lNotes by Wire
to The Argus

Paris. April 21.-This town has
adopted the Salvation Army hat for
its new mode in chapeaux. Wide at
the sides and narrow at the Dor
der it is a style which surprising
number of different people find ex-
tremely becoming. OF course in
making the Salvation Lassie's hat
her own, the milliners have exag-
gerated its contour. The brim had
fiattened considerably. but the gen
eral poke-bonnet effect is preserv-
ed. The narrow back is particu-
larly smart, with bobbed hair. IN
process of adoption and adapta-
ton the Salvation bonnet has be-
come a bright red.
London, April 21.-Together with
the short coatee, the long 18th cen
tury coat or redingote is coming
into favor. Worn over the fuller
and longer skirt, the redingote IS
a graceful garment. 1t is a par
ticularly good fashion for the, elder
woman, especially if she happens
to be plump. A gay waistcoat, a
long waistline and much orna-
mented sleeves and collar are fea-
lures of this fashion, which IS
strongly reminiscent of the ro-
mantle days of the zoos.
New York, April 21.-Some of the
new capes have veritable bolster
for a collar. A wide, fat roll OF
satin stuffed SO that it will remain
round and plump is actually be-
coming to long and slender necks.
Other capes have as collars up
standing roses of soft silk. These
flowers are so big and so closely
set I'D upon the. neck band that
thew form a ruche.- Most of the
new capes, as well as the new
coats, have the high standup col
lar.
New York, April 81. - Square
crystal beads, crystal tassels and
tiny clusters of crystal wheat are
new trimming. Crystal is most
effective when used on shades of
yellow and any shade of yellow
looks well with it, from falntest
primrose to boldest burnt orange.
On wall flower yellow silk frocks
thickly spangled with crystals. An
apricot crepe gown has long crys-
tai fringe from waist to hem be-
tween floating panels and here and
there on the skirt a few strands of
shining crystal wheat.
New York. April 21-There seems
to be a slight halt in the popularity
of the wide sleeves. Short sleeves
and snug long sleeves are becom-
ing more popular. Elbow sleeves
with frills of assorted lengths are
to be seen on afternoon frocks.
There often are no sleeves what
ever on evening dresses. Floating
wing" panels of one sort or an
other are to be found on many
dresses but they make no pretense
at being sleeves. The wide sleeve,
however, is still smart on wraps
of all sorts, since the loosely drap-
ed effect is the thing with which
wraps are decorated.
Hot Springs, Va, April I'll
Fresh from the Rivera by way of
Paris was a white killed skirt seen
here recently. The white crepe
skirt had stripes of orange and
black. With it was worn coat of
silk cloky or quilted silk, in black.
The coat after the strange whim of
Paris, was trimmed with monkey
fur. These silk cloky coats in
black or white are worn over d
dress of another material or even
over blouse and skirt.
New York, April 21.-It is smart
to have a handbag in some shade
contrasting with your costume. A
dark suit for example. cries aloud
for a scarlet taffeta handbag: A
tan suit neds u bag of perwinkle
blue. A Jade frock or cloak is well
set off by bag of white. Often the
bag and hat match in shade. Some
times bag, hat and stockings
match and this is the height of
smartness.
