Charming Apparel
for Paris Misses
TailIeur and Party Frocks
Are Given Especial
Attention.

Possibly you are among those for
whom the girlish sixteen-year-old Of
yesterday holds a greater appeal than
Miss Smart-Sixteen Of today 1t is
hardly to be expected than any tin-de-
steele enfant, once accustomed to
shrink Indignantly from the merest
mention Of cosmetics, can gaze with
an appIauding eye at the modern YER
sions of Miss Twelve-to- Eighteen The
sophisticated silhouettes and COM
pIexions of the contemporary pre-debs
offer a tremendous contrast TO the in
genuous girlish costumes of the
youngsters who once waltzed so de-
corously to the strains of "The Blue
Danube" And the comparison, if we
may venture an admittedly prejudiced
opinion, says a Parish fashion writer
In the New York Herald Tribune, is
not to the advantage of the smarter
demofseIles of this enlightened day.
Yet it is manifestly unfair to criti-
cize In this age of ageless women,
when grandmothers and dowagers
maintain at any cost the slim tradi-
ton of youth, when matrons become
younger every year, why should the
budding generation be expected to re-
main quiescently in status quo? Youth
was ever ready to go half way. and il
the post-adolescents insist on tearing
down the barriers of Time they can
hardly complain If the sub-deb does
a little poaching on her own account.
The reformation, when it comes and
it is coming must begin at the top.
When older women adopt more gen
orally the dignified dress that maturity
requires without in any way revert
ing to the colorless mode that was the
portion of matrons in the Victorian
era-it win be time enough to bark
back to those impeccable "when | was
a girl" days.
Children Are SmartIy Dressed.
There is probably no great city in
the world where children are more
snartly dressed-in the modern con-
notation than they are at the French
capital This does not mean that a
great deal of money is spent on their
clothes, for the French woman of ev-
cry class is far too thrifty to care to
make a considerable outlay on little
garments that are so soon to be cast
aside. 1t is her natural and Unborn
good taste and clever fingers that make
gathering of children in Paris such
delightful picture.
Even on rainy days the Paris chill
dren go for their morning walk in the
Avenue du Bots de Boulogne They
wear leather leggings buttoned right
up to their small thighs. Above these
all that is seen is the jolly little cape
reaching to within an inch or two of
the knees the same cape which will
mean so much to their mothers this
spring
Some of the proudest tots carry mi
mute umbrellas that are miniature
copies of mothers Tom Thumb model.
They have amusing little carved han
dies in the form of cats or dogs
head and are usually made in gay-coI-
ored silks, though some children like
to look very grown-up and carry a
black one.
Little girls frocks and coats are
most often cut with klmono sleeve
