Simple Line Now in Lead in Paris

Afternoon Dinner Gowns With Short Capes Are Being Shown. A Parisienne well versed In the art of dress said recently that one saw as many qnd as smartly dressed women in New York ns one would see In Paris. This may have been a subtle j bit of flattery, says a fashion writer ' in the New York Herald, but in truth 'f there is .so much of interest In the costumes of tlie women in New York i one may study them unceasingly without having finished the inexhaustible subject. Lending additional point to the remark of the Parisienne Is tbe protest from the other side that manufacturers on this side have exploited the very thing that the makers abroad have desired to feature. Before the direc- ; to!re frocks from Paris had even had a ehnnee to see the daylight of New York some of the shops were showing some very creditable productions in this period. Both sides of the water the claim of creator of the tallor-ma'tie suit is put forth. Most authorities give the i American designer the credit for its i appearance in Its present form, but it must be remembered that as long as three seasons ago the French designers began sending us an occasional suit which they called classic, from its perfectly plain, long lines. This suit had a slightly curvet) line at the sides. Few Extreme Models. At the present tinfe the American woman is keeping up her reputation for clinging to a manner of dress very like a uniform. Sue adopts this form of dress because a costume quiet and not too extreme Is in better taste in public places and In large cities. Perhaps this is the reason that the couturiers in Paris are very apt to have a second showing of gowns for their i own Faris clientele after the openings for tbe American buyers are over. After they have shown them the extreme things—things which are frequently modified and changed later for the American woman —they settle down to picking and adapting for tbe I French woman, so the thing is about equal. v Few of the costumes seen at this time show anything startling in an extreme way. but the subtle changes that make for the correctness of dress are apparent. The extremely close small hat is worn by the younger set and the woman who can carry off the trying line®, but there are also hats which have more flare to the line as i well as more trimming to soften the I lines. The colors continue to be more jor less .conservative, too. Hats from , Paris have not borne out the asserI ti<>n that smallness was the desired i note, although that is not to say that the extreme small hat will not be 1 pushed by the milliner or demanded by tlie Amerteaft woman. Difference in Sleeves. It is amusing to note that the length and breadth of sleeves varies with almost every make, and on whatever other point they may agree, the details of the sleeves seem to differ. The short sleeve is shown on the afternoon gowns by Paquin, or when they are long they are also loose. Other makers like the tight sleeve and Introduce it on every occasion. A few of the frocks have the full gathered sleeve and the very elaborate dinner or afternoon dress Is usually sleeveless. The very wide and open sleeve is not seen un less on a very formal dress and then is of lace or chiffon. Patou allows in his ♦•ollection many white overblouseo practical for rfiany ms-asions when worn over a slip of ■ black satin. Tlie slips are. strangely

Semi-Globular Pearls Used on Satin Gowns

Marvelously pearled evening dresses hCxalin —white with white pearls and pink with pink pearls—are a new note in beaded effects. The perfectly imitated precious pearl, round and semiglobular. almost covers the satiny surfaces of these new gowns, all of which ate cut In straight tube form and worn * without girdles. Obviously it la only the siimest of slim young women who can wear these to advantage, as waist and hipline must show no curve, the dress clinging and outlining all of the natural beauty of the human form. The robe de solr of unheeded crepe For the Desk Desk accessories are always interesting. particularly when they combine utility and beauty. A most interesting desk dock of polished brass seen recently contains also a perpetual calendar and a room thermometer. The face of the clock Is unusually clear, while set In beneath It Is a movable calendar and a small but I distinct thermometer. For Hearth Bricks To renovate dingy hearth bricks In fireplace painf'ean be used. It will | not blister because bricks are so abj sorbent that they trill soak all the ! paint In. leaving only a coloring matter on the surface. Use Venetian ’ red. Get it in one-pound cans and thin It with turpentine, adding a small quantity of drier. Do not start a tire until dry. Another way, but one which entails considerable work, would be to rub the bricks with coarse sandpaper. coarse files or rasps or pieces of granite. Lapis Again Used Lapis la In again as a fashionable stone. Long necklaces of lapis varieated with crystal and gold are effective, as are also a few necklaces in which lapis Is combined with carnelian. The New Bead Bags Bead bags in pannier effects lend a jaunty air to the costume. These bags are usually covered with very small steel bead*, and have in addition a pattern done in colored treads.

, enough, sometimes of the new artificial silk plaited. Embroidery in many colors is used to trim the blouses, which are either of white chiffon or crepe. A white chiffon blouse Is belted t at a low waistline and is open in fron| i in coat effect. The embroidery Is use<| ! as a border on the fronts and in a i large at the sides, > The sleeves are long and at the wrist • are gathered into very narrow cuffs, i with great triangles of the embroidery > just above. : Among tbe most striking of the ■ models shown are those for the dln- > ner hour or for late afternoon. Soma rather more elaborate are practical for the dinner hour and then for tbe : theater or informal dance afterward, i i One could find very useful for just j such occasions a dinner frock of pink | i chiffon by Charlotte, it has two curved flounces at the bottom of the | I front of the skirt and at the back of ■ i the dress is a little cape of lace, other- • : 1 wise tbe dress is a straight chemise, i The flounces of the lace are raised at the sides so that they almost reach , ’ the hipline ami a rosette of the lace is used as a finishing point to tbe ruti fles. i For Afternoon Tea Hour. For tbe restaurant or for the after--1 noon tea hour there is a frock by Caret which probably will lie the forerunner of other models op the same 1 type. It is of beige georgette, with wide bands of lace set in both the cape and the dress. A third dinner dress, showing the cape of diaphanous fabric, is,of metal ! lame with an overdress of brown lace. Hronze beads serve to mark the lines i 1 of the overdress. A panel of the beads ' at the front of the skirt is about four | inches wide and ends in a point just) above tlie waistline. A narrow tlue; of the beads heads the slightly gathered skirt at a low waistline. The , waist of the lace Is open in a deep point over the metal lame, and the i cape is attached at the shoulder line ! and down tlie long, tight sleeves, also ( . of lace. Underneath the metal cloth > is cut in a straight line across frrtm > under the arms, with narrow shoulder : straps making a plain straight slip. Much amusement has been created i by the choice of the names which the ! French couturiers have selected for i their most fascinating gowns. Evi t dcntly they intend to convey a com-1 . pliment when they select names which : they consider typically American and ; > the graceful act is received as such. i Nevertheless one gasps at a most > i charming coat by Jean Patou when > the name is announced as “Yes, We - Have No Bananas.” Other names are i quite as strange. Pinkish blonde is the color of the I velvet of which the coat tn question : was made, and the embroidery was in » a rather conventional design in gold, i I silver and bronze, with spaces cut out to show a lining of self-colored satin. Fitch fur was used the very large ! collar on this wrap. As a mutter of fact the trimming ’ • Ideas of the eighteen-thlrties and any . period available have been borrowed - to trim certain types of dresses of the r day. Paquin uses the looped fabric • » trimmings of tlie same material as] j the dress, and on ids taffetas for as- ■ t ternoon wear trimmings of narrow ; puttings ah' seen which start at the > waistline and continue in spiral sash t ion around the skirt to the hemline •' The' Miller Seurs use tucks on many of their models, bands of the tuckin'.* i being Inset between bands of tbe plain material. Clipped feather trimming 1seen in border effects all around the • edges of some of the wraps, either ' mandarin coats or capes for afternoon • wear.

georgette or silk crepe trimmed with a contrasted fringe, nr with ostrich or marabou. Is also evident in the spring collections. Dresses with ostrich trim mlngs are the most popular of these and the flues are usually either dved in several harmonious shades or art the same tint as the gown. Footwear Novelties Are in Pleasing Variety Separate heels *?d buckles merest with -seed stitch embroidery In many colors are among ’he many n vebies j ! of the season. Or If one prefers there | are heels and bm-kies of black and | white checked enamel. .

A Solution From the Point of View of the Family With a Small Income By HERBERT HOOVER, Secretary of Commerce.

|HERE is danger that the shortage of homes which was occasioned by the great war, and the increasing drift to the cities, may deprive an increasingly large portion of our population of the inestimable values which lie in the true home. Through local

T

organizations, however, it is possible to increase the amount of available housing. It is possible and desirable also to maintain and develop high standards, not only of safety, convenience and comfort, but also of privacy and beauty, which may be expressed in the house itself, its equipment and its surroundings. The amenities of our civilization should be accessible to all persons, whatever their income is or their occupation. High standards are consistent with economy and can be put within the reach of all. Our families are self-reliant; they have a strong creative instinct; they strive ever for something better, and ever to make the best use of what they have. Beyond having their homes decent and healthful they ; want to make them attractive and beautiful, and they are eager in contriving to reduce household drudgery. Besides the will, they have the education and practical ingenuity needed, to make the best vise of the I devices which modern civilization has placed at their disposal. On the other hand, with the passing of individual handicraft in, making articles l for the home, men and women find difficulty in making the best selection from the vast number and variety of articles and methods that are offered to them. A great need is apparent for well-directed, concerted efforts to work out a solution from the point of view of the family with a small income, that has to make both ends meet. The co-operation of the citizens of each community in Better Homes demonstrations has been found successful and agreed upon by leading organizations representing millions of men and women as a practical way of meeting this need, and of presenting the results of study to the public in away that can readily be grasped. I therefore have no hesitation in . urging such co-operation as an outstanding form of public service. From this movement there should develop steadiness of character, high ideals of family life, civic pride, and responsibility throughout our land. The Cerberus That Bars American Singers From Their Goal Is Unionism .■ By H. Z. TORRES, in New* York Commercial. The Metropolitan Opera company employs an army of stage hands, of mechanics and house attendants. These men and tlie orchestra in the pit are unionized, and these are the departments of the opera house which, like an insatiable Moloch, must be" fed. Each season the unions increase their demands. Each season new regulations hamper production. And each season the opportunity for American artists recedes further. Because, as the union pay roll mounts and the thiion hours grow shorter, it becomes increasingly necessary to engage artists who have a box-office drawing power. With few conspicuous exceptions, American singers have not ah equal box-office drawing power with that of foreign artists. The Cerberus that bars the American singer from his artistic goal is unionism, whose inexorable demands have destroyed elasticity in casting, have curdled the milk of human kindness and made a mockery of Ameri- , can art. ! ■ The same condition, in a lesser degree, maintains in the symphony orchestras. With a$ annual expenditure of $5,000,000, orchestral deficits last season totaled $1,250,000. With the exception of the Boston Symphony, the rank and file of symphonic musicians are unionized. Orchestra conductors are paid as much as heads of big industrial organizations, and the musicians under their batons demand all the traffic will bear. “The People Have Been Promised Heaven, but Have Got the Other Region” By CARLOS B. ZETINA, Mexico’s Richest Man. We are badly off because we have not yet learned to know ourselves. We are living in a dream. We are trying to build a I topia, a castle in the air, as it were, when, as a matter of fact, we are still to emerge from a very primitive condition. Our government is in the hands of dreamers, men who will not see that the masses are. utiprepared for novel schemes. There was nev--r a time, as far biufc as I can remember, when there was greater confusion in this country. Me have had not one revolution, but a series of revolutions, and, to be frank we were better off t before we started. The people have gained nothing. They have beetA promised heaven by all the generals of the revolution, but it seems that they have received the'other regions instea<l. The present government is committed to a program of reform which is not only impossible but suicidal. W e all know that the so-called agrarian reform is a chimera, that our labor laws are exaggerated, and that the masses need education above all, but there is not a single man in power who bis the courage to fkee the truth. We are enacting a monstrous farce for the entertainment of the world which has in it all the elements of a tragejlv. lam not uuraged, nor-have I lost faith in the common sense of my people. We are going to pass out of all this very soon. Fair Sex Has Secured the Ballot; Now Up to Women Voters to Make Good By MRS. J. J. O’CONNOR, National League of Women Votera. Before we women had the vote it was our easy right to criticize a man-made government. It is now, to use a slang phrase, up to us to make good. We have got to show the world that women are ready ax'd willing to work to make this a better country to live in, just asjthe pior.eer women worked with their men to make it a country of homes. In all the viork for the enfranchisement of women there was th® ven- clear promise that we would do som thing with thc'yote if we won the right to have it The. woman movement was always bound up with the promise of belter things. I have faith in the courage of the women of America. They have never yet been afraid of work. I count on their spirit of loyalty and their devotion to our country to rid the nation of the shame and danger of political indifference and to win for the women new laurels which shall crown them triumphantly as citizens undaunted. ' Women of.this country must go out to vote if they intend to repay, their debt to tie courageous pioneers. This year, the presidential election year and the first in which many women will participate, is the propitious time for women voters ta be up and doing. Dr. E A. Sommer, President American College of Surgeons.—Surj is mot surgery when it jumps to conclusions. It is and should be made a last resort with a definite and proper diagnosis back of it, not a I mecca for quack surgeons. The American College of Surgeons is working against this sort of thing. That its work is effective is shown by the | fact that there are 40 per cent less operations today than there were six years ago. Lorado Taft, American Sculptor.—Rome fell when the Coliseum was built. When the Roman people ceased to be “doer*” and became “aitters '* their doom was sealed.
