PARIS HAIR MODE
Elaborate Headdresses Worn
by Majority of Women.
Revival Came Into Action at Nice and
Monte Carlo and Has Grown
Prominent.

This is going to be a season Of eve

elaborate evening headdresses worn

Of beaded or pailletted tulle. Some OF

MAKES DAINTY PARTY DRESS
French.Blue Chiffon Embroidered
With Silver Beads Develops
Into Winsome frock.

A sweet and lovely dainty little
party dress may be made Of French
blue chiffon embroidered with silver
beads, with a girdle of silver cloth
tied jauntily on the left side in one
smart loop and end. The overskirt
was made with four points, the points
hung bit below a slip of white satin.
The design for beading may be carried
out in bugles and round beads. or just
the round beads may be used. BY the
way, when beading, be sure to baste
the material very securely over the
paper pattern. and sew the beads on
with backstitches. The stitches should
not be taken through the paper; the
paper serves only to show the design
and to hold the material In place. An
other idea is to use two thicknesses Of
paper, so the design will not become
torn, and in order to have a very firm
foundation on which to work.

Dictatorship Of Women's Apparel SAID

Some New Gingham Fr0cks

One of the greatest advantages in
making gingham dresses at home is
that you may have them shrunk be-
forehand. It is also a good plan to
have the color set before the material
is cut, and this can be done at the
same time that you are shrinking the
goods.
The substances usually used for set
ting colors are salt, vinegar, alum or
sugar of lead. The aforementioned is
a poison, so it is better not to use it.
To set the color in any material. dis
solve in a gallon Of warm water one
half cupful Of strong vinegar. two
cupfuls O. salt or one tablespoonful Of
alum. Mix thoroughly and let the ma
terial soak in this overnight. Dry be-
fore it Is admitted to clear water.
In selecting the material for ging-
ham frocks it Is always worth while
to pay the price required to get the
best quality. Certain standard makes
of high-priced gilgham are good
choice, as you may depend on the
quality Of these.

Frocks for Spring and Summer Are
DaintIIy Trimmed With Wool
Embroidery.

Some of the best dressmakers are
making gingham frocks for spring and
summer trimmed with wool en-
brOidery. Especially attractive are
those with hens run with wool. One
attractive model made Of brown-and-
white checks has straight gathered
skirt with series Of three tucks run
in brown wool stitches about a half
inch in length.
T. en-. there are charming little ging-
ham dresses made with wool en-
broi cred flowers or fruit However,
ther.. is always real wisdom in making
gin~ham frocks so that they may be
easily washed and ironed and this
wooien embroidery does not recon-
mend itself on this score. The WOOL
run tucks are possible providing you
take the tuck originally in machine
stitching, simply using the wool-run-
ming for ornamentation.

America Makes the Styles

en- who came to Paris liked them
and took home such quantities Of them
that the style is known wherever wom-
en- are.
Paris first began using American
styles as a matter of business. Amer
ican women have always been the best
customers Of the Paris shops and they
have had the money to buy what they
wanted. Most Of the American wcmen
who came abroad liked to have Paris
trademarks on their clothes, but they
insisted on American styles. The ex-
elusive shops wisely began giving them
what they demanded, and American
clothing began coming out of Paris.
Nominally, Paris is still the style
center of Europe. American influence
is not generally acknowledged. Fashion
experts abroad dislike to admit the
full scope of power which the Yankees
have over the clothes output. But they
admit to you in secret that European
women are dressing according to New
York, instead Of Paris.
