SIMPLICITY IS HIGH LIGHT FOR STYLES OF MID-SEASON

, Tailleur Is Expressed in New Way BY JEAN PATOU Written for NEA Service PARIS. Feb. 12.—1n the midseason collections there is no trace of any tendency toward a definite change of mode. Tills is due, in part, to the fact that perfect simplicity is .almost the absolute rule in regard to these inter-season creations. Even the woman who usually prefers the more complicated ideas in dress shows a very strong leaning toward a simplcity almost severe in character in her mid-season clothes. The mid-season mode, therefore, is a very definite one in that it bears no trace at all of any tenacity of style endeavoring to make itself manifest as is seen in either summer or winter collections. ‘Tailleur” Mode Intact Generally speaking, a winter or summer collection offers several modes, each with a very clearly defined character, but all the same, mid-season styles are useful ir. that they reaffirm a mode or confirm a tendency. That is why, both for morning and afternoon clothes, the present interseason collections show a distinct “taUleur” inspiration, which the couturier has endeavored to express in anew way. The tailored effect is a style admirably suited to the necessary simplicity of this type of dress. No accessory or trimming is allowed to intervene and break up the simple line, but this does not prevent some of the afternoon models from looking sufficiently dressy for formal spring functions.

Cut Should Be Simple Unity of coloring joins forces with simplicity of cut and line in these between-season creations. In the plain coles, pink, blue and green probably will be most popular, and in color combinations I think that black and white and perhaps navy blue and white will prevail against all others. Without certain artifices of cut, I think that some of these models might run the risk of being monotonous. These oftentimes are imperceptible except to the trained eye, but they certainly play an important part in the decorative scheme. Hip yokes so far are the features that bring some change in line and the manner in which pleats are disposed is another. All-White Frock in Vogue The varied fancy weaves that appear in both silk and wool fabrics this year also contribute to the required touch of fantasy and femininity. For afternoon wear, I have used a great deal of figured silks. Printed silks have been more or less abandoned except in some of the more modernistic designs. These figured silks are new and give very good results if the design is chosen to suit the style of the dress. A novelty in mid-season styles Is the all-white frock for day wear. While perhaps a trifle premature for early spring wear, it can look immeasurably chic on the right type of woman, especially if worn under a black coat. With revers of white showing at the bottom of the coat cuffs and in a narrow shawl collar effect, the result Is incredibly smart.

WHAT’S IN FASHION?

When to Use Plain or Figured Floor Covering

NEW YORK, Feb. 12.—Whjch is more fashionable plain or figured rugs and carpets? The answer is “both.” But—which is more fashionable for you is another matter. It depends 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 getting this feeling of balance into a room. Three good ways—simple ways, toe—are these: 1. If the walls of the room are plain, use a large figured carpet or rug, figured draperies and plain or small, allover patterned upholsferies on your furniture. 2. If the walls of your room are figured, use a plain carpet or rug, plain color overdrapes and figured upholsteries on the furniture —with

Larger Persian design in. allover effect

one or two pieces of furniture in plain fabric. 3. Another way if the walls are plain is to use a small, allover figured carpet or rug, large figured draperies and large figured upholsteries, with a few pieces of furniture done in plain fabrics. Allover 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 successfully used than spotty designs or medallions. And that's because the rug pattern shouldn’t be the most conspicuous 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-

over in their effect include the larger Persian type designs. This

Quaint rosebud design for bedrooms

i 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 colorings that AggesW the Victorian era are good, and these, too, w’ould fit into a room combination like number 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 patterns. The quaint little rosebud design is a good fashion for bedroom carpeting. It can be used with almost 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?

Small allover Persian design.

The first answer to this is—broadlocm carpeting, laid wall to wall or with the ends finished off to make a room size rug. That

gives you one color over your entire floor. A second choice is the plain colored rug with a border of a darker tone of the same color. And fashionable colors in both broadloom and plain rugs are taupe, green, rust, eggplant and tetc de negre . . . depending, of course, on your room’s color scheme. There's another kind of carpeting—or rug—that comes under both classifications of plain and figured. And it’s a fine compromise if you like the effect of plain color, but don’t like the effect of foot tracks showing on it! It’s a fairly new fashion, and it’s a frieze effect made by a combination of hard twisted and soft yarns

ABRAHAM LINCOLN

Born February 12,1809. Fifty-one years later he was elected President of the United States, and within two months announced that there should be no human slavery in Territories of the United States. On January 1, 1860, he issued his famous proclamation freeing all slaves, including those in States then fighting for the right to secede. Lincoln’s'stand on the question of human slavery led to the Civil War, which was fought, however, over the right of states to leave the Union. Slavery still exists in America today—not the kind of slavery common before the Civil War, but the slavery of the family wash, dirty dishes, cooking, house-cleaning. It is a form of human slavery for which there is no excuse because there now exists an army of mechanical slaves—kilowatts of electrical energy—ready and willing to do the work in the home for an insignificant wage. Let these tireless slaves do the hard, manual labor in your home, just as they are doing in industry and in almost every other line of human endeavor.
