The smartly dressed Parisienne Is
faithful to her recent love-the tai
lOred suit, declares a Paris correspond
ent of the New York Tribune. Last
spring there was an amazing vogue
for the mannish tailored suit. 1t was
astonishing to see This type Of dress
become such a craze with French
women, for they never have been ad-
vocates Of the severe outdoor cos
tune beloved by the women OF Eng
land and America. So great was the
craze for the gray tailored suit in
Paris last spring hat it became almost
a uniform.
Now a new element has entered into
the suit-as feminine e~lement-and
while the suit retains its simplicity it
has lost it's severity. Jackets have be-
come vague in outline and with true
coquetry the Parisienne often wears
d picturesque veil-trimmed hat with
these tailored suits.
Russian blouse styles are very sue
cesSfuI. There is II youthfulness to
suits having this outline that no WON
man can afford TO overlook unless she
be very young indeed.

of her hats. She spends as much time
in choosing her hat or her handbag
as she does in buying her costume.
Many of the new spring suits will
have metal or composition girdles de-
signed to match the cloth from which
they are made. This will be especially
true Of the suits of the new Rodier
fabrics, the girles harmonizing with
the patterns and the %cOlorings in the
cloth. This is a very new idea and
one which will be extensively featured
in spring models.
An amazing number Of wide-skirted
dresses have made their appearance
in the last few weeks. Earlier in the
season this type Of dress was seen
to a considerable extent, but it did
not play a major role, as 1T does now.
So rapid has been It's growth that it
seems as though q changed silhouette
had sprung up overnight.
The theater always has a great
bearing on dress. The clothes seen on
the stage reflect the mode and have
q greater influence on costume than
the casual observer realizes. Both the
Paris and American stages are now
featuring the full-skirted dress, and
n is to these sources that we may at.
tribute it's renaissance.
Designers permit great latitude in
the outline of these bOuffant skirts,
and it Is interesting to observe the diff
ferent versions and interpretations of
this mode. 1t makes little difference
whether the hoop or extended portion
of the skirt be at the hem line, at the
half way mark or at the hips. Each
dressmaker has a slightly different In
depreciation.

A typical version is n model Will

PapaI Robes.

During the election of new pope it is customary to prepare in ad vance three sets of white papal robes of different sizes, as no one can tell which of the candidates for papaI honOrs will be chosen. On Septem- Der 6, 1914, when Benedict XIV en- tered the Sistine chapel arrayed in the papal robes of the smallest size, 1t was found that even these were far too large. The robes must be in readiness, as the pope on his election is immediately clad in his vestments and receives the homage of the as sembled cardinals. It is not unusual for both the robes and the Fisher mans ring-the symbol of papal au- thority-to have to undergo altera- ton to fit the new pope.
