 Rumor, which notoriously travels faster than fact, moves here at double speed. In no respect s that more evident than with reference to the endeavor to have free mar ket for gold established in the Unit ed States. One day almost everyone is sure such a market will be au- thorized and the next day evidence seems to point directly to the con-
 trary. The truth is that there is no Slig h test intimation of the course the Administration will take,
 but rulings to date have not been
 favorable to the cause of those
 seeking a free market.

Stressing the Wardrobe
According to the Occasion

selecting an ankle-length frock, made
with jacket or cape that transforms it
from sleeveless dance costume into a
smart, simple frock for dinner at a
restaurant
Last of all, the woman considers
her formal evening frock. If her life
is lived in a simple manner, she may
emit this category entirely and have
only the one type of evening dress
the simple one 1 have told you about.
Or if she lives a very mondaine exist
ence then her evening costumes will
be as handsome and as beautiful as
money can buy. But, in either case,
she will be suitably dressed, and if
she has selected costumes individually
becoming, she will know that she is well
dressed.
This same simple little principle holds
good no matter what sort of life you
lead. It may be that you spend a large
part of your time in the country. Ycu
may be a golf enthusiast, or a tennis
player. Then, of course, you will allot
g certain part OF your clothes allow
ance to costumes suitable for those
interests. You may travel widely and
so will need not Cnly the usual type
OF daytime costume, but also warm
travelling coats and suitable dresses.
WHILE three or four types of cos
w tunes are all that many women
need. every woman has to decide for
herself where she will place the en-
phasis. A young girl. whose nights are
spent in a round of gayety at dances
and evening parties, would naturally
devote larger part Of her clothes
allowance to evening frocks than the
professional woman to who daytime
clothes are all-important.
In designing the costumes that are
to go into my collection, I always take
into consideration this matter of suita.
bility. No dress is ever designed until
have actually thought of a certain
occasion, imagined myself in such cir
cumstances and then planned the dress
would like to wear. If 1t is a simple
daytime suit, think of myself on the
Champs Elysees at II o'clock in the
morning, the sun shining and the whole
world looking at the smart little suit
am wearing.
If were designing a raincoat, I
would imagine myself tramping along
on pouring day and I should try
to give just that note of gayety and
practicability that would make even
ra1nStorm amusing.
If you, in planning your costumes.
can not only weigh the merits of suita-
bility, but also imagine yourself wearing
frockS and coats in certain surround
ings and at certain times. you will
find almost unconsciously that you have
discovered one way of creating a dis
tinguished wardrobe.

may cause molding. 1t is planned to
maintain a relative humidity of SIS per

Though Of woolen, the fabric is so soft
and supple that the costume Is most
hsttering, and suitable for afternoon
wear.
THE French woman never makes the
mistake of dressing too elaborately.
II forced to economize, as many are
these days, she does not choose elab-
crate frocks, which must serve for both
simple and elaborate occasions. On
the contrary, she buys the smartest
and simplest frock possible. and lets it
do duty for a variety of occasions.
with the result that she appears chic
at all timeS-often on a very limited
dress allowance
Approaching this point of view, many
houses have definitely planned dresses
that will serve two purposes. Nine.
Bruyere does this by adding huge
plastron to the front of the street dress.
embroidering it in smart simple designs
one OF these frocks is inspired by the
embrolderleS and costumes of the
French colony of Indo-China. She
makes this of black aelic, keeping the
design of the frock itself exceedingly
simple. The skirt is cut on straight
lines. the long tight-fitting sleeves are
of classic simplicity.
Without the plaStron, the dress is
OF a rather severe street type, with
simple yoke of white angels skin.
WORN in this fashion, on the street.
the dress is eminently suitable
For afternoon, the large plastron, COW
ering the front of the dress, but made
SO as to reveal section of the white
angels skin yoke, is added. This is
embroidered in six groups of Chinese
hieroglyphics. To complete the Indo-
China inspiration, the hat is the tight
fitting pointed cap worn in this Orien-
tai land Like so many Partisan de-
signers, this season, Nine Bruyere has
made gloves to complete the costume,
these being white with similar de-
sign embroidered on the back.
I saw this costume not long ago, at
tea-time. 1t was worn by very So
phisticated type of woman, of perhaps
40. She was accompanied by
young girl of 18 or so, probably her
daughter, dressed in quite as simple a
manner. Her frock of dark blue cloque
jersey, was the popular two-piece,
trimmed. with a group of very large
galalith buttons, matching the frock in
color. Enlivening the costume were
deep starched linen cuffs, and a sort
of shawl collar, both embroidered with
rows of dots. Like her mother, the
young girl also wore a pointed cap of
Indo-C China suggestion, hers, however,
being of shiny black straw
American women, 1 feel sure, will
find the style and utility features of
these costumes of interest in planning
and designing their own frocks for
Spring and early Summer wear.

talked this matter over with Nine
Jenny not long ago, and was n
terested to find that she agreed with
me. She herself is laying more stress
on the simple street frock this season
than she has for years. She has done
some clever things, too, which clearly
demonstrate that she may still be con-
sidered one of the foremost OF Paris
designers. She showed me several cos
TUNES from her recent collection which
have been ordered by important style
leaders of Paris. These were designed
in the spirit of classic simplicity that
always marks the productions of
Nine Jenny's work rooms.
One that I liked very much was a
coat dress of black creepy woolen,
trimmed with white pique. The wrap
around skirt was given unusual individ-
uality by a series of cobweb-like tucks
radiating from the waistline to the bot
tom of the skirt The same circular
tucking was carried out on the sleeves
at the elbow. The dress closed over in

at the waistline. The single rever was
