While the Duchess, Theodore Shonts was abroad she
was from time to time invited to visit of the finest
chateaux and town and country of the best known
families of Europe.
Many of these visits or entertainments given in honor
of the Duchess were reported in the regular society
in the newspapers From time time after these social
events Mr. Shonts was in the habit of finding
and another for telling his daughter that he preferred she
should not again visit the Duchess So and So the Prni

guest on a certain OCCASION etc.
This was very annoying and very embarrassing to the
Duchess especially she could real reason for
these whimsical orders from her father.
Finally one day. while the Duchess and her sister Mar
guerite happened to be guests country place in Brit
tany during house party where gathered some OF
the hest known people of the French ar1stocracyMr
Shonts arrived in Europe with Mrs Thomas The Duchess
saw her father in Paris and begged him to let Mrs
drift by herself for few days and out with the
daughters to visit their friends at their splendid country
estate.
Mr. Shonts consented and sent Mrs Thomas somewhere
on a weekend trip with her Herbert and his COM
When shonts arrived at the chateau everybody

with great cordiay and the ladies exered themselves

the Duchess said in recalling this happy house party at
the Brittany chateau. "He in his right element
treated respectfully and charmngy entertained by the
of people he really craved to have around him. but

"A few weeks later in Paris, continued the Duchess,
"somc Of these and women whom father had
met at the chateau and who had taken a fancy to him
met him the boulevard with Mrs. Thomas The gossip
of Paris had spread the scandal about and these people
spoke politely to father but of course could not recog

plain that they preferred not to be halted and spoken
by Mr. Shonts while Mrs. Thomas was near him"
day two later the children received letter from
their father commanding them again to visit these
people Not only that but Mr. Shonts told them to take
trip out Of France at least not to remain in Paris

Trimming In Moderation.
The trimmings on the Partisan mid
winter frocks are gorgeous and beau
tiful. but rather sparingly used. Little
strips Of gilded trimming edge necks
and sleeves In clever fashion. and
sometimes these edges are repeated on
pocket flaps or on the edges Of long
slit pockets. Fringe is almost extinct,
but there are bits Of II seen on the
ends Of tapping panels or to trim the
abbreviated evening skirt Of an other
wise tightly fitting gown. Embroidery
Is more fashionable than ever, though
when the French do It they lean. espe-
cially just now, to rather inceNspIcu-
GUS strips rather thnn to large and
heavy banding.
Taffeta Is fast growing in favor,
and every day from the couturiers
come new models made OF this mate
rial. This would seem to indicate
the popularity Of taffeta for spring
wear In our own country. Taffetas
now are soft and pIlable. and they ure
guaranteed, too, to wear reasonably
well. 30 that the purchase Of them
does not mean the taking Of any very
desperate chances.
One Of the very latest Of tafteta mod
els is from Madeleine ct Madeleine, a
house which Is the recent rage OF
Paris. The color is black and the
stripes across, the front are little tucks
run in by fine hand stitches. Then
there is plated frill Of the taffeta
about the neck, tied with a ribbon
woven In bright green and gold threads.
The overskirt. low In front and high
at back, is edged with a deep fringe
Of monkey fur. The sleeves In this
model are short and puffed.
The ParlsIan Waist Line.
The basque on this frock is one of
the new DEGREES OF Paris. II does
not reach as low line as basques
OF the past few months have done.

Plated taffetas and satins and

One important assertion from a

have accepted for the winter arc

II becomes that the papnler Silhouette
Is not so popular, at least in Paris, as
II was expected II might be. For an
astonishing number of seasons that

silhouette has been the thing IN Paris,
and 1t looks as though the French
woman is determined to hang on to

The Partisan, too, in her dressing ls

the rule that her style once discovered
