rich In suggestion.
Because one woman likes her
clothes plain and Of severe simplic-
ity is no reason why another should
sacrifice her individuality by copy
ing her.
A Victorian Cloud
Is Seen on the Horizon
THERE is a great deal Of unnec-
essary criticism Of women's taste
in clothes. Never were they more
comfortable, hygienic, prettier or
more sensible than now. But there
is cloud looming on the horizon,
heavy with the suggestion of the
business of Victorian days, when
dress probably was at its worst.
This cloud, however, may be one of
commercialism, that is, dressmakers
and manufacturers endeavoring to
increase business by stabilizing alto
gether new styles.
They have, however, one very no
tent fact to contend with, which is
that women themselves make the
fashions, and, during the last few
years more than ever before, have
shown their ability to do SO, as well
as their independence in dress. They
have been most discriminating in
the selections Of the styles they
would accept.
Sleeves are worthy Of an article all
to themselves. Although a great
deal has been written about sleeves,
the surface Of the subject has only
been scratched. Artists in the dress
making world apparently are put
ting forth every effort to work out
new ideas in arm coverings During
the long time that arms were left
wholly or partially uncovered each
dressmaker apparently had hidden
away in the recesses Of his or her
mind an infinite number Of ideas on
this subject which grew to immense
proportions through suppression.
A Sleeve Made
Solely Of Fringe
NOW we have sleeves Of the Man
DARN type, sleeves that are
slightly flowing and have in turn
wide, flowing cuffs, straight, loose
sleeves Of bright color set into som
ber-hued frocks; others that fit to a
deep armhoe and fall away from
the arm, leaving it bare, and that
are caught in again at the wrist.
But moro striking than any Of these
are the long sleeves Of fringe which
Patou has brought out, one Of which
you will find illustrated on this page.
These take their place in the nov
city class, but are interesting as one
OF the many strange things being
done to this part Of dress.
The Parisienne is tying her sash
In new way; that is, wrapping it
around her body, giving it twist at
either SIDE by slipping the ends
through the belt and bringing them
back to be fastened in a loose kno:
in the front
Nothing very novel about this
you will think, but it is really 8
pleasing change from the monoton,
~ the way women have been tyins
string belts or wide sashes.
It must be said that in a simpl,
matter such as this very little oripi
nality has been shown. It would
seem that hundreds Of dif7eren
ways Of knotting a sash might hav.
besn thought Of. In countries wher,

the sash always has played an i'm
portant part in native dress the way
in which it is tied is significant Of
many things.


THE method Of tying the sash Just
referred to Is illustrated above
the fringed sleeve, and to the left Of
it is blouse showing half girdle
with ends knottcd at either side and
high turnover collar with ribbon
cravat.

Encouraging as designing them.

France Maintains
Her Place in Fashion

FRANCE has been the ackn0Tl
edged leader in the world o.
fashion. So generally accepted i!
her judgement In the selection o.
styles that the modes Of almos,
every other civilized country in the
world are suggested by the styles Of
Paris. Therefore, French styles Of
the last four or five centuries have
an important place in the history
of costume and a recurrent infu
cnce on modern style.
The first definitely American gar
ments were closely modelled on the
French styles of the Second En-
pire-tight bodices and skirts held
out by stiff petticoats. The QUAKER
dress of 1870 closely resembled the
panier skirt Of that French period.
But the effect of French fashion
extended-and still extends-beyond
Europe and America. The improve
ments in communication that hsve
marked more recent years have
helped to bring this about among
peoples to whom the European COS

Art in Designing

A MoNG the Eastern nations lu'

there is a growing tendency to aoop'
foreign modes.

signer. No two women are alike BIZ
the costume that is suited in ever
particular to one woman VIII h0'

siderations that determine the Us
Of line, form and color for the lhu'
vidual; the color Of her eyes, the COW

figure, her individual personails~
all different from those OF o1ns'
women, and all important to the o''
signer who is going to create cVs

In costume designing, as in the o"''

Matching Pennies Costs
Rural Visitor SCI, 500

and Forgess in Collect $4,000
in Newark Came

Alfred A. Davis, of Midland Md,
dropped in at Police Headquarters,
Newark, yesterday to say that he was
beginning to think he might have been
swindlcd. When he had finished his
story the police told him they were
dead sure he had been swindIed and
advised him to pin the $50 he had LETT
in an inside pocket and go straight back
to Midland
Davis said that last Friday he met a
man in Philadelphia who said he was
Hyman W. happis, of Hagerstown, Md,
and the two of them began to match
pennies with a man who said he was
cattle dealer from Maine Davis said
that he and Kappis won about $4,000
from the unlucky cattle dealer, but he
would not pay until thev proved that
they had tile money to pay if they had
lost.
In order to furnish that proof Davis
had to go home and deplete his bank &C
count and borrow from his father and
all MS friends. He went to Newark
yesterday where the proof was to be
furnished, with more than $500.
happls hadn't got his share of the
money yet, but asserted he expected to
get 1t from man at the Robert Treat
Hotel.
While Davis and the cattle dealer
waited they matched pennies again and
Davis lot his ST 500. It didn't occur to
him at the time that the cattle dealer
owed him even more than that, and he
PAID in cash and speedily lost sight of
both acquaintances

Foreign business interests in China
are greatly concerned over the sudde n
S en-, unprecedented activity of the
1nlnese in the organization of nu-
inerous Chinese stock exchanges, prod
uce exchanges and trust companies,
especially in Shanghai, since MANY of
them are apparently without adeauate
financial support and the Chinese gov
eminent has not made any provision
lor supervising such ORGANIZATIONS
ne success of the existing Chinese
banks, particularly in the large cities,
mas stimulated wealthy Chinese mer-
chants and bankers to endeavor to
secure share of the profits of the
business by organizing these corpora
tions. The success of cotton and other
n HIS and OF department stores has
been watched with the greatest inter
est, and it is likely that the Chinese
bankers will attract deposits from the
general community by offering rela-
nveiy high rates of interest on de-
poslts, which they can employ in va
rlous ways at considerable profit.
Another helpful factor in the present
emergency is that the large stocks of
imported merchandise which have hith-
erto been held by the banks for the
account of native dealers are now be-
Ing taken up more readily, thus re-
llevlng the banks of their heavy ex-
tensions of credit, and prices of import
staples are generally ruling higher
than at this time last month There
Is already noticeable increase IN
imports OF American raw cotton and
cotton piece goods, the recovery of
trade being more marked in American
raw cotton than in that produced in
China
