w 7 HERE are the simple gowns
\A/ Of yesteryear? Not in sev-
w eral seasons have we seen
- -.uch trimming - bands Of fur,
touches Of beads. ruffles, buttons,
braids, huge embroidered designs in
heavy voollen threads and glistening,

are the winters gowns ornamented.

Is h vest. During the summer the

little extra waistcoat effect which was
worn on everything from street gown

again. And this winter the vestee Is
perfectly grcgeous.

One such Is of an azure blue bro
cade. thickly encrusted with scrawl
Of gold threads. The collar and
cuffs are simple bands Of the bro
caided material and made to be worn
with any tailored suit which has no
fur trimming. Another beautiful vest
is made OF a combination OF leaf brown
satin and a gold and brown brocade.
The vest has pointed ends like. a
mans waistcoat and little slit pockets
in each side. 1t also has a skeleton
back. which holds 1t in place.
New Box Coats Are Smart.
The new box coats which fit close
up against the throat, fall away from
that to the hips, opening over one OF
these brocaded materials which are
extremely smart. If one wishes to

The Celtic was the first of a long
string of transports coming into New
York in the last week that docked in
the city proper, but the same crowds
which had lined River Street, Hobo

PARIS, Dec. 18.-"President Wilson
made war as an idealist. He will make
peace as a realist."
This phrase crystallizes the change
in the attitude Of french opinion
toward the President. 1t is due to the
careful study of speeches he has made
and the personal impression he has
given during the four days spent here
Before Mr.. Wilson's arrival there
was, as cabled few days ago, dis
-tinct feeling Of nervousness here1as- co
the line he might take IN regard to
several points which must come up -or
settlement in the forthcoming discus
sions between the Allied and American
representatives. in Paris The prin-
cipal of these, of course, are the gues-
tions of the freedom of the seas and
the league Of nations There are also
two or three other potentially thorny
subjects, which need not be mentioned
here, but which will have to be faced
frankly by all concerned.
Harmony Nearer
Opinion here has pondered deeply
on these subjects and in the end the
high sense Of justice and fairness
which is Characteristic of this people
has as usual illumned and stabilized
its mental outlook. There are now
distinct indications that Paris is pre-
pared to a great extent to abandon its
wait and see" attitude, assumed before
the arrival of the President and es-
pecially before his speeches at the
Elys6e and the City Hall.
AS read it, there is a growing feel.
