arc arriving by each boat to see the
exclusive collections shown through
this month. No revolution Is promised
In clothes. The canny observer has
learned that startling new things slip
in between seasons, not waiting for
the collections. This has been so true
for several years that one begins to
hope II is not really true that France
creates her best things for her own
people the day after Americans buy
their clothes and leave her shores.
Take. for instance. the unhcralded ap-
pcarance Of the jumper Jacket made from
Indian cashmere shawls. These gar
snents follow the lines Of the fur jump
ers launched at the spring races. Most
or them are made OF veritable Indian
shawls the kind that Queen Victoria
presented as wedding and bridal presents
for sixty years. II takes a slim woman

starvation if they always sold tho right
garment TO the right woman.
Some OF these Jackets are lined with
indian red crepe de chine and there is

monkey fur on the collar and at the
hem. No one can understand the French
love for this coarse black fur, but no one
can deny the fact of its high position.
Brown fur would look better with the
Indian colorings than black monkey, and
the American woman will probably use
bands of peltry instead of fur fringe.
She may not wear the Indian jacket: she
may not like il. But she would like to
know that II is considered one of the
smart things launched this summer.
There are also white linen jumpers.

and the skirt is black or white 1t makes
no difference which is chosen as far as
fashion is concerned. 1t was prophesied
that these Jackets would substitute
sweaters and they have fulfilled the
prophecy.

Another definite thing that Is es.ab-

America took II up again. The stitchery

Quilted white cotton has been launched
by well dressed women on the French
beaches and at the baths. 1t Is trimmed
with black and 1t usually carries an
immense black straw hat trimmed with

less fashionable because they are we'll

This represents a gain of 95 per

therefore, greatly reduces frost haz-
ards and conserves the water supply
by eliminating the need for frequent
flooding to protect against summer
frOsts. Sanding not only permits but
requires deeper and better drainage,
and Is an insurance against fires on
a bog in dry times. Sanding, together
with thicker setting Of plants, reduces

insuring earlier cropping on the bog.
