The city clocks were striking
When l saw a lovely maid
Stroll proudly from a bonnet shop
in smart attire arrayed.
! hastened to the hat shop man,
who is that striking creaure?.
"You said il" was his prompt reply,
With rage in every feature.
you've said It in those very words,
There's nothing more to say,
She's my most striking model
And she's gone on strike today"
New York, Nov. Now that life
is just one strike af;er another, fol-
lowers of fashion are doing pretty
well to keep clothed sufficiently to
stay in the procession at all without
shifting attire to fit the modes Of
the moment. Strikes of longshore-
men, miners and milkmen sing in to
merest insignificance when such tru-
ly appalling strikes are on like those
Of the spangle sewers, garment fit
ters or milliners, male and female.
A spangle sewers strike would be
particularly narrowing just at the
moment since all the newest evening
creations seem to consist merely Of a
Ginning spangle cuirass or stomacher
held in suspense by strand of beads
over each shoulder and down to the
belt in back. The skirts are mere
pillows of air tulle with particular
emphasis and billows laid on the hips.
All black dance frocks on this order
developed in Jet and black tulle are
the most popular of the lot but vivid
creations in cerise, jade, gold and
silver are guaranteed to turn our
bathrooms into replicas Of scenes from
Zeigfeld's Follies at its best.
These newest tulle and spangle
evening creations are making good
on the baekless rumors we had from
paris all least summer for the only
backing you nave when you don one
Of these is the financial backing
necessary to pay for it. In its mel'
ger spangled bodice and fluffed ma
line skirts you are all set for bare
back act save for the horse and
you're sure to be a little hoarse your
self ere the evening is spent.
Naturally these backless gowns cry
loudly for accompanying scarfs for
warmth's sake if not for modestys
and wonderful are the elaborate con-
fections of lace or metallic and silk
embroidefy, ffui2 trimmed ~beaded
fringed and hand-dyed that are Of
fered up to drape the fair but freez-
ing revelations of the barebaeked
beauties.
Gaby Deslys brought over one for
every gown, each dream Of beauty
and lavish handwcrk more ornate
and artistic than rhe other. This
year indeed she seems TO be making
a collection Of scarfs rather than
pearls.
Spanish mantillas in white or black
are very much used as scarfs and SO
mailer gayly embroidered Spanish
and Chinese shawls of silk crepe
heavily fringed are also most effec-
tive. Oriental scarfs heavy with me-
tallic embroidery, lined with softest
puffed chiffon, lest they scratch a
bit. are most opulent looking, banded
with rich fur and entire all-over span
gled lengths to match the palette
bodice Of your gown are radiant be-
y8nd words.
Feather fans are more enormous
than ever this season and make most
effective notes of color against black
or light frocks when they are of
some vivid and hectic shade them
selves. The sombre plumes of the
black feather fan are of course stun
ming with any color There is a
strong suspicion however, that a new
