Fake Jewelry Mode
 Disc0urages Thieves

Paris, Jan. 1T R-Paste dia- monds and bogus pearls are used so extensively in France today that tho thieving profession is being ruined. declares Henry Duvernois, writing on police experiences.
 And if publicity were given 10 the prevalence of imitation jewelry he thinks the light-fingered brigade would all but disappear by virtue of lack of recruits.
 When imitation jewels are stolen. Duvernois says. reports are seldom made 10 the police and the theft gets no attention in the newspa- pers. The thieves learn after 8 time that their haul was unworth the risk they took of prison and resistance. but if everybody kne" how often burglars and pickpockets get only worthless trinkets fo" their pains ''there would he fewer and fewer recruits" he remarks. and soon jewel enatching would he recognized as a poorly paid oc- cupation."

SUITS FORECAST
 FOR SPRING WEAR
Two Piece Models Returning
 to Vogue

Paris, Jan. IT R-Two piece suits are expected to return to favor shortly with an increased popularity over anything fashion has known for several season. Nearly all the im- portant deigners are showing one piece dresses and short coats in their between season models, fore runners of what will be worn next spring.
 Tailored suits will undoubtedly have an immense vogue as soon as spring comes. Until then the "dressy' creations which houses like Worth are sponsoring will point the way. They usually in- clude a glorified bolero or fitted Jacket and a one piece dress with light top which stimulates q blouse. These blouses are among the newest things Paris shows. Although they are attached to the skirt they stimulate separate slip overs. The best houses are making them in elaborate embroidered and spangled effects, occasionally en- ploying lanes as the basis of en- broidery. The skirts and jacket, that go with them are most often Of broadcloths.
 As soon as warm weather comes one may expect to see these cos- tunes carried out in lovely choice of light colors. The cos tunes of kasha and light wools for southern wear show that such suits are sure to find favor.
