DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
have noted several letters re-
Gently addressed to you, and one
which was signed "a Different Type
Of Girl" was particularly refresh
ingi also one signed Dreamer"
Two others also. signed Jeanne"
and "Saunterer." From the tone OF
these four letters I feel safe in say
ing that the writers are girls whom
any man would wish to have as
friends; girls who, while desirous
OF having a good time, prefer COM
panions wEo are also interested in
the deeper things OF life. There arc
men still left who do not care for
the flighty type of girl, but prefer
a friend with whom they can pass
q pleasant evening or long walk in
discussing, not necessarily "high-
brow" topics, but subjects which
will be mutually advantageous and
helpful. Unfortunately, the men
who prefer this type of girl never
seem TO md them. We have socie-
ties for this and that and every
thing else. Is Il not time that we
have q Society for the Propagation
OF Acquaintance and Prevention OF
Loneliness? * Y.Z.

At the reniers

HNHE Partisan theaters are
y beginning to be an ex-
Ia preston of the latest fash
ions, both from the stand
point of the artists appearing on
the stage and the audience which
gathers nightly to witness the new
plays. A premier, or first night,
IN Paris always brings a fashion,
able crowd. When Ventura made
her debut in new role in LA Wolfe
Dechire' she wore charming dress
made by Jenny, one which has also
been chosen by smart Parisiennes IN
private life.
The dress is of beige brown chif
fon, with hooplike tunic which
extends across the sides and front
only, leaving the back very fiat,
according to a certain phase Of
the newest fashions. The tunic
owes its buoyancy to the bands of
sable which pass in seven rows
around it. The bodice is in simple,
slightly blousing FORM with kimono
sleeves which turn back in deep
cuffs just below the elbow, but, re-
manning transparent, reveal the
graceful lines Of the arms. A band
OF sable passes around the half low
neck at the back and outlines sort
Of vest at the front. A slight touch
Of color is given through the girdle
OF copper rose and the addition of
tassels Of this same FURNISHED color
down the front. A sketch Of this
dress Is shown on to-day's page.
Jane Renouardt, at the Theatre
Femina, scored q great success both
from the standpoint of charming
manner and costume in the title role
OF "Souris d'H0tel." She wears onlv
Lanvin's models. Two of them are
in distinct black and white com
binations; one is a dinner dress with
an old-fashioned basque bodice of
black velvet which flares out boldly
over the hips and with which il
worn very full round skirt Of
white point d'esprit net.

coat tightly belted at the waistline
with black patent leather, in a ore
inch band. The jacket has medium
wide sleeves on which are arranged
cuff trimmings in brilliant blue
''bura' embroidered in black, red
and yellow Slovac designs.
The blouse bodice, which accompa-
MES the tailored skirt, is developed
almost entirely in the blue with the
brilliant embroidery. The sleeves
are the exception, these being Of
dark blue serge, and there is a sort
Of yoke effect also in dark blue. The
whole lower part of the blouse
drapes around the figure and, being
in brilliant blue, gives the effect Of
vest when the jacket is open. 1t
passes over the belt of the skirt and
is go cleverly adjusted as to give the
effect of one~piece dress when
worn with the tailored skirt.
The Oriental touch is not lacking
IN Lanvin's new spring line, for she
Las Just brought out two wonderful
models with cuff trousers. This
may sound very funny, but it is just
what they are. There is straight,
slightly draped skirt and below this
are attached two rather stiff cuff
bands three or four inches deep and
sufficiently large for the feet to pass
through. These are sewn inside the
hem Of the skirt. The feet pass
through and the skirt thus becomes
pantaloon. That these cuff
pantaloons should not escape the
attention Of observers, they are en-
broidered elaborately in high colors
exactly to match the embroidery on
the dress. A further striking note is
added when the wearer has SINNERS
embroidered in exactly the came
pattern.
New-York tribune., 1920-02-01
Tulle Of Pink
Over Gold Cloth
{ A MOTHER theater dress. also fro

A MOTHER theater dress, also from
Lanvin, which is proving very
interesting to private customers as
well, is of pink tulle over gold cloth
Foundation. There is q hoop frame
made of artificial flowers which
passes around the hips, holding the
tulle out with the fashionable
bouffancy. This effect is further
exaggerated by rose ruchings OF
tulle, which girdle the skirt twice
between the hips and the knees.
Underneath, the cleaning gold foun-
dation skirt clings tightly to the
figure Of the wearer. Thus the pink
tulle skirt forms only a hooplike
Transparency and leaves the figure
Of the wearer svelte and graceful.
Lanvin is emphasizing black and
white for spring and summer. This
was evidenced in her mid-season
models, prepared for the Riviera
season. and is again apparent in
spring opening models.
She ts making much use Of white

embroidered. The bodice is in semi
decolletage style, slightly square
neck at the back and very deep sur
plice Y point at the front. 1t shows
elaborate embroideries at the front
outlining the crossing d6colletaee.
The very short sleeves, perhaps five
inches long, are entirely covered
with embroidery and there is an en-
broidered sash.
Lanvin is the one dressrnaker in
Paris who has provided for snartlv
dressed women a substitute fer the

She has made real clothes for re-

Of her newest dinner dresses have

back and have a crossing surpice

These umbrellas have made their
hrst appearances through exclusive
shops, as well as the Paris dress
makers. Therefore, many Of the
designs are exclusive to the indi-
Yidual house selling them. Among
the most notable are the carved

was practically forced to continue its
use for spring.
No other house is more famed for
It's originality in creating new
things in embroidery designs than
Lanvln; none is more clever in keep
ing them exclusive. This is ex-
planned by the fact that no emoroid-
cries appearing on her dresses or
hats are ever allowed to be made
outside. Every stitch is taken on
the premises. In addition to her
dressmaking rooms she has huge
ateliers, directly connected, where
all of her embroideries are designed
and executed by the most skilled
artists. In fact, embroidery was the
original meter of both Nine.
Lanvin and her sister. Long before
they were dressmakers they at
tracted attention with their beauti-
full embroideries for cushions, lamp
shades and other art objects.
