French women are CARRYING small

The wearing Of scarfs of infinite
variety is another new French idea.
All sorts of garnitures arc used to en-
circle pretty necks. Some are charm
ing, others absolutely grotesque. Wide
strips of ribbon and silk stuffs often
are lined with bright contrasting col
ors. These are wound twice around
the throat and allowed to fall in long
ends. Many tailored gowns and suits
have scarfs of the material attached.
One scarf worn at the Ritz in Paris

Topcoats Are Given
Their Share of Trimming

OPCOATS have not been neglected
this season. They, too, have come in
for their share of trimmings at time
when everybody seems to be quite mad
on the subject Of ornamentation.
Leather and tweed are favorite COM
binations for country wear. Coarse
grained black leather without even a
suspicion of gloss forms volumi-
nous shawl collar, cuff and even ample
patch pockets on a coat of dark gray
leather it is belted high under the
arms; then it flares toward the bottom
after the manner of swagger topcoats.
Smooth red leather trims a motor coat
buttons that fasten it are leather
covered, and this time the leather col
lar and revers swing the pendulum of
fashion in the opposite direction by
being very scanty. The cuffs are un-
usually narrow; in fact, they are little
more than facings To make this over
coat warmer as we'll as smarter it is
given a red cloth lining
Linen of coarse weave is used to
make surplice waistcoats for still
other topcoats Marine blue is the
color most often chosen, and leather
collar and cuff in the same hue is
added. One new motor coat that | saw
was of black and white plaided
worsted. 1t was a loose, baggy affair
with raglan sleeves, and tan leather
faced the collar and cuffs. Another
good looking one was of champagne
colored camels hair cloth--the real
cancels hair cloth which is so difficult
to procure now. The coat was swung
from a deep yoke, and the collar,
which in this instance was of the
cloth, rumpled up around the ears in
becoming folds. Champagne colored
silk with q broad purple stripe made a
striking lining.

The Sub-Deb Assumes
The Carb of Grown-Ups

IND you ever see a little girl who
~ didn't want to dress like grown
ups and who was not always surrep-
titiously borrowing things from her
mothers dressing room to play at dress
up? Even the powder box from the
dressing table is included in the game.
Those who design clothes for little
people have not forgotten their own
childhood They remember that little
girls, even as you and I, have better
dispositions when they are wearing
clothe that they like.
very young lady, say of about five
years of age, could not possibly have
that insignificant feeling which is so
trying when wearing a dolman cape
just like mothers. The one shown at
the left of this page is of buff colored
velour-a nice soft. cuddy, double
faced velour is used for it-and the
Easter bonnet that accompanies it is
of bright red chiffon cloth with lots of
tucks. If you ask any little sub deb
what the trouble with most party
dresses is she will tell you that they
make one feel entirely too dressed up,
and this, of course, is fatal to a good
time For who wants to sit around and
talk and sing and never romp or any
thing?
A party frock that can be played in

used.
Dove-g gray silk made another suit
that had smoke -colored Angora as it's
trimming. Brick red silk was chosen
for cape. A straight strip of the
faille was taken and gathered to a
band of gray Angora. Any one who
can use a needle could easily make such
wrap-and it was SO pretty and eff
fective! The more scrviceable red
velours might be substituted for silk,
or turquoise blue cloth with white

Martial ct Armand, of Paris, have
made a cape for country wear of tur-
quoise blue duvetyn. 1t is rather a
scanty cape that sweeps gracefully
around its slender wearer. Deep rose
satin lines it, and the openings that
serve as armholes are cut in way to
reveal the rosy lining and make a
pleasing color contrast. These armholes
are banded with ever so many tiers of
narrow blue braid. 1t is a fat silk
braid, and the rows are set very closely
together to give the effect of one wide
braid band. The rounding neckline and
the bottom of the wrap are trimmed in
the same way. Another costume to
make nice dash of color on the coun-
try club porch or out on the golf links
is ecpiece suit knitted of brick
red cashmere wool. The chemise dress
is knitted just like a sweater. Marine
blue taffeta binds the inch wide belt
and pipes the neck and sleeves. On

hest big puffy collar of the marine
blue silk that anybody ever saw, and

TO TAKE at least some part in the
arranging of the flowers in your
home is something that will give
you great deal of pleasure. You can
express art III the arrangement of
flowers just as a painter does in pict-
ures, only nature has given you much
more beautiful colors to work with
than can ever be bought in paint tubes.
Don't just put your flowers in vases
and jars, but work with them. Study
them. Look in the queer little shops
tucked away here and there in the side
Some of the best ones are inexpensive.
At the Little Gallery you will find some
charming flower urns.
If you will try studying the arrange
ment of flowers through the blending
of colors you Will find that you are
creating a work of art that will give
you as we'll as others lot Of pleasure.
Until you have practised this little
you may like to know how some of the
best florists are grouping Easter
posies. Wadley & Smythe are using
as flower holders Dutch shoes - just
the wooden sabots painted in soft
blues or pinks. In blue shoe you can
use with beautiful effect some delicate
lavender blossoms such as iris or lace
flowers. Very delicate are these tiny
pale lavender lace flowers that bloom
at the end of slender white spikes
something like the Queen Anne's lace
that we see by country roadsides in
summer. Pink Mignon roses-but only
a few of hem-might be put here and
there among the lavender lace in the
blue sabot. Yellow pansies with cow
slips make another lovely group.
Dclphinium, which is very pale blue
flower, could be charmingly combined
with moss roses.
If you want to send an Easter gift
and be absolutely sure that it will de-
light the recipient choose one Of the
covered market baskets that may be
had from the same florist. They are
just splint baskets painted black, blue,
pink or ivory color. There is no gloss
in the paint so that the colors all melt
together in a misty artistic way.

Uniforms or Frills

@LOIHES reflect current events
and the spirit of the times in
which we live to a greater extent
than appears to the casual observer.
Fashions are now as topsy-turvy as the
rest of the world. Many things are
shown, but few are chosen, so the best
thing we can do is to select the
harmony and that above all are lovely
and feminine.
Let uniforms and mannish dressing
for women be among past evils. 1t
may be that uniforms are inspiring to
feminine wearers- people think so
but why be inspired to be an eff
cient machine? Who wouldn't prefer
the inspiration that comes from frills
and furbelows? If woman is beautl-
fully and becomingly dressed she has
that soul gratifying assurance that
comes with the knowledge that she is
looking her best, and she is possessed
of something akin to the faith that
removes mountains. There is no doubt
about it-pretty clothes make us cheer
full and happy and charming.
There are ever so many new French
ideas that we can use in making our
spring frocks smart and bloomington
instance, the little undersleeves of
white null that peep from beneath
short, tight sleeves of either silk or
serge dresses are beautiful. Many of
these haze pcot finished frills of the
null set on fatty, and sometimes these
frills are edged with real lace.
Worth showed Directoire gowns of
silk with tiny underslceves, and often
matching treatment was carried out
in the rounding neck line. Here little
gilet of null was edged with one of
these perky futed frlls that barely
showed itself from beneath the cloth
Short wasted dresses of taffeta are
corded both at the waistline and
rounded neck, and sometimes at the
bottom of the sleeves as we'll. Several
of these dresses have small Directoire
capes to complete them. Such capes
are cut short in the front and longer in
the back

that make our clothes distinctive.
We choose from the hundreds of ac-
cessorles offered the ones that mean
most of us and thereby make our dress
ing individual. 1t is better to be a bit
daring in our selection of these things.
even at the expense of an occasional
misS@se, than to be just a blind fol-
lower after fashion, Perhaps by try
ing some effects that are entirely your
own you may become an originator of
fashions. There is plenty of oppor-
tunity to be original, for medley of
ideas has been launched in the world
of clothes. We in this country are
prone to follow all too blindly in mat
ters of costumery. The real secret of
beautiful dressing is in knowing how
to modify a fashion. Do let us be
bit original after getting our inspira-
ton and express ourselves in our dress.

F allie and Angora
Unite for Sport

WHY faille silk should be selected
as a material from which to evolve
sports clothes is bit difficult to saw.
especially when there are so many
beautiful silks Of rough weave that are
made for nothing but this type of
dress. However, the fact remains that
fallle and Angora have formed an ALI
ance to make some sports clothes SO
good looking that we scarcely dare
question their practicability. One suit
that | saw was OF buff colored faille
and had bands Of brushed Angora
down either side of the skirt. from
waistband to hem. The Angora, which
was light brown in color, encircled the
bottom of the short box coat and
formed a scarf collar just like the

wear strictly talor-madc things and
practical enough to adapt itself to any
hour of the day. Wide box plaits of the
cloth that hang loose except where they
are caught at the ncckline and under
meath the hem at the bottom Of the skirt
are a new feature. The round neckline
appears in this model and it is softened
by rolling collar of white silk.
Venetian red buckles are used to fas-
ten the belt, which is somewhat wider
than is usually worn on gowns Of this
type. The cape is made like those
just described, which curve shorter in
front, and it is slit for armholes at
either side. White satin is used for
its lining. Many of these capes shown
at the French openings were lined
with cotton fabrics. Old-fashioned
white cross barred muslin frequently
was used to line both capes and coats.
