FURs AND FEATHERS.

From the dawn OF human history,
furs and feathers have been used to
satisfy our taste and need for clothing
and adornment. our most primitive
ancestors were connoisseurs in the
plumage of birds and the pelts q,
animals and admired them for their
possibilities in furnishing himself and
his family with raiment and adorn..
ment, and so do we.

seasons, feathers are to be used with.
lavishness for hat trimmings, and per-.
haps because of the increased price of
good furs feathers are to be used some,
times where otherwise fur would have
been used. Sometimes we find a row
OF fluffy ostrich tips forming the collar.
of a cape or cosey lounging robe, and
there are bands Of ostrich or swans
down on evening gowns and capes
where otherwise we would have found
fur. en-
In spite of the increased price Of fur
coats there is every reason to believe
that they will be sold in as large num-,
bers as ever, and surely those that
are now ready for the autumn months
are very tempting. A luscious coat
of seal shows by way of a new touch
a belt of colorful ribbon. Other
models have ribbon belts. and if you
are having your old fur coat made
over you might likewise have ribbon

fourrageres around their shoulders,
their breasts covered with ribbons and
medals, are the men who give added
significance to the dancing. They have
left the guns to tread a measure, and
they swing themselves violently into
the American jazz as though they were
going over the top and into the Prus-
sian Guard.
Socially speaking, there has been
nothing else but dancing in the way
of amusement since the first of Janu-
airy. One danced at teas, at weddings,
at christenings, between the courses

peace, as there was no one person who
dominated Paris just before the war.
1t is the day of mass movement in
society as in other things. II is
shown In clothes. For instance, at all
these dances there is no one uniform
style of dressing. The one originality
brought to the situation is the bathing
suit, with its splendid Arabian wrap
and sandalled feet, which is worn at
the beach dances. 1t would not be
surprising IL something would come
out of this new pastime.
At the other dances there is a ten
dency toward chain mail frocks or
those OF brilliant silver tissue. The
change in the skirt is not a novelty to
Americans, for 1t shows the immen se
bulges on each side, over the hips,
with fiat back and front. This is ac-
cepted by all the French women as
the best style for dance frocks. The
new skirts are longer and wider than
those worn last winter, but they will
rot get appreciably longer until the
French women rellnquish the high
heeled sandal slipper, with its ribbons
or bracelets that go around the leg
half way to the knee.
Bright green satin made one of the
new frocks featured at garden dance.
1t has a tight bodice, immense pan
niers made like umbrella folds, and a
hem that Is wide enough for free
movement. This frock Is untouched
by tulle, embroidery or any kind OF
ornament except tiny dash Of scarlet
which gives II distinction.
Another interesting feature of these
dance gowns. especially those worn by
the smart French woman. although
she may not be in society, is the odd
cape that hangs from the back of the
neck to the waist.
1t is of metallic tissue or oxydized
silver, furnished gold or bright steel.
1t is gathered to a tight necklace at
the back or suspended from a chain
that goes straight across the back Of
the shoulders, ending at each shoulder
strap. This cape does not cover the

The newest form of dancing reminds
the American of that successful play

ing has been started at Trouville and
Deauville. An American girl is cred
tied with the idea. She gave a party
to which the guests came in bathing
suits with warm peignoirs to protect
them. II was on the sands, the music
an accordion band. Supper was served
around fires.
Since then there have been i'm
promptu parties which slip out OF the
hotels and villas TO go to secluded
spots on the beach, where a victrola or
a few accordions provide the music.
The French women wear sandals with
their bathing suits, without stockings,
so there is no difficulty in dancing.
1t is a wonder some one did not in
vent this method OF amusing ones
self at midnight in the historic period
that followed the ending of 1.-THE Ter
ror." It is strange, or perhaps normal,
that the peace summer in Paris is
nearly a repetition of the peace sea-
son that followed the downfall of
Robespierre. Then, as now, the wo-
men discarded clothes until they
reached the irreducible minimum, and
they danced madly for a year at all
hours after midday.
There was street dancing. riotous
OF giles in the old palaces. and the
famous balls OF the guillotine. To
these only those were invited whose
families had been executed; they wore
their hair cut after the manner called
the victims couture" and they tied
a thin scarlet ribbon about their necks
TO suggest the severing of the head
from the body by the knife.

hostess Of the Luxembourg under the

4. r.
The most exclusive place opened in
Paris after peace is a garden for
dancing on the Avenue Victor
Emmanuel III, which once was the
Avenue d'Antin. Here is n wonderful
garden, owned by Paul P0iret, which
has been for four years a playground
for convalescent soldiers. The transit
ton from pain to pleasure Is signifi-
cant. Here is veritable exclusiveness.
II should be, as the price Of 20 francs
entrance fee per person and wine at
$40 bottle keeps out a crowd.
The members OF the leading smart
set In Paris may not go to this garden
to dance, for they do not adopt the
American and English custom Of
dancing in public, but those who will
not go to any public place to dance
as a rule will go TO L'Oasis. which is
the name Of the new dance garden.
Here there are trees, brilliant tables
in red, purple and yellow. grass walks
and a platform enclosed by a stone
wall, trees and trellised sides. The
dancing on the platform Is dimly lit
by incandescent moons that hang
from the trees and TO anuse the
guests there is a barrage OF silver fire
thrown over the garden as one throws
colored confetti.
Here one sees smartly put up
French soldiers and eXtravagantly
dressed French women. Americans
and English are conspicuously absent;
this is why the French go to It and even
permit their young girls to go with
chaperons. Not only does u couple

new place is crowded every night
with the French. There seems to be
plenty of money in this city for pleas
ure. Our American boys rebel at pay
ing the price, even IL they choose to
go, but no French officer seems to find
1t excessive. 1t Is these curious con-
ditions in France to-day that make
this summer the most interesting
season in the memory of the Oldest
tourist
Americans ana French Girls.
Anent the question of the popu-
larity Of a place where the A. f.. +.
dc not go Is the fact that the
French women prefer to dance with
the American men. This is a cause of
minor friction between the allied
forces. They fraternize better In the
trenches than they do at dances One
night we motored over to a French
town for dance. A number of Amer
lean officers were there. They arrived
at the dance without girl. Each OF
the Frenchmen brought girl with
chaperon. Half an hour after the
dance began each American had
French girl. The French soldiers sat
in a row against the wall, looking as
glum as though they were in dugouts.
An American woman dubbed them
1.-THE wall flowers OF France" and the
name sticks.
The French soldier never ceases to
talk about the manner in which the
American soldier takes all the girls in
the place. They quarrel with the
French women on the subject, only TO
he answered by the retort that the
American men are more attractive.
The sad truth must be met, however,
| by tho American woman that the
Frenchman does not find her attrac-
tive, does not ask her to dance and

request that the name and address be

Nobody in New York has been able
to achieve this type of distinction; the
nearest approach to it is the Club de
Vingt in New York. There are club
members TO L'Oasis who pay 400
francs a month, which is about $50.

be understood by the Parisians. They
dance the dances Of their country.
There is one cafe with a stretch Of
tree Swallowed street in front of it
where the dancers are from Limou-
sine, that province Of France where
they still believe that the werewolf
steals nuns and these nuns return to
tear their sisters apart. These people
from Limousine dance and cry out
like wolves in the street before their
cafe and shout aloud their odd patois
while their music whines through
bagpipes, punctuated by the staccato
notes OF fiddle, music that sounds
sinister and mountain bred.
There are other long stretches of
pavement where the dancers are
from Alsace. The women wear their
national costume, the bows on their
heads az large as windmills They
prance and minuet and bow TO each
other and swirl round and round like
spinning tops. Drifting all through
the streets and dancing in their own
