over usage, but the Americans who
were in France all summer found that
it was strongly entrenched in fashion
Great houses made use of it. At the
exhibitions of new clothes the plume
was used as lavishly as though 1t were

chicken feathers, it is true-a rather

ing together throughout all the phases
of the new fashions.
Started by an Opera.
This fashion was started in France
by the presentation Of an opera in
which much plumage was worn, Some
where, in the attics of Paris, there
must have been stored a vast amount
of ostrich feathers in all colorS, for,
while Paris admitted itself short on
many materials, it has been lavish
with plumes for two years and was
last summer.
They disported themselves over thin
materials. they rivaled the ROSTERS
tail in holding up the drapery OF gor-
geous evening gowns, they were con-
verted into headdresses that might
have been worn by Semiramis.
Under this pressure America be-
with a new enthusiasm. 1t found
out that it was not a passing phase
Of fashion. It discovered that the
best dresSmakerS in the world were
advocating this plumage. Therefore,
evening frocks began to appear with
f1ecks of ostrich cascaded over the
surface and ostrich fringe hanging
from the edges Of ruffies and evening
wraps.
Arranged Like Bursting Bombs.
It may be reminiscent OF the raids
over Paris that the ostrich feathers
are arranged to look like bursting
bombs. Masses of small feathers or
three or four long ones with uncur1ed
f1ues are arranged in an outburst of
movement and color, and these
groups are placed over the surface of
a skirt and sometimes a bodice.
of Ncopying Ina Claire's clothes, and
she has introduced fashions that
have become as, thoroughly familiar
to the American public as those worn
by Irene Castle-and who could say
more? When Ina Claire wore the
long skirt tightly pulled back over
the hips and arranged in a hustle at
skirts all over the American conti-
nent
In her new play she wears a gown
which has received a bombardment of
ostrich feathers. It is shown in the
sketch. The material is nile green
tulle dropped over satin. The lower
skirt is edged with ostrich fringe
made from uncurled dues. and the full
skirt is covered with groups Of far
ing feathers in nile greece. There is
a black velvet belt caught at one
side with an outburst OF feathers
The bodice is quite simple, with its
short sleeves and low neck.
The choice Of green tulle for this
frock brings to the public's attention
the alluring qualities of this color
and starts a campaign for it among
those whose eyes permit the wearing
of the green.
