Some women have a penchant for, •electing the right thing in clothes and perfect genius for wearing them well, observes a fashion correspondent in the New York Herald. "One without the other Is a useless gift. The experts do a large share of the preliminary work In the first instance, but the final decision rests with the Individual. In the matter of wearing clothes after the choice Is once made, : the careful attention to details has more than nine-tenths to do with it. Reports from Paris of the spring openings read very differently from tihose of last season, when nearly | every house emphasized the fact that there would be very little change, although putting forth a few tentative innovations. This season the changes !n the general silhouette as well as in the length of skirts are pronounced in serious vein. That there hi a marked diversity of opinion is evident What could be more diametrically opposite than the extremely simple tailleur and the repeated use of the Oriental and even^ lace ruffled dresses for afternoon.

One of the Most Recent and Possibly Rather Extreme Tunic Models, With Long Vest of Lingerie and Peculiar Gathered Section in Front - Is shown and others incline to the Chinese or Indo-Chinese, as it Is called, a medium long coat of loose cut, sometimes fastening at one side, and always with a straight band collar. Inclines to Oriental Note* Luciie Inclines to this Oriental note, displaying coats and wraps In this maimer for both day wear and for evening. A china-blue poplin suit, wtilch she created, has a trimming of Chinese embroidery and it matched with a mandarin toque. Even in this collection one finds that there is diversity, for there are also youthful1 designs In tailored suits and dresses of lace for afternoon, that have beeen dyed in dark tones to make them suitable and practical for day wear. Browns and blacks are notable In these dresses. Straight sheathlike dresses have circular flounces at the bottom and tunics that are long and straight are slashed at the sides to make walking possible as well as to show the slip of some contrasting material. In some sheath dresses which are also partially tunics an opening extends from the neckline at the back to the hem, allowing a foundation dress to contrast with the sheath. It may also extend a ft'w inches below the upper tunic. _ MaVgaine Lacrolx shows many frocks employing the shaded materials as a color scheme. These are In, laces and in crepes and other dresses and costumes are reported to shoT j many interesting trimmings--among others, mother-of-pearl sequins, marabou, cire ribbon, braids and some beads. For evening fabrics dull gold cloth and copper tissue are mentioned as well as the more usual silver cloth. From these and various sources the Impression grows that one may add to the variety in the wardrobe' without necessarily subtracting, and that a few minor points In the changing mode are fairly well established onless the larger houses will have some unusual surprises in store. Black Prevails Over Brown. Black, it is quite certain, will be more often seen in the new models than brown, although a few makers still Insist on the superiority of the latter, and one maker shows costumes in this color shading the details through golden brown to the palest cream color--It must be admitted with particular success, f The alpacas, which are being well received, are most interesting in the changeable weaves, which are usually banded or otherwise trimmed with plain material. Where all the feather trimming Is to come from that the seas9n predicts, is something that probably the makers know mora about than we do, but marabou, clipped ostrich and clipped dove feathers are shown on the model gowns and are sure to be copied by both New York and Paris. Capes in shorter lengths continue to appear and small wraps or coats of varying lengths are almost certain to be shown with each dress, for It seems important with dresses showing two contrasting tones to simplify the costume by having the wrap match one or the other of the fabrics. One of the New York houses exhibits a model which follows closely the lines of those featured In the Sarly collections In Paris. It Is a sheath of black chantllly lace open in the back over a black satin foundation which shows a few Inches at the hem. The lace is banded all the way around with plain net and the neckline is banded in burnt orange satin tied with a bow and two long ends at the back. At each side of the waistline the sheath is attached to the foundation, giving a slightly bloused line.' Shortened Skirt More Than Rumor. Decidedly the shortened skirtline Is more than a mere rumor, for reports are current concerning those actually seen on Paris streets. Discounting the fact that mannequins from the couturiers are In the habit of wearing models in public to introduce them, we are told that all of American skirts are much longer than those seen abroad.* One model was mentioned in particular as cut so short that It was only a few inches below the knee, and the Opinion was expressed at the same time that skirts worn here would not be in this extrejnely exaggerated form. As a matter of fact, during the last period of shortening skirts, followed swiftly by longer ones, the bestdressed women were the ones who varied their skirt* lengths the least. Possibly with the tend^cy to vary the modes for afternoon®nd evening from those for morning and street wear there will be a varfety of skirt lengths for the different hours. This, however, would have to be our own Interpretation of the mode, for those of Paris make are as short for evening as at any other time, If not shorter.

An entertaining model In black satin shows a new arrangement of tucks, pintucks being placed at graduated spaces horizontally from neck to hem. As the closing is at one side, a few of the'tucks are turned to follow this edge, accomplished by the use of an applied tucked band.

Today it Is used In corn cures, and is responsible for the slightly greenish hue which most of such products possess. It Is grown to some extent In New Jersey, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Virginia, as well as Illinois. It apparently has been known for centuries. Its use, Burton believes, "doubtleW dates .from the dawn of civilization, since the earliest social pleasures would be of an Inebriating character." From "The History of the Lovers of Syria," the iHdy In question Is reported to have "brought them colTee, which the.v drank, but hardly had H settled in their maws when the forty thieves fell to the ground, for she had mixed up with It flying bhang, and those who had drunk thereof became like dead men."
