dominant part in politics of the France
of long ago
Those who are closely in touch with
the movement of manufacturers and
dreSsmakers have warned a world that
did not listen of the coming of Wat
teau clothes and colors- They have in
sisted that 1t was wise to buy ones
new frocks in the tones that have been
associated with femininity except dur
ing certain magnificent epochs of the
worlds progress.
There Is q protest. of course against
a number of the pastel shades because
they make women appear aenemic;
they rob them of character, they re-
duce them to milk and water. If these
wash-out tones were determined
upon for the seasons output of even
ing gowns, il would truly be a drastic
and severe change from what we have
worn since November, and not an
agreeable one. But the weavers and
dyers have not been 50 short sighted
as to create colors that are aenemie.
One gets brtlliancy and character In
certain shades of pink. blue and laven-
der, and as the French flag and the
English rose are taken as models of
new coloration, one can easily grasp
the fact that criticism will not be
provoked.
n
There will be criticism of a certain
kind concerning this abrupt change, II
it comes to pass as prophesied. 1t will
deal with the extrayagance of fashion.
1t will rake over the Goals the people
who institute new things, in place of
old ones, in such rapid succession that
the purse is well emptied IL one at
tempts TO march with the leaders,
No one can claim charity to the
public on the part of the manufacturer
or dressmaker. They are working for
their living, and they are doing the
best they can to make fortune out
of H. and they take an immense gam
HE each season in the clothes they
offer to the public.
Their argument is that the public
will not buy unless something new is
offered. The pessimists suggest that
Il would be wise to keep the public
from buying; the financialsts insist
that money should be kept In circula-
tion. and women should be urged to
spend IL in a reasonable manner on
new clothes. So there we go. round
and round I'm circle.
One thing we are quite sure OF this
spring Is that the introduction of light
coiorings will cause . large outpour-
ing of money IL women indorse them
by purchase. Public inclination is to-
ward the lighter shades of fabrics as
spring advances, and for this reason

facturers have leading argument In
their favor

Appetizing Canapes.

nNE wonders why more American
women do not avail themselves
of the possibility of varying the sim.
pie home dinner by the use of canapes.
Instead of the inevitable soup course
it would be quite as easy to have a
canape and thus keep the service
down to three or four course meal
To be sure, some women have learned
the value Of this little device, but not
very many. And really canapes are
very easily prepared. There must be
a certain attention to detail in serv-
ing them to make them attractive, but
no very great culinary skill is re-
quired.

fried In deep fat to produce an even
crispness. II Is most attractive to
serve the slices cut In rather narrow
strips, two on plate. If you have
time it is interesting to have them cut
in ornate shapes, but this is not neces-
sary-
There are endless possibilities in the
mixtures which can be spread on the
strips of toast to make the capanes. 1t
is needful to have this done just be-
fore serving and to have the toast
freshly made and hot. The mixtures
can be made any time within few
hours of dinner and are not usually

do it exceedingly well. The change
may prove agreeable after it comes.
We have been medieval for many
years.
There are fashion features of the era
that ushered in the Napoleouic epoch
which we will accept without argu-
ment in our spring evening gowns.
These are the square decolletage in
front with it's high line on the
shoulders, and the lavish use of rib
bons that can be called sumptuous
without misplacing the word.
The war brought in the kind of
decolletage that was very low in front,
high at the back, and with the mate
rial high on the shoulders. If you
pay strict attention to new gowns you
viii see that the shoulder strap has
and that the material of which this
drapery is formed reaches nearly to
the base of the neck at the sides. even
whea it is low In the back.
This may sound trivial, but as an
indicator of a new movement in fash =
ions it should be regarded as express
ing Importance. The woman whose
shoulder draperies slip off the shoulder
and over the top of the arm is entire

into every shoulder just before it joins
the neck.

This drapery is transparent. and
therefore there is no fault of bulki-
ness TO correct. lt is often edg ed
with galloon of crystals or metallic
embroidery. so that IL presents a kin
ship to the shoulder strap that has
disappeared.
Another feature connected with the
decolletase of the eighteenth century,
which is returned TO fashion today. is
the frightened folds of the bodice as
the material goes around the figure.
This bodice may be quite low. but it
has that drswn-in effect across the
bust which was Significant of feminine
apparel at Marie Antoinette's court.
No lOoecuess at the top of the bodice
is permissible. 1t must not sag, and it
must not be cut low under the arms,
in the fashion that has prevailed in
the last five years. II pulls in the fig
