The war in Europe brought this matter to a climax and a fashion show, under the patronage of wealthy society women of New York city, was staged recently at the Ritz hotel, in which the apparel displayed—on ex: tremely clever models—was designed by members of American establish- ments and made in their workrooms. The display altogether was credit- able, although any startlingly new and wholly original ideas were lacking. In fact, few people are looking for anything of the kind. What we really want and take to are styles that have associations and suggestions that make them interesting. We like a hint of the oriental, a whisper of the savage, & glimpse of the ancient, and not a bold copy in any case. In fact, when nothing is left to the imagination, something s lost of charm. A lovely gown, among other lovely things, appeared in the Ritz parade O MEET the flying snows that can do them little harm, fur-trimmed and all-fur turbans and larger hats in which fur is comspicuously figured, have been warmly welcomed by the world of fashion. There are few all- fur hats as compared to the great number in which fur forms a part of the hat or is employed simply as a trimming. In turbans the coronets are usually of fur and the crowns of a fabric. Rich brocaded silks, plain velvet and cloth of gold or siiver are featured in the crowns. There are some novel brimmed hats having crowns of fur and brims of gold or silver lace. But it is in bands used as a trimming that fur is liked best. There is not much effort to use it in unusual ways. Large flowers of silver or gold lace, having each petal bound with fur, are novel and these, with ribbon or vel- vet trimmings bound with fur, are about the only new fur decorations. A wide band about the crown, a bor- der of fur about a brim edge or band forming a coronet are the prevalent modes for using this most staple of things used in millinery. from Kurzman—who is famous for trousseaux. It is pictured here and | is a somewhat radical departure from present-day fashions. It is of white, satin, brocaded with silver, and is| made without trimming or elaboration. | The skirt is flaring and full, hanging , in set folds. The absence of shoulder | straps, the pointed bodice and short, puffed sleeves revive memories of the days of the Renaissance. After much elaboration it seems severely simple. But there is a reaction toward sim- plicity which, it must be conceded, has improved the styles of today. The skirt flaring at the bottom is dividing honors with the straight un- derskirt and long, full tunic, and bids fair to stand in the first place by spring. Both are beautiful in outline. ! Whether we shall look to American | designers to create our styles or find that we have been looking to them (while we thought all inspiration came from Paris) for many years, we are sure of one thing: America is not without the talent for creating beau- tiful clothes and this talent will be recognized through’ just such events' as the exhibition at the Ritz, JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Trimmings on fur hats are very sim- ple. A single flower or a single feath- er is the rule for the small turban, The head and neck of birds of gay plumage (imagined by the manufac- background of fur. The hats shown in the picture are fine examples of the way in which furs are used in millinery. The ma.' Jority of millinery furs are imitations of the skins for which they are named, But they are equal to such demands as are made of them so far as wear | ing qualities are concerned. Hats | made of fine, genuine skins are c but, considering their durabilit; the fact that these furs are never out of style and may be used again and again, they are, after all, among the most economical of hats, JULIA BOTTOMLEY. ostly, | Yy and —_—— After exhaustive researches in a famous French scientist has rei:l;: mended a diet equally divided be- tween meats and vegetables as the best for working people. | instead of a one-piece frock the blouse | man or long cloth cape.

The Paris designers forestalled this when they showed in their wartime openings the bodices of cloth or velvet for day wear that extended from & line below the waist to the neck, leaving only a splash of white below the ui ears. This movement may be in keeping S tOn" with the glorified Moyen-age which we adopted in a wholesale way in July; it may be the period of the long body ) line, the girdle at the hips, the wrist- length, tight sleeves and the univer sal use of colored velvets in deep, rich tones, brightened by lavish han- dling of colored jets to imitate jewels. Whatever the reason, it is the strict- 1y new note to watch develop. That employment of the fabric straight up ; to the collarbone without the inter- vention of a thin material is sure to win out. Already the separate blouse of colored chiffon to go with a skirt of cloth looks out of tune with the newest fashions. If one wears a suit w e hal'( everyth e Tog Electric! chosen for it must give the superficial appearance of a continuation of th® skirt. It is this fashion that has suggested to women to give the preference in their winter clothes to the street frock of cloth worn under a fur coat or dol- It has be- come more and more difficult to man- age a separate blouse with a cloth skirt that is cut off at the waist line proper.

If one wants to simulate a frock by adding a self-toned blouse to a skirt When the coat is off, one might do well to consider the claims of that new style of cloth jumper that is slipped over a soft silk lining with long sleeves, This blouse is easily accomplished by_utillzing a plece of the skirt ma- terial and binding it with braid or Its juncture Iff theri thing V.
