Who Sets the Styles?
Do we j?et our fashions from Paris

from us regarding styles? Really, It
is a pretty question and one that bears
looking Into. Here we have the Eng

no small stock of courage to eppear In

the Parisians have begun to take a
surprising interest in the stunning
clothes that make Uncle Sam's fair rep

that gay capital, and they can scarcely
realize from whence this well groomed
and magnificently gowned rival has ap

The Pendulum of Fashion.
Soft, flexible cloths, which look al
most like satin at a little distance, are
fashioned into the most charming of
evening gowns, softened by lace and
enhanced with fur. For several years
past the leading London dressmakers
have had a weakness for evening frocks
of fine cloth, but have failed to make
them popular. However, at last there
are Indications that with the tendency
to swing back, which characterises the
pendulum of fashion, cloth will be tbe
chief rival of chiffon In the near fu
ture.
A New Sleeve.
For a new sleeve for tea gowns Is a
fulling of tulle from the elbow, caught
Into a loose wristband, but the thin
fabric is almost wide enough to simu
late an nngcl sleeve, and the watteau
plait at tbe bach Is in keeping with this
style.
