4 i PQRISIAN "INFLUENCE IN THE SHOPS - ABY —;I.ENI)“ DE WITT EBY. I YWe have heard a great deal about ih$, “new silhouette” in Paris, and Dhotof” from Deauville, Longchamps her fashionable resorts show that fhe long, wide Victorian skirts wWere Tot only written about, but were detually worn. For some little time the American woman has accepted a mwodified crinoline, which was con- veniently short, but at last the shops have supported the French fashion in an_unaltered form, hoping that mi- lady will gown herself in the long. flowing robes of the past century. Paris has already realized the im- practicability of a skirt which is both long and wide, and the leading designers there have launched an- other *“new silhouette,” which shows a long but narrow skirt, short sleeves, high-collared neck and & low waistline. It seems, however, that we must necessarily remain a few laps behind Paris in the never-end-| ing fashion race. which runs thgough the centuries, but_ always in the same_small circle. Paris has passed the Victorlan period and is reaching 1914, the beginning of another great historical epoch. At the time of the outbreak of the world war skirts made up in length what they lacked in width, collars were high and col- The modern de- When my friend walked down street the neighbor whom she had criti- cised would no longer how to her. Naturally my friend was very un- happy. She wrote to me (for she does not live near me) and asked my advice. 1 replied, “Go away for a little while. Things always blow over.” My friend took my advice and went to the shore for a month In the sum- mer. When she returned to her home she wrote me the following para- graph: “I think T've discovered the mecret of getting on with one’s neighbors. And that is—to get away from them for short intervals now and then. If one stays at home all the time, one gets to magnifying everything they say and think. I was keeping too close to my housework and to my limited little life. I came home w a smile, and everybody was willing to smile with me. But if I'd stayed at home I'd never been able to smile at all, and then nobody would have smiled with me. Even the neighbor 1 criticised likes me now." All of which bolls down to this o The Housekeeper’s Perspective. When an artist starts to paint an jobject, he must take into considera- tion the angle from which he sees it; this angle he terms “‘perspectiv Today I am going to talk about the angle or ‘“perspective” from which the housekeeper looks out upon life. ‘The aver: housekeeper’s perpec- tive is apt 16 be too stationary. That is,-she never changes her perspective —never gets a new perspective. Her housework holds her, pretty close to the home, and she has few diversions to lead her thoughts away from her- self—or away from what her neigh- bors are tMinking! It is a pathetic fact that the ma- Jority of! housewives, especially in small towns, live in terror of “what the neighbors will say. ‘They brood over small.errors they make, and suf- fer keenly over public disapproval of some fo h thing they have done.

The gown is in one piece, loosely girdled at the hips with a roge-beaded sash. There are no sleeves ‘and the bodice is cut to in- clude the shoulder straps, which are rather short so that the neckline is high. On the skirt three large rose medallions hold the upper ends of beaded strings of fringe, which light- 1y veil the'chiffon and have the ap- pearance of huge tassels. Burnt orange velvet has been draped in a few graceful folds to form the turban which is pictured. At the front a clever designer has placed a large gray feather orna- ment, which is unusually effective promptly told the.neighbor what my friend had said of her way of train- ing children.

Comes in October One might as well imagine that to see a pin and not pick it up is a sign that Il Juck is in store throughout the day as to feel any danger in wearing the opal vet, as a matter of fact, so strong is the superstition among us that jewelers fre- quently have on hand opals of really great value, for which they could not possibly find a purchaser. Fortunately, then, for the superstitious folk who are born' in October there is a choice of stones for that month. and though the opal is by far the most beautiful of the three stones, the aiternatives in the form of the beryl and the aquamarine are not without their admirers too. To many persons the opal seems the most beautiful of all precious 'stones, and no wonder it was early in history ascribed with magical influences. since it _seems to hold within itself «ll the other gems. It is indced a natural prism, combining within itself - an original beauty and a fellowship with all the other stomes: at one momient shedding the pale light of ihe moon. at the next flashing as the sun. _One old writer wrote many centuries ago of the opal thus: It “has in it the Bright, flery flame of a carbuncle, the pure,. re- fulgent purple of an amethyst, and a Whole sea of the emerald's spring glory of virescency, and every one of shining with an incredible mixture and very much pleasurc.

BY MRS, ELIZABETH KENT. A Good Kitchen. | It is estimated that 70 per cent of | | housework is devoted to preparing food and cleaning away after meals. The scene of this labor is the kitchen, inevitably the very center of the home, for, unless the family is well fed, it cannot be heaithy or happy. Obviously, a woman has a right and a duty in regard to her kitchen. Noj room betrays more of the personality of the home than the kitchen. It bears the unescapable stamp of her j thought and will or of her lack of thought and will. She either knows and cares enough about the central element of her home to have it well planned, clean and pleasant, or she neither knows nor cares. Her kitchen shouts aloud about her to the observing visitor.
