What About the Fabrics? oksibly, the fact of first importance | . The shops over this continent should “the_frocks that Paris sends to this | find joy in the fact that the French the revival of the kind of | gowns are not bullt of uncommon and difficult ‘fabrics. What was on the shelf last spring can be brought out thfs spring and sold to the most fasti- dious customer. The dressmakers are ‘I:not in such good luck,-and therefore, not in such high feather.’ The casual observer, looking over the French display, may say that gowns have changed so little that women need not: put their hands’ in their purses. . But:the dressmakers and the report- ers know that this Is not so. Paris 'has changed everything sufficiently>to liire women into renewing their ward- robes. The shops ‘should reap an abundant harvest from this move ‘in Paris. . The minor dressmakers should makejja great deal of money. As to the exceedingly high-priced dressmakers —thoSe.who begin at two hundred and fitty dollars for a gown—they are still nervous. There 1s so much lace that we may be dressed in It every day from four o'clock on. The Chantilly shawl has come back into fashion, and it is-an ensy prophecy- that every woman who owns one will be trying to sell it be- fore this month has turned into April. All the colored woolens, serge, jer- gey, ‘Cheruit twill, gaberdine, satin, chiffon, and tulle are just where they were last year. ' What of the New Suits? The Amerfvan woman has revived her interest B coat suits. She went on a one-plece frock debauch a year ago and is slowly recovering from it. France turns out an’ astonishing 3 numbep~of gowns that are delectable, vet the suit is shown more considera- tion than has been accorded it for two years. ‘In America, it will be more worn than in France. gfi'fl\e tallors should have enough to Notice today’s Want Ads; back page.

On every side smart women and others who are engaged in all kinds of office and open-air relief work insist that they need today a slim coat and skirt of wool. They know they can be patriotic enough to keep within the four and a half yard measurement, 88 the new silhouette does not demand more. They are eagerly accepting the fash- fon for a checked skirt and. a plain coat, for a satin Zouave jacket and a woolen skirt, or the:other way around. A vast number are demanding suits |, of twill gaberdine and serge which are made on severe lines, and this return to the early American fashion of & mannish costume for the open air should be encouraged by every power ful means. In-all the suits, no matter what the material or the cholce of color or combined colors, the skirt is narrow, although it need not be tucked in at the hem, and the jacket is short.
