FASHIONS

The average American woman does
not limit herself to a certain sum to
be spent each year on clothes, but be-
fore purchasing a garment that re-
quires a considerable financial outlay
she usually tries to estimate what
service she will actually be able to
figure on from the garment. For this
reason the purchase of spring suit
is considered carefully. Spring is
such short season in nearly every
part of the United States that hot
weather has habit of rushing in
and demanding that summer apparel
be donned before The newness Of the
spring suit is gone.
Suits now shown for spring wear
are so simple and free from extremes
that the purchase of a suit may safe

REVIVAL OF THE PEASANT BLOUSE
BY ANNE RITTENHoUSE.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK. February ll.-There
is certain set OF designers who have
insistently looked toward the peasant
populations of Europe for some of
their best inspirations in clothes.
This is natural, for the garments Of
the poorer classes in countries that
are dominated by royalty have al
ways had a certain Ming of sayety. a
hravado of colorng, an elaboration
of ornament that express happi-
ness.
As the centuries rolled upon each
other. the well-to-do classes of the
world restrained their love of bril-
liant clothes with fanciful touches
until we were threatened with SOM
berness throughout life; but the end
of the war, which released the pent-
up feelings of the world, also re-
leased to apparel much of that brill
liant coloration which had been sub
merged by responsibility and the sup
preston of ones emotions.
Designers Turn to the Peasantry.
There was so much inspiration for
designers in the clothing of those
who were compelled to suppress their
emotions throughout the centuries
and only had an occasional chance to
fling themselves into the gayety OF
apparel, that they turned to it I'M
mediately when the entire world was
wild to express its eXuberanCe in any
manner offered to it.
The happiness of Alsace- Lorraine.
which was shared by 4 civilized
1 ,ss1
picturesque folk of those twin coun-
tries, and the Alsatian bow was rapid
ly followed by the black bodice. 1t
is not a garment that has been en-
tirely eliminated from fashionable
apparel, for many of the best de-
signers. notably Pau Poiret, have
hammered upon this type of waist as
one eminently suited for pictorial
froCks. and even somber ones that do
duty on the street.
Such as it is this bodice was never
confined to the pea santry until recent
generations. 1t was a part and par
eel of all medieval apparel. from the
queen to the woman who spun flax
All countries were familiar with it,
and it is rather peculiar that the last
few generations should have so com
pletely ignored it. Now that it has
come in again, one wonders if it will
receive a warm reception, or if ii viii
remain an isolated fashion used only
by the extremists, who will do any
thing to keep away from the com
monplace.
A few designers believe that the in
stallation of this bodice at the pres
ent hour will have far-reaching in
fiuence on fashion, for there has al
ready appeared a certain type OF
peasant waist which is made like al
apron top, with bretelies ever the
shoulders and worn with I full, blouse
of white or pastel-coiored chiffon.
It is also believed that the laced
bodice, which goes over the shoulders,
will become Il modern jumper to co ger
blouse and that il will take the
place of a sweater, d waistcoat or a
sleeveless bodice. IT will be a com
bination of the three, and quite &C
ceptable to those who are sufficiently
artistic or sophisticated to refrain
from cutting themselves in half by
wearing a tuckedin shirtWaist with
skirt of another color.

Lacing Gives Chance for Ornament

These black peasant bodices are by
no means demure. Soberness is not
their leading quality. They were
never intended to stand for economy
and service. In the modern adapta-
ton of the original bodice the de-
signers find chance to throw a
little gayety into the garment by
making the iaces quite ornamental.

good gown which brings out this fea-

The ArtfuIness of BIacky.

To be artful is to be very clever.
It is to do things in a way so clever
that people viii not see what you are
doing. No one can be more artful
than Blacky the Crow when he sets
out to be.
You remember that Blacky had got
it into that funny little black head OF
his that he would try to help Bowser
the Hound to get home. 1t didn't
take him long to find out that Old
Man Coyote wouldn't help. Then he
tried Reddy Fox. but he was smart
enough not to let Reddy know that
he was seeking Reddy's help for
Bowser He soon found out that
Reddy would not knowingly help the
least little bit, so Blacky decided at
once that the only thing for him to
do was TO get Reddy to help I'M
suspectingly. He changed the sub
ject very abruptly
How are the chickens at Farmer
Brown's?" inquired he, Reddy looked

Browns Boy seems TO be terribly
