High Collars Favored 4
More by Paris Women

A most significant fact brought out
in a resume of the latest fashions Is
the important place accorded models
that exploit the high collar. This is
mode which for years the designers
in Paris have been endeavoring to re-
vive, but with little success in THIS
country. French women have always
taken more kindly to high collars than
american women. who were loath to
give up the comfort of a low neckline.
With the increasing vogue of tai.
lored effects has come about q differ
ent feeling on the part of American
women toward high collars. There is
no doubt that the casual look of cut
out neck, in contrast % the formality
of notched collar, distinctly mascu-
line in its appearance, is incongruous.
In many instances it is feminized by
jahot frill, but in others 1t keeps TO
its masculine appearance and is in
keeping with the type of suit with
which it is worn.

CHARLES LATTER

SYNOPSIS.-To a gathering of
anarchists in Barking, London
suburb, Zaboleff, foreign agita-
tor, tells of the operations of a
body of men who have become a
menace to their activities. He
says they are masked and wear
long black cloaks and are acting
without the law. He is inter-
rupted by the men he is deserib-
ing (the Black Gang), who break
up the meeting, sentencing some
!, of the participants to condign
punishment and carrying away
others. A memorandum found
on Zaboleff gives an address in
Hoxton, which the leader Of the
attacking party considers of i'm
portance. Sir Bryan tombstone,
director of criminal investiga-
tion, hears from Inspector Nc
liver, sent to arrest Zaboleff the
night before, of his discontinue.
He had been seized and chloro-
formed and his raid frustrated.
Hugh Drummond, man of leisure,
tells tombstone of seeing the kid
napers and their victims. He be-
comes an unpaid. agent of the
police, under McIver.

Ribbons Used as Panels, Borders, Girdles Sashes

To speak of dress for young people
is to think quite logically of ribbons.
Not that their use is confined to the
younger contingent by any means.
Very beautiful. artistic and important
costumes are being elaborated with
ribbons this season and their vogue
is general. One finds them. notes a
fashion correspondent in the New
York Times. introduced in one manner
or another, on some of the most attrac-
tive afternoon and evening gowns from
the best designers at Paris, and in mil
linery ribbons are dominant feature.
Many more hats of individual charac-
ter are built of ribbon than of any
other material, and the trimmings,
motifs and ornaments of many shapes
and STYLES are made almost wholly Of
ribbons.
For two seasons past gowns have
been trimmed with ribbon in one or
more subtle ways, as panels, borders,
girdles, sashes or whatever. And now,
with the ribbon movement, so TO speak.
rejecting the genius of artists and
artisans of the highest order, the de-
mand comes from widening field. The
display of ribbons in the prominent
department stores is in itself divert
ing. There are all the colors and their
known shades and possible combina-
tions. There are satin, grosgrain. ben
galine, taffeta and gauze ribbons. with
all the latest translations of these
weaves.
The rainbow sash of mothers girl
hood is the Ombre ribbon of today
shown in many widths. This softly
shaded effect is achieved in satin and

sons run, is now flying its colors in

Fabric as Light as Crepe,
Retains Glamor and Is
Not Noisy.

The rustic of silk is about to be
heard throughout the land, because taf-
feta is returning to favor as fast as it
can.
"Taffeta, to be sure" points out a
New York fashion designer, 'sis. no
longer the loud speaker it used to be.
Manufacturers have muffled and 81
fenced it discreetly and produced fab
ric almost as light as crepe, but it re-
tains all the glamor of it's articulate
days"
To prove his point he displayed a
new model In vivid orange and flame
taffeta which had several new fashion
points.
Notice the skirt on bouffant lines"
he said. 1T is II inches from the floor
In front and has train in back that
yields at least that much to the carpet.
1t isn't the skinny scarf train that we
have been wearing, but the good old
Victorian type that actually sweeps the
floor and isn't wrapped about the arm.
Beneath this skirt. showing I'M
ashamedly in front are pantalettes of
Spanish lace mounted on chiffon. They
match the lace shawl of directOire in
spiration that falls from the shoulders
to deep point in the back. A charm
ing feminine touch is added in taffeta
flowers Of henna flame and flesh that
are appliqued to the side front"
This outfit, he agreed, is an extreme
style, suited only to the youthful fig
ure, the expansive pocketbook, and the
distinctive carriage, but it shows the
tendency to return to the more elab-
crate and more ornate frock, for eve
ming at least"
Some Of the most advanced of Pa
risian designers are using taffeta
frocks with deliberately draped bows
in the back that recall the old-fash-
toned hustle. Others are introducing
fullness at the sides and back. There
are taffeta frocks for street that are
almost tailored. The most startling
innovations are being created in taf-
feta.
The struggle that has been going on
between the simple and the elaborate
frock is being amicably settled by
every woman doing just as she pleases.
Naturally, for travelling. morning
and sports wear. the simple dress on
good lines is the best choice. but for

Roman Stripes Popular
for Latest Negligees

Roman stripes in the gayest imagip-
able colors challenge the vogue for
prints in the field of negligees, pa
jamas and smoking suits. Color reigns
everywhere, and the striped silks are
the very newest thing, following close
ly on the great success made by the
brilliantly printed crepes and georg-
cites. AS usual with Roman stripes,
red pDedominates, and some of the
newest robes show great red stripes
eight or ten inches wide, set off with
narrower ones in gay colors. AS these
stripes run horizontally, it follows that
garments developed in such silks are
not for the stout woman-or, in fact,
for any but the very thin one who can
afford to add a small effect Of breadth
to her figure.
