NEW COAT OF MAIL
Entire Tunics of furnished Silver,
Dropped From Neck to Knees.
Warrior-Like Corsage Is Embroidered
With Pearls, BrilIiants and Flashes
OF Steef-Jewei Headdress.

Not only Cheruit, but many othel
French dressmakers, have lent theil
ear to making q pronounced fashion
out or silver tissue. Two years ago
observes a prominent writer, we grew
excessively weary of evening gowns
made of superimposed pieces of tulle
on metallic foundation, and wien the
thought of silver and gold tissue pre-.
sents itself as fashion, we turn away
from it in a petulent manner.
But wait! This revival of a coat of
mail Tor women, the warriors uniform
OF ancient days which no modern fight
er would touch, is another and a more
pleasing thing than. the evening gown
Of metallic cloth.
Entire tunics, in the twelfth cen.
fury fashion, are made of furnished
silver dropped from neck to knees. or
longer. over skirts Of blood red or mid
hight blue satin or velvet. Except for
the costliness of the material. the tn
MICS have all the simplicity of primi-
tive dressing. Their introduction into
the early spring fashions has brought
about quantity of silver used in ey
cry way.
Nine. Simone of the Theater An
tome in Paris, is wearing, l hear. q
WONDERFUL gown which is being copied
Tor this country. 1t is of silver cloth
faced with red, hanging in panels on
the ground over slim, tight skirt that
clings to the figure as she walks. The
warrior-like corsage is embroidered
with pearls, brilliants and flashes of
cut steel. To it she adds a warriors
headdress made of the same jewels as
In the corsage and mounted on silver
cloth.
Wherever silver can be f1icked in |
and out of frock to enliven it, the |
designer loses no chance of trying out |
her ingenuity through this channel.
When she abondons the Russian blouse
OF gold and bronze metallic cloth.
which drops over a skirt of bronze
satin, she takes the same material and
uses 1t in bands, cuffs and high, wrink-
ed collars that enclose the chin like
I fence.
1t is a strange idea, this bringing
'ut of new coat of mail for women
Is the spring approaches. Is IL q rec
ignition Of their first victory toward
suffrage and the fact that they may
re counted as warriors today in civic,
lational and war work?

woman finds it difficult to adhere 70

are assisting the Food Administration
Of st. Mary Parish, in home economic
work. They have been urged to preach
the gospel of Production to every wom-
an in this community.
The farm women are asked to increase
their supply Of poultry, eggs and butter
and to plant war gardens in addition to
the field crops of the farm. The pro-
duction from these gardens should be
large enough to supply their personal
needs throughout the year and provide
surplus for sale to the canning plants
or retail markets.
The women of the city have also been
appealed to for cooperation in planting
backyard gardens or any other activity
whieh would result in food production
or conservation. It has been suggested
that in addition to planting gardens, the
proper care be given them during the
growing season.
