No Boycott on Taffeta.

1t seems, from a few of the French
gowns that have been built for the
new spring season, that taffeta will
not be boycotted. The American pub
lie has grown weary Of this fabric,
but again that French persistency that
runs through their dressmaking world
has caused them to send up trial bal
looms in this fabric.
They do not build an entire gown OF
taffeta this season. They make 1t the
opaque touch to transparent frOck
of the new embroidered silk tulfe
which has leaped into high fashion
with lace. They make bodice of this
opaque silk. primitive, medieval In
it's simplicity, introduce bit of the
silk tulle at the girdle, cut the peplum
of the bodice very short in front, and
let it drop over a slim, slightly gath
cred skirt of the embroidered net
AS sashes are part and parcel of many
of the frocks, the designer will take
two long, bias ribbons Of the taffeta,
knot them together at the waist and
again at the knees, and drop them
down the side of the skirt as a floating
panel

HAT LINES MUST BE SMART
Designers Apparently Deduce That the
More Peculiar the Brim, the
Smarter the Headeear.

In the Paris shops are shown many
satin hats, extremely small models
that are excellent for spring wear.
They have satin trimming, if they have
any-for the lines of the hats are what
make them smart, writes Paris cor
respondent.
Two exceptionally pretty chapeaux
were seen recently. One was of black
milan straw with satin brim in mill
tary blue; the only establishment was
supplied by grOsgrain ribbon and
black ostrich. The ribbon bow was
made in tiny loops and ends, and was
placed at the back of the hat, little
to the side. The ostrich was at the
extreme left edge of the brim, in front
The other model had a black lisere
brim and very high black taffeta
crown. The crown band which ended
in a bow in the back-at the center OF
the back-was of French blue ribbon,
finished in front with knot of French
flowers.
There are many quaint twists in the
brim of hats. The designers seem to
feel that the more peculiar the brim
the smarter the hat. Ribbon Is used
extensively and oh, so many flowers.
We have rose toQues, violet toques and
many other kinds, and this revival Of
French flower hats has helped to re.
yive our flower industry and for tbis
we are duly grateful. ...

New Idea in Sports Apparel.

parel is the square-cut coat of white
or light-colored fabric, topping a dark
striped or checked skirt.
The sketch illustrates very smart
sports suit for summer wear. The
skirt is of black and white striped
satin, and the coat is of plain white
heavy satin, with scarf collar faced in
black. Tiny turn-back cuffs of black
finish the plain sleeves, and large black
satin-covered buttons fasten the coat.
The skirt of this suit is laid in box
plaits., Black and white satin ribbon
might be attractively and conven-
iently used for this purpose, the seams
necessary to join the ribbon strips be-
ing concealed by the overlapping
plaits.
The coat has been christened the
pony" coat, and In various forms it is
made part of many spring suits de-
veloped in one fabric only. Sometimes
the coat reaches only to the hips and
is open in front to admit gay-colored
vest or vestee, and again it is long
enough to be used as a separate sports
coat. Straightness Of line is its inva-
riable rule.

London. From the very outset it has

There was a murmur of remon.
STRANGE. Mrs. Britt heard 1t, and she
flashed look about her. But when
she spoke again it was to Mrs Farlow
she spoke.
Think Of Your Son.
You're not the only mother in this

about yourself you'd be doing some
thing You'd be helping your son, for
one thing!"
"Why, what do you meanY" gasped
Mrs. Farlow.
Mrs. Britt smiled another adamant,
icy smile.
Your son wouldn't die for want Of
care. Any one of those bandages I've
seen you ruin might save his life. ANY
one Of them might save the life of
some other mothers sonw
Mrs. Farlow shrank as If she had

The silence, the grim reserve, which
had cloaked Mrs. Britt seemed for a

she said, her fiinty voice biting out the
words. Il had one, but he died at
Guantanamo. 1t was In the Spanish
war;" snapped Mrs. Britt, "and there
we're no bandages-nothing. That's
why he died. That's why I'm here
now. It's to keep other women-moth-
ers-from becoming the sort of woman

her. "Oh, | know what you think of
me. I've heard what you said. Well"
said Mrs. Britt, -my son wouldn't have
died like that maybe IL / hadn't sat
around shifting and snufling, never
doing a thing"
Then, her lips drawn into a bony
smile, she glanced about her once
more and stalked back to her place In
the corner.
That night Mrs. Farlow rose from
her place at the bandage table and
sought the table at the back. For the
first time that day Mrs. Farlow had
managed to create half dozen band
