Indeed the combining of linen lace
with a silken fabric such as crepe de

Paris fads and when the lace does not
exactly match the gown shade In hue
it is done in a most striking contrast
ing tone.
For example a favorite combination
of color is a Natter blue taffeta

Buttons Come Back Into Fashion-A
Military Mode That Was Out OF
Favor While the War Lasted.
In our old ideas of things-our
ideas before the war came to turn our
mental outlook topsyturvey = there
was a very decided affinity between
buttons and soldiers. The young girl
with beaux at West Point made a COL
lection of buttons-presumab one
culled from each cadet in her &C
"just dotted on army life" an army life
that, needless to say, had no more
similarity to the army life" that has
been the lot of the wives of army men
of late years than those very gold but
tons plucked from the cadets uni
forms have to do with the uniforms
actually worn by the men in the A
z. F.
When the war overlook our years of
peace and set us-every man, woman
and child-fnto an orgy of conjecture
it was predicted by those who like to
tell you what is going to be worn
and by some of those who usually
guess right in these matters-that
military styles would be the rage for
women. 1t always happened that way,
said they. And there would be but
tons-oh, no end of buttons; and epaul-
cites and braided Jackets would be
worn. They would not be at all man
nish, these feminine conceits, but they
would be most military. We thought
of some sort of Daughter of the Regi-
ment" costume perhaps.
Our Predictions Fail.
Most everything connected with
that war was contradiction of con-
lectures 1t was the sort of cataclysm
that comes every once in a while to
show US poor mortals that our judg-
ments and predictions are of nothing
worth while-that even in the SEEM
ingly trivial matter of clothes man
may propose but does not dispose
For. though the shops made haste
to display windows full of new mill
tary styles much pocketed and braided
and buttoned, these costumes didn't
take; and if anything styles that were
suggestive of things military went out
of favor. Women, to be sure, wore
uniforms but they were always adapted
to the work for which they were de-
vised, and not copied from the military
uniforms of the men. Obviously there
was seldom anything initiative about
them, and in the clothes that womer
wore when they did not wear these
working uniforms there was absolutely
nothing at all military.
And there were no rows of meta
buttons. Partly that was because but
tons were a less conspicuous part OF
| the soldiers uniform and partly be-
cause when war was actually upon u
| around the idea faded. At least a sol
| dier's uniform was something 20 bt
taken very seriously.
Entirely aside from any military
| suggestion that they might ever have
! had, brass buttons, and bright small
| buttons of various sorts are finding
their way back on our clothes for the
