As soon as the French openings b£gan In February, we, over here, learned that they, over there, had. begun the same trick In tostumery, asserts a prominent fash­ ion writer. f Organdies, printed voile* an4" flow­ ered chiffons were the materials used fbr these frocks, which bore close kin­ ship to a softer epoch than the one in which we take pur part today. C It Is of psychological interest, this Introduction into women's apparel of a kind of costumery that suggests everything we are not tit this hotir. There may be no reason than that of tradition for us to associate flowered muslins, big taffeta sashes with bows at the back, Inftnense English garden hats tied under the chin, and lace-cov­ ered parasols, with that part of wom­ an's nature that deals in coquetry, (he eternal appeal to masculine aftmtra- tton, helplessness, and all the accen­ tuated tricks of femininity which the world thought i| had wiped out to a certain measure. Yet we do connect these eft>th*s and these traits. The . world always looks upon a woman who is frocked in a figured muslin, her eyes shaded with a huge hat, her arms half bare and a rose at her belt, as one wlio is ont for admiration. The Leopard and His Spots. There cannot arise a critic so fool­ ish in these days as to suggest that the militant woman is not capable of looking like a Watteau shepherdess If she takes It Into her mind to do so. Therefore, our surprise is not that the women of the moment should appear well in the English garden type of clothes, with which one always asso­ ciates strawberries and cream, low voices, waving hair parted in the mid­ dle, and shy, almost gauche manners, but that they should elect this flowery and futile fashion at this hour. Yet they are doing it. Both France end America are heaping figured fab­ rics upon its womankind. Lace is in­ stalled again. Immense bows of taf­ feta ribbon, sashes of every kind; flowing, elbow sleeves; surplice necks with wide handkerchiefs of colored fabrics, are shown and worn by women who have probably spent the morning at a class in nursing at a hospital and will spend the evening at a canteen. Isn't this a curious psychological thing? Here we have preached for two years the strengthening tendency of women to dress more and more like men in the day, and either very sim­ ply or In an Amazonian fashion In the evening. We have tried to standardize clothes, foolishly, but earnestly, throughout all channels of dress. We know that one of the most important leagues of young women in America is circulat­ ing a petition, signed by its members, to the effect that they are to buy only three gowns a season, one for each division of the day, the price to be $90 apiece, and the uniforms to be of standard pattern. And yet these very girls, right on top of such an endeavor as this to conserve and economize, fling themselves into flow­ ered voiles with pink and violet taf­ feta sasKea tied with deep bustle bows at the back, and^ huge hats of Milan straw heaped with flowers I It may be that the leopard cannot change his spots, but women can cer­ tainly change her type at will. She seems to shrink and grow thin, to curve out and grow full, to etand higher or lower in her boots, and to assume at will the militant or the coquettish air. In this spring of 1918 It looks as though she were going to do all of these things at various times of the day. Chinese Influence Preferred.

The iftltllners and coutouriers of Fifth avenue. New York were highly interested when shown a copy of the special cable message on advance Paris styles In hata. They agreed that Amer­ ican women were to be more beautiful than ever in the new Paris creations. Expressions at some of the leading places follow: The new hat that has fteen created by the Parisian modistes is more ac­ ceptable than ever. The new silhouette of the spring gown made imperative this revolution in style of hats in order to keep up with the new style gown. One particular hat was of black lace and black tulle with garniture of flow­ ers and ribbons. The low and round crown effect was very much in evi­ dence in nearly all the new style top gears. The long front and short back brimmed hat will be very much In vogue this spring. The rough straw tweeters of Wool Patriotically Retire. You probably have sweaters galore after the rage of two summers, when one knitted madly with bright colored wool and had no serious thought of khaki yarn. Times have changed and everybody's knitting needle sare patri­ otically engaged in turning out sweat­ ers, helmets and wristlets by the score. Consequently this will be a sweater- less season, except in the case of silk sweaters, whic hare still popular. Many of them are appearing sleeveless, with angora collars. To replace the sweater, which holds a unique and useful place in the world of sports, have come Jackets, sleeve­ less and otherwise, which have not an ounce of wool in their makeup. Some­ thing new are the sleeveless coats of black velvet, which are belted and have white trlcotine collars, or are slashed in the back to show a silk lin­ ing of pongee color. Belta of Wooden Beads. Instead of cloth belts on one-piece frocks the French have gone so far a$ to use belts of wooden beads alternat­ ing with large blue porcelain motifs. faction In the adoption of Japanese clothes. Once upon a time whatever came from the Little Kingdom was eagerly seized as having artistic merit of the highest order, but times and thoughts have changed. Japanese art has been so cheaply commercialized throughout America, and its little shops outline the boardwalks of the pleasure resorts in such a prolific manner, that we prefer to go to China --the vast spaces around the Great Wall--for suggestions. 4 The greater designers In Paris have preferred China to Japan for half a dozen years, and we in America have made the kimono too much a part of our early-morning life, at $2 per gar­ ment, that we may not see in this effort of the' house of Gberuit ap open path to beauty. Entire Gowna of Jet. The house of Callot has throfrn lta influence Into many channels, and the gowns of its making, which arrived in this country later than all the others, increase the respect we must pay to Jet. The woman who has cherished a frock of jet and wondered if the style would ever return in order that she might revive it into something modern, may go to the work with en­ thusiasm. Callot is not the only designer who At'hirls jet around the wheel of fash­ ion into the top place, but she is the one designer who Introduces entire gowns of it. These are coat-of-mail creations, that cling to the figure like a glittering cuirass and whiten in a brilliant way the skin of the neck and arms, which are left uncovered. These gowns have trains of tulle or lace, and they are costly--Oh! very, very costly I To the average mind they may seem a bit heavy for an American spring, and It is safe to say that the womun who buys a costly evening gown in April of this year 1918 will expect It to do duty through the summer sea­ son. Even our glittering birds of para­ dise, who heretofore flouted through a forest of riches showing their plum­ age and thinking nothing of the cares of life, have been changed heart and soul by the war and its terrors Into creatures of self-sacrifice and much higher Ideas. Choosing Green for tuits. Another thing that the house of Cal­ lot has done to get us away from a conventional fashion is the exploita­ tion of green for the street. It may be roughly said that there are a thou­ sand navy blue gowns to a hundred of any other color, and, admirable as dark blue is, the world grows a bit weary of the monotonous procession of gowns in this color which moves to and fro from France to Alaska. We cry aloud for something else. We are like the heroine of the novel, who pas­ sionately wished for just a thread of scarlet in her costume to make her be­ lieve that there was happiness and gayety in the world. Callot gives us green to quiet our nerves. She gives us a chance to get awny from navy blue and still remain demurely and spberly frocked. (OoayrtaM, IBIS, by the lfcClure NcwsgMfW Syndicate.) Separate Skirts. Many novelty skirts are being taken, as well as the staple numbers, says the Drygoods Economist. Silks and satins are having a considerable vogue, and there Is a good demand for stripes, checks and plaids in these fabrics. Skirts of foulard and of crepe de chine are favored to some extent. The medium-priced skirt continues to be found in poplins, serges, gabardines and tricotlnes. Checked and striped worsteds and woolens ire selling readily. combined with satin, taffeta, georgette crepe and horse hair will give oppor­ tunities to match all kinds of gowns. Toques and close-flt turbans Witt be very popular. College and school girls will look very pretty indeed with these new hats. We shall add to It the short, cute, little harem veil on some, while on others we will put the chin strap, which gives the wearer a very short and youthful appearance. For Your Table. Table covers are not all velvet and rtlk. Long, narrow ones of a coarse- thread creamy crash are very much used. Embroidered In heavy silk, in a conventional flower design, in yellow and green, black outlined and red cen­ tered, they are most artistic. Concealed Beauty. Silver ribbon under the chlffttti of run through embroidered eyelets in the chiffon enters into the trimming scheme of certain very chick blouses, and lace or embroidery under the thin stuff Is usually better looking than much embroidery of the outer veiling. A majority of these motifs are of Egyp­ tian origin, baaed upon a fiction, fable or fact of the Nile country. This ar rangement has been utilized not onlj on afternoon gowns, but has been most successful on dinner gowns. After all, the practicability of the one-piece frock has such a great appeal that it does not require a very great touch to add the Blight adornment that makes tiha Btodei Irresistible. Satin Hetn, ij ;/ • Satin hats appear here and there. A soothsayer might almost venture the remark that they will be extremely good for spring wear. And these satin hats are simply and only satin hats. They have satin trimming, if there is any trimming at all. They are all one color. Lines, Unea--lines, that Is the tune of their lay.

Z\ New York.--Chance alone caused the castle of the bogus "Marquis Ed- mond Rousselot di Castlllot" to top­ ple over, after he had captivated the beauties of New York city with hia brilliant uniforms, secured loans from wealthy men and contracted hills at the Waldorf-Astoria and other famous hostcelrles amounting to thousands of dollars.

When the subject of the loan was broached to the bank by Rousselot, Who had been introduced properly by W. E. D.
