All Ages in Waistcoats
France has a canny way of keeping
fashion behind her back after it has
once been refused, and then bringing
it out ir the other hand and putting
it before the public in slightly al
tered phase. She usually succeeds in
this trick.
There is no doubt that she has had
success in passing the waistcoat from
one season to another, for if she knows
what American women are wearing
she must be delighted that her little
garment, filched from the two l. volu-
tions can be found wherever new
clothes for women are sold.
There are waistcoats of pique, and
there are waistcoats of splendid Chi

Paris. The cables and letters told
everyone who was concerned about
French fashions that the incoming of
this garment leading fashion had
been decided by most of the smart de-
