Crepe de chine has had SO many

ture and no one should criticize 1t.
Hundreds OF workers who were con-
tent to receive about dollar day
houses in France are in search OF
other kinds of work which will meet
with their ambition. They have lived
Wen Tor four years, or at least they
have had the money to do it, and it
has aroused their belief in themselves.
II Is not possible for France to pay
auch salaries again. but 1t has created
discomfort throughout all industrial
Channels. and especially among the
Paris girls.
But under these difficulties Paris
worked we'll in fashioning clothes for
the world. The American buyers went
In force and bought literally. The
clothes are coming home, and the
American woman is trying to decide
what she will do about her own ward
robe.
The dressmakers are in two frames
of mind: they expect that large class
Of millionaire war workers to return
to their old pastures and buy hun
Ndreds of gowns for social life, and yet
they fear the luxury tax and the new
loan.
Everywhere one goes dressing is ex-
ceedingly smart. lavish and expensive.
This is a good omen for the dress
makers. but the observer Is not quite
satisfied that 1t is not a phase. 1t may
continue and 1t may not. Much de-
pends on the amount Of money that
each person will have to give to the
government in the next year.
The dressmakers are we'll aware of
these conditions. They are watching
them as anxiously as the captain Of
ship filled with precious cargo
watches the barometer.
1t Is easy to run. over the list of
some things that have been settled by
Paris, and II may help the woman who
is going out fCr new clothes. She must.
be well aware that the American
world Is still dominated by what
Paris says, although we have formed
our own opinion about things in a
surprisingly authoritative manner
since 1915.
One of the significant things to
dressmakers and probably to- the
American woman in the new fashions
that arrive from France, Is that the
skirts are shorter than they were
last year.
You may remember that America
elected to wear long skirts last year

New Collar Fabrics.

THERE was a time, long years ago.
when we used to wear high, stiff
fensd collars of velvet and satin and
silk. We considered those fabrics
velvet and satin and silk--quite the
fabrics for collars in those days.
Then, when collarless frocks came
in. we wore collars of white wash
fabrics, organdy and muslin of various
sorts. For. of course. though our
frocks were collarless, they had col
lars just the same. That is, there
were turned back and rolled over
collars. even more important than the
high ones that hugged and marred
our necks used to be So we ran
along for years with collars and other
sorts of neckwear of organdie and net
and lace
Then. again. satin came into being
as neckwear fabric In first favor.
And colored muslins of various sorts
were also used.
And now there are even some other
unusual materials in vogue for col
lars.
One is scrim. of heavy. coarse
weave, embroidered. which is used on
some of the frocks of serge and sat
Chinese silk-that is to say. silk or
satin much embroidered in the Chi
nese fashions another fabric now
used for collars ON serge frocks.
Needless TO say, this doesn't mean that
IL you happen to have bit of such
silk on hand YOU can simply pin il
deftly around the neck OF your new
blue serge frock and think you have
a collar of the most up-to-date sort.
No: but your dressmaker can use a
bit OF this silk for such u purpose by
cutting 1t properly. And very prob
ably she Will reiterate the same coll
ors in some embroidery or other part
of the frock.

and all her smart women have in
sisted upon ankle length. They say
they have no intention of changing
this. and at the fashionable gather
ings in Washington during January
there were skirts worn at luncheons
that trailed the ground back and
front.
The smart designers stopped making
short skirts even for the street six
months ago. and dance gowns have
not been above the instep since last
October. and the dignified ones always
boasted Of short train.
Paris made her skirts shorter.

w e are at the turn of the tide
AN/ In fashion. France did her
v very best this year, and
although she had the glory
Of victory in her heart and freedom
from air raids and bombs, she strug-
gled with other difficulties which had
nothing to do with courage, but were
brought about through deficiency of
labor.
Paris is by no means normal indus
trially or commercially. With the best
intentions in the world it is not pos
sible to get at once the same amount
and class Of labor that could be had
before the war.
There Is unrest there, as here. Those
who have received artificial salaries

shares honor with the straw braid.
The designers have gone back far into
history to get this suggestion for
novel kind Of ornamentation.
Before Cromwell 1t was considered
quite new and brilliant fashion to
trim ones clothes with colored straw,
which proves that human nature has
always delighted in raising the com
monplace to the pinnacle of fashion
every once in while. although the
public usually remembers the act only
in connection with Marie Antoinette
and her dairy clothes.
The dark blue serge frocks which
have come from Paris are trimmed
with cherry red straw as an example
Of our modern usage of 1t.
A cape of serge is faced with it. The
cape goes with a gown that has no
trimming whatever but a straw belt.
V-shaped collar of straw and a tiny
vest of cherry chiffon which is fin
ished at its top edge with bow knot
of the gay straw strands.
CapeS are to be so entirely fashion
able that the dressmakers had to
think up something to make them un-
usual, and they seemed to play up to
colored straw in connection with them
as IA chance Of getting novelty. There
are pale gray capes faced with green
straw with three rows of it running
about the hem and outlining the
Arabian hood at the back.
Crepe de chine and foulard are re-
tanned by the French for the spring
and summer clothes. but they are han
died in a brilliant way and are often
splashes of gorgeous colors.
True, there is a black and white
figured foulard which is made into an
extremely good-looking French gown
which one might think demure be-
cause Of its coloration, but black and
white can become as conspicuous as
red and purple. and probably more so.
This figured foulard could not pass
in a crowd without catching the at
tention OF every eye. 1t Is figured in
a manner that suggests the costumes
of the fifteenth century court testers.
1t Is made In straight line from
shoulder TO ankle. where II suddenly
grows excessively narrow.

America refused them. Then Paris
heightened her skirts in December for
her fashionables. Now she sends us
history Of Civilized fashions. " ~
One need not even use the word civ
ilized. The savages who wore any
garments never adopted such short
skirts as Paris has launched this
that some OF them are not more than
tive inches below the knee. These
have been sent to America to some
exclusive women who order their
clothes DIRECT from France. and they
are included In the first of the Paris
brought over.
Now what are we going to do about
it? 1t is pretty question: 1t is prob
ably the biggest struggle that has
countries In the line of clothes.
If the American women adopt skirts
that are five inches below the knee
and wear them in the French manner,
with slippers instead Of high shoes,
there will be a protest from pulpit
press and the critical public that will
reach hurricane power.
That the Paris women should wear
these skirts directly after the day the
armistice was signed is symboltcal of
an eccentricity whenever there is
vast upheaval in its politics, which 1t
would take historian to explain. All
the dress student knows is that Paris
has done 1t ever since there We're wars
and rumors of war.
1t is a wonder that she did nothing
more extravagant that cut her skirts
off to the knees. We are told that the
actually conservative women Of Paris
go about with their silk clad legs ex-
posed from ankle nearly to knee. and
that their capes and topcoats of furs
have been cut the same length as
their skirts. and this in day when
taxis are not to be procured and pri.
vate automobiles have not been rein-
stated.
There Is no going back OF the I'M
portance Of the struggle that Is al
ready started in the arena Of fashions
between the two dominating countries
concerning the length Of the skirt.
We will all watch II with interest. 1t
has been found that the women who
pay very little for their clothes and
buy new ones often are the ones to
take up the very short skirt.
Not only are the skirts shorter than
they were last fall In Paris, but they
are very tight, draped up in front In

HUN PROPAGANDA
REGARDING YANKS
PLAIN FICTION
Amusing Stories of Unusual
PuniShmentS Inflicted on
Germans Circulated by Pa
perS Outside of Rhine Zone,
(Assoclated Press Correspondence. }

Coblenz. May 3.-Some fantastic fic-
ton is published in German newspa-
pers by writer's from Frankfort and
Leipsic who have visited Coblenz and
returned home to write whatever they
may please about the American army.
Many of the stories they tell are new
to the officers of the Third army who
count them as German propaganda.
One writer of long article in the
Leipsic paper dealing with life in
Coblenz relates alleged instances of
ridiculous sentences imposed upon
Germans by the American army
courts. In one case he says that the
wife of government official, AN
noyed on the street by drunken SOL
der, exclaimed in her anger: If only
all the Americans would go to the
devil!'" The military court. he says,
punished her for this religious wish
by sentencing her to appear every
morning for thirty days at the head
quarters OF the commanding officer
and repeating to those present the
phrase: Il am glad that you are still
here, gentlemen, and it is my wish
that you continue to stay here for a
long while"
This is all news to the American
officers. If any woman appears at
headquarters every morning, the sem
tries on duty there have failed to no.
tice it. 1t is part OF their 'nb to pre-
vent trespassing by Germans at the
main entrance of the Third army
headquarters.
Another fictitious tale narrated by
the Leipsic writer oarouse German
dislike for Americans, deals with a
case in which woman, splashed by
mud from an automobile, calculated,
those dirty American automobiles"
For this the Leipsic Munchausen
AYERS, a military court sentenced her
to climb the fortress of Ehrenbriet-
stein daily at a. m. for thirty days,
carrying pail. scrubbing brush and
securing rag and to clean SIX Ameri-
can automobiles. Upon completion of
this task. he asserted. she was re-
quired to walk back home similarly
equipped.
Another fantastic tale told by the
Leipsic journalist is of a sentence
which he declares was imposed upon
a hotel owner whose nerves could no
longer stand the wild music" pro-
duced by the American bands and
who commented unon it unfavorably.
In punishment, the fiction writer
claimed, the hotel man was sentenced
to march daily for thirty days along
side the band and after its parade to
tell its leader: "Sir. your music pieascs
me to perfection"
American intelligence officers are
endeavoring to ascertain through
what channels the Leipsic correspond
ent obtained the alleged "informa-
ton while in Coblenz, particularly
about the fines and sentences imposed
upon women. Court records do not
reveal any such cases.
