~HANEL, with CHI ara ct e ristic
French verye and abandon, and
with one magnificent Gallo
~ gesture. has swept away all the
old shibbolithG which formerly
divided the sheep and the goats IN
fashion. Her creed in fashion Is beauty,
and this beauty, she believes, is TO be at
tanned through simplicity and through
beauty of workmanship. Thus, although
we find elaboration Of detail in many Of
her creations, there is always, in the
main, a simplicity of line which displays
the figure to the best possible advan-
tage. Always in her costumes the wearer
Is more important than the gown, and
the two together create perfect whole.
It was Chanel who started the vogue
of the simple dress of jersey or tweed
to be worn for every daytime occasion.
She it Is who refuses to relegate any
one fabric to any one realm Of dress.
She believes that II one has a beautiful
piece Of tweed, and Channels tweeds are
yee beautiful, one may wear dress
nI&de from it for tramp in the coun-
Try, or for tea party in town.
~
DERHAPS one of the secrets of her
success is the fact that she so sell
dom sees any other creations but her
own Thus she keeps her individuality
intact in everything she designs. Her
life is divided between her workshop,
her home and the country, whenever
she can slip away for few days. Her
costumes are designed almost entirely
for two purposes. There are the dress
which one wears for all daytime occa-
sions, either In the city or the coun-
try, and evening gowns.
She adheres 70 no conventions set
forth by others. II thing is beautiful
she uses it in whatever way suits her
fancy. And always that fancy tends
toward equalizing styles, leveling proc
esS in fashion, as it were, with beauty
and simplicity the common denomina-
tors.
The tradition that rare jewels should
be worn upon occasions only and with
elaborate clothes does not make it so,
according to Chanel. It Is upon beliefs
short years, put herself in the position
Of world leader In fashions.
She wears nine strings of pearls on q
Jersey dress, with the explanation that
since the pearls and the Jersey both are
beautiful they may be worn together
With perfect propriety. And the amaz-
ing thing is that they can be when the
Jersey is Chanel model
Pins set with rubies, emeralds, sap
phires or diamonds are clasped onto the
plainest jersey hats, for this designer
thinks that IL the hair is beautiful and
she hat artistic in line it is all that Is
required as a perfect background for
the most costly gems. She makes the
simple and the elegant meet as one
thror bout her designing.
y
On the other hand, she uses inita-
~ ton jewelry with equally good eff
feet. Here again is the great leveler al
work. Real Jewels are beautiful, but SC
are artificial gems, and either may be
worn at any time simply for beauty's
sake.
Chanel is largely responsible for the
vogue for artificial pearls. which she
meponsored because they are lovely IN
themselves. She II was who designed
the glass jewelry which has been 90
popular Of late.

COME women seem to think that
dresses and hats, like good wine and
fruit cake, improve with age. This sort
of woman buys new hat today, carries
it home with her, takes it out of its
tissue paper wrappings, tries it on, ap-
proves of it, replaces 1t in its tissue
swaddlings and puts the box on the top
shelf of her closet. She will wear the
new hat two weeks hence; perhaps not
for month.
She buys new dress that is entirely
appropriate for immediate wearing, but
it would seem almost ill-bred to wear it
tomorrow. So she wears a dress that
is rather out Of date, content because
she knows, even II no one else knows,
that she has new dress hanging care
fully protected with g cretonne cover in

Vegetable Souffle

The leftover vegetables from q veg
etable dinner are employed to make this
soufie. The dish may be made from
one vegetable alone or from combina-
ton Of all left-overs. The recipe will
vary slightly according to the vegetables
used, but here is good recipe.
Three cups chopped cooked spinach
one-half cup grated cheese, salt and
pepper 10 taste. two tablespoons bread
crumbs, three tablespoons nlargarin, one
cup white sauce, two eggs.
Stir the margarin into the spinach
and heat. Add the cheese, white sauce
and egg yolk beaten. Have ready the
stiffly beaten egg whites and fold into
the vegetable mixture. Turn into a
deep pudding dish which has been oiled
and dust 1t with cracker crumbs. Bake
threeSquarters of an hour In a dish set
In a pan of hot water.

She disnisses convention in the COM
bining Of materials. Taffeta and geor-
gette dresses are worn under jersey
coats. Sometimes she lines a jersey
coat with costly sable, or again, uses
very inexpensive furs which she believes
beautiful in themselves.
Always she insists On the most me-
ticulous workmanship. She believes that
therein lies the most important part Of
dress creation. Her Summer evening
gowns of lowered chiffon are works OF
art, for the flowers are cut from the
fabric and appliqued upon it again by
hand, giving an effect which was origi-
nal with this house. Here is the only
sort of elaboration allowed in her de-
signs, and Notwithstanding all the labor
which goes into their making, they re-
main the same simple things for which
she Is noted.

Colored Glass Gives
Table Seasonal Tint

Colored glass is no rarity nowadays,
for we can buy really attractive speci-
mems of it at small prices. There are
sales when 10-cent tumblers of colored
glass are as lovely as anything our
mothers could have got for dollar IS
years ago. For when colored glass first
came into its modern vogue it sold at
a high price.
Perhaps there is no less expensive
way Of making our table colorful than
by buying colored glass; We don't need
much of it. Tumblers and dessert
glasses in green make the table cool all
Summer long. In pink, they carry out
any pink color scheme throughout the
year.

BY MARY MARSHALL.

- PORTS clothes don't have to be
at all mannish or masculine to
be entirely practical-and the
~ sports fashions of the present
season clearly show that this
truth has been generally recognized
Twenty years ago or more, when
girls first became seriously interested
in sports which had previously been en-
joyed exclusively by their brothers, they
quite naturally wore clothes that were
inspired by those that the brothers had
seen 1T to wear for the sport in ques-
ton. They wore mannish skirts and
neckties and clumsy coats and tmpos-
sibly unbecoming sweaters, not realiz-
ing that it was perfectly possible for
dressmakers and tailors to design
clothes of q perfectly feminine sort that
would answer the purpose quite as well.
And so long as people continued to feel
that outdoor sports were more appro-
pirate to their sons than their daugh-
terS so long women's sports clothes re-
manned slightly masculine.
X
NOV, of course, all that is in the
past. The only sort of sports
clothes that retain their masculine ira
dition are the formal sort of riding
things, and there Is good reason for

WHAT'S IN FASHION,
When to Use Plain or Figured Floor Covering

NEW YORK, Feb. 12.--Whjch is
IN more fashionable - plain or
figured rugs and carpets? The
answer is both
But-Which is more fashionable
for you is another matter. 1t de-
ponds entirely on what else is in
your room-or what you're going to
put in it.
The main thing to be sure OF
is that you have a pleasing sense
of balance between the plain and
figured surfaces in the room. Not
too much plain and not too much
figured. But just the right
amount of each.
Three Good, Simple Ways
There are several ways of get
ting this feeling of balance into a
room. Three good simple
ways, too--are these:
/. If the walls of the room are
plain, use a large figured carpet
or rug, figured draperieS and plain
or small, allover patterned up
holsteries on your furniture.
q If the walls Of your room are
figured, use a plain carpet or rug,
plain color overdrapes and figured
upholsterieS on the furniture-with

sLENDERIzING DRESS

Here are slenderizing lines, that
so beautifully disguise the heavier
figure without a tell-tale.
Note the narrowing effect of the
bodice softened by the jabot drape.
And the concealed width through
the hips that the cleverly placed
circular godetS give the skirt. The
panel front and back gives graceful
height.
Style No. 1876 is designed for sizes
SO, 38, 40, AZ. A and 46 inches bust.
A printed crepe silk is a very nice
medium for this model. 1t is SO
practical for all-day occasions.

Of our new Fashion Magazine. And

Quaint rosebud design for bedrooms
type can be used with the first
combination of plain and patterned
space described above.
Small, allover Persian designs
such as is Sketched at the upper
right, can be used with almost any
kind Of furniture. And they're the
type mentioned in combination
number three.
Smart Floral Patterns
With mahogany furniture, large
allover floral effects in rich color
ings that Hggest the Victorian era
are good, and these, too, would fit
into room combination like num-
Der one.
Smaller floral sprays spaced more
widely than this last pattern are
fashionable with provincial type
furniture But oriental designs of
the Persian type still are more in
fashion than any of the floral pat
terms.
The quaint little rosebud design
is a good fashion for bedroom car
peting. 1t can be used with al
most any kind of furniture.
But-hooked designs like old
hooked rug patterns still are more
in keeping with furniture of Early
American design.
Now--if you're going to use plain
floor covering, what shall that be
to be fashionable?

Larger Persian design in allover
effect
one or two pieces of furniture in
plain fabric.
8. Another way if the walls are
plain is to use a small, allover fig
ured carpet or rug, large figured
draperies and large figured up
holsteries, with a few pieces OF
furniture done in plain fabrics.
AIlover Designs Best
If you decide on a patterned rug
for your living room, patterns that
go all over the surface of the rug,
leaving little of the background to
show, are generally more success
fully used than spotty designs or
medallions.
And that's because the rug pat
tern shouldn't be the most con-
spicuous thing in the room. In a
bedroom, on the other hand, or the
dining room, where there is usually
a large piece of furniture in the
center of the room, these larger,
medallion-like designs can be more
successfully used.
Fashionable designs that are all
