DETROITERS PRISONERS

evrhion rmts

ALVD the penalty, I uppoe. of the rushing life we lead, that we hardly have time to appreciate the present moment when our minds ar turned to things ahead. Paris, of course, has sent cs many ideas. Paris always does; no matter if enmeshed een in the horrors of war. the Parisian styles always command their due. Here in America many shops show artrance spring modes already end the gay cotillion thst hurries South has its mind and trunk full of new things to sport In the sncculent sunshine. Fof us who boast not the super luxury of a too-plentiful wardrobe, more practical things have a stronger sppeal. Not that we wou'd not care to have the other things as well, but that we mu.-t perforce make a virtue of circumstance. As a first offering. I am showing you a delightful frock of satin duvet that a sketch can hardly do Justice. The lines are simple, as you see, but enhanced with French serge motifs in spiral effect and a dainty silk cord gird'e that droops gracefully at one side. The satin Is tete de negre in which there are embroidered tiny dots of stiver thread; a very simple stitching that gives a tone and charm typical of the salon rather than the shop. That is always my aim. Individuality in dress. Of course T have developed this , frock in black, for there is hardly an occasion when black is not quite proper, but if you prefer a brighter shsde. it looks equally well In navy and will show ' tip quite charmlnely in Copenhagen blue. Remember, however, it is frock and cannot very well be interpreted in the light pastel shades. For yon who desire something for spring of much softer hue. I will give you within the npxt few weeks soma equally charming designs. . -
