The Florence Nightingale School
for Nurses the permanent memo
rial to American nurses who gave
their lives in France during the
war, is nearing completion at sal-
ence, near Bordeaux. 1t will be
dedicated May 10, the 102nd ami
versary of the birth of Florence
Nightingale, founder of modern
Red Cross nursing.
No less than 27S American nurses
died on duty in France and $4,000
contributed to the fund, making
this school possible,
Among the incidental victims Of
the war the high silk hats was one
whose fate was regarded as defin-
itely settled. 1t disappeared with
the mobilization and it was found
that marriages and funerals could
be celebrated without its presence.
1t required, during the war, a min
isterial or an ambassadorial func-
tion of first importance to produce
them.
But now the Jockey club, the
most aristocratic social body in
France, has decided that hence :
forth its members must not ap-
pear at races without their shiny
silk toppers.
The return to simple organdie
dresses, with extended hips, as in
the days of Louis XIV, is promised
by the big Paris dressmakers who
are just beginning to display their
midsummer models. These period
dresses" all have the appearance
of fashioned crinoiine, but can
be worn without corscts, an ele-
ment in women's dress regarded as
absolutely essential to the proper
effect of dress in time of Louis XIV.
Having decided that spring and
summer frocks must have capes to
match, fashion creators have de-
creed that shoes must now be worn
to match the cape and dress. Paris
shoemakers, therefore, have begun
to manufacture summer shoes of all
shades, brick red, oyster and beige
being the three colors most in de-
mand.
Under this new dictum of fash
lion, women this summer, to quote
one Paris dressmaker, will be
symphonies in one color There
will be no mixture or blending of
lColors. Every woman will have
gown, cape, stockings and shoes OF
| the same shade.
Dressmakers now feel they will
be amply compensated for the long
reign of black, whose vogue made
the woman's wardrobe some so per
cent cheaper than it IS today.
