martial atmosphere about Paris
there Is the most amazing lack
Of anything that pertains to the
military in French fashions.
There is not a suggestion Of
uniform among them, rather
they are exquisitely and ador-v
ably frivolous and feminine, and
to make up for the privations
Of wartime days and wartime
economies the new fashions tend
to extreme and extravagancies.
Rich fabrics and lovely faces are
IN great demand, and the prom
lse is that by summer days our
lace frockS will be fluttering
with ribbons.
EVEN ORGANDY FROCKS
- WILL GO IN FOR FRTVOL-
IT1, and instead of confninV
themselves to one color, they win
combine several shades. Can
you imagine anything more
frivolOusly pretty than an orchid
tinted organdie over a slip Of
pink organdie, with the girdle
formed Of inch-wide ribbons Of
these two shades, and perhaps
another ribbon of vivid tir-
quoise? ? For a garden~partv
What a picture such a frock
would make If worn with a
floppy hat Of pink, simply trim
med with a wreath of lilacs
held by knots of turquoise rib
bon! Genuine Swiss organdies
are now priced at SI.OO a vard
on the Second floor. G street.
THEY'VE COME WITH THE
= PUSSY-WTELOW and the
Jonquils-these new Vases Of
plain mat green pottery, in all
sizes and pleasing assortment
OF shapes. Tall ones to hold
sprays Of Pussy-wiIlow and
Forsythia, shorter ones for Jon
qulls, the quaint little "sGuatty''
shapes to hold big purple violets.
Prices run from 20 cents to s1.OO.
And there are also iardfniers.
from p cents to S1.25; femer-
les, from 80 cents, and shallow
bowls to hold bulbs or.fitted with
holders for sprays Of blossoms,
for IS cents and SI.OO, on the
Fifth floor, F street.
EVERY BIT OF A GRAPE
- FRUIT is GOOD. for at
breakfast there is nothing more
appetlzing than this luciOus gol-
den fruit, daintily served on a
clear Colonial glass dish, like
you will find here for 80 cents,
each, or $3.50 a dozen. Then when
you make marmalade from the
rind and a bit of the pulp Won
will want a pretty jar to serve
1T from. Have you seen the
cunning new jars with light
floral cut patterns, close-fitting
tops, and glass spoons, that cost
but S1.5O and S195? If you
crystalize the rind. of course it
makes a good cOnfection, but it
will taste much better if yod
serve it from a gold-rimmed
glass dish. like the ones that YOU
Will find in a number of STYLES
on the Fifth floor, F street.
TO CUT A GRAPEFRUIT
= OR TO CARVE A FOWL, /
you need the proper kind of
knife. The kind for grapefruit
has a curved point that deftly
lifts up the meaty sections, and
it is made Of a metal that does
not stain from the fruit acid
(less securing for busy house
wives). The price is so cents.
The average small family sell !
dom needs a big carving knife,
and the small sets called "Bird !
CarverS" are most convenient |
for general use. They come in
many styles, with handles Of |
wood or bone, priced from $500 |
up, and many a welcome we'd |
ding present has been one Of |
these sets. For general kitchen |
use there Is a new knife that |
has an aluminium handle, it is |
a Universal" knife, which means
that it Is a good one, for IS |
cents, on the Fifth floor, center.
IDEALLY, THEY ARE AS
~ DAINTY AS SWEET-PEAS |
These Petticoats of white and !
flesh-cOlored crepe de chine and |
satin, with wee pink ribbon |
roses peeping out from among |
their lace frills. Some of them |
are trimmed quite to the knees /
and others have double frills of |
Georgette, so that while they add |
no bulkiness about the ankles, /
they give Just that lovely sugS |
geStion of lace-lovelineSs that |
one loves at the bottom of a |
skirt, One most serviceable |
skirt was ACCORDION pleated from |
the hip yoke, and ended in deep !
points outlined by a narrow lace !
which was also inset at inter !
walls all up the skirt. Even the |
lace-trimmed frillS on the satin |
skirts have the under frill of !
the GeOrgette. or of a picoted |
satin. There is a long case fill |
ed with these beauties which /
will delight the heart of every |
beaUty-lOving woman. The |
skirts are priced from $500 to |
$500 on the Third floor, F
street.
