paris? Is it
q makeshift or determined effort to change
what has been into something that has been
dropped?
The Paris doors are opening this week to
the few American buyers that have crossed the
ocean, and the sketches of the new gowns, as
they have been outlined in Paris, do not lead
one to suppose that there is any shifting of
fashion over there from a severe, straight sill
houette to a Dolly Warden kind of thing that
is utterly unbecoming to the American woman
and has nothing in common with her stern
activities in wartime.
Over there, Bulloz who has had dominat-
ing influence on clothes for three years, has
thrown his cap over the windmill and gone in
for the Directore. This is fashion that the
American woman wears in a manner peculiar
~ suitable to her figure and personality.
Paquin, Cheruit and several of the other big
houses show leaning toward the fourteenth
century Italian efforts in dress.
Sleeves fit the at the top and branch
out into wide cuffs or flares that are lined
with brilliant, striped silks, and the elongated
dccolletage that shows the neck only as far as
the .collarbone is quite severe edged with an
outstanding ruchc Of white tulle or organdy.

silk, generously stitched with tan and worn

model shows you that the blouse is a mere vest
and that the suit is really frock, which has
succeeded in fooling you and is very proud
of it.
1t is the broad belt which puts body and soul
together. This girdIe is cleverly contrived to
slip under the long facings ornamcnted with
stitching, which give graceful lines of slender
ness to this design. These facings are good
place for the establishment which is being lay
lshed on many models which are arriving from
France. 1t is said that this has been done
deliberately to give employment to the "brol-
deuses," who were threatened with famine I'M
less the dressmaking houses provided for
them. 1t would be pity to allow the lovely
art to die, and to let all the trained women
spoil their hands in munition work. SO the
dressmakers are embrodering simple frocks'

T<HAT large segment Of people on this
continent called society, which means
those who have money to indulge in
what they wish to do, has been unable to de-
eide between two problems.
They did not know whether it was best to
fight out the cold of heatess houses in the
North or to take their chances of getting South
within few days after they started. Each
case brought its train of evils. Each situation
was full of discomfort.
The majority of them shrugged their Shout
ders with the trick trying to learn from
the French and used the phrase that has be-
come incorporated in our language, "Dans la

The sweeping adjustment of the railroads
brought disorganization for while, as all re-

Calico and Other Spring Fabrics

The Southerners make their cotton frocks at
home, for they have skilled dressmakers
among the colored people, who have done this
kind of work for generations, and the word to
the wise in these days of conservation is that
calico and other ten and fifteen cent materials
should be made up at home. There are plenty
OF patterns in this country, and good ones, too.

Cheering, CoIorful HeadgeM

The spring frocks may be slim, straight,
devoid of trimming and either neutral colored

When spring days fall upon the
screen,
And all the fields arc ROBBED in
green;
While we enjoy the morning breeze,
And birds are singing in the trees.
'Tis then we look for April rain.
That falls upon the sprouting grain
Then catch sweet scents Of new mown
hay.
In the beautiful month Of May.
And when the summer days begin.
The month Of June is urshered in,
It comes with fragrant flowers rare,
When sweet perfume floats in the
air,
And then the month Of hot July,
When cooler days have drifted by.
While August follows ia its train,
With harvest fields Of ripened
grain
We greet September coming on,
After the summer months are gone
And thru its pleasant days we share,
The gentle breeze and balmy air.
And in October we may see,
The tint Of gold on every tree,
And when November makes her call,
The autumn leaves begin to fall.
And as tho wintry days draw nigh,
The withered leaves will droop and
die,
Then comes December bleak and cold,
To close the year that's growing
old.
The Dahlia and the blghted rose,
Lie dormant thru the drifting
SHOWS.
There to await returning spring,
When they'll revive and birds will
sing.
