PAQUIN BLOUSES ARE COPIED

Parisian Bedroom Negligee, Brought Over by War Workers, Finds Favor in America. The house of Paquin invented a bedroom negligee that was cut like a medieval garment with square sleeves. It was made of satin, trimmed with lace and fur, and slipped on over the head after the fashion of a Chinese tunic. It was far more modest and becoming than the usual negligee which Is open in front, and far more protective against chill airs. The war workers who brought it over from Paris as a novelty have found that it is already copied in our shops and sold at one-third the price paid for it at the house of Paquin. It is the new successor to the room robe that has existed for over a century, and it promises to become the popular garment of the moment.
