Some of the old-word fashions are so attractively youthful and so full of fascinating fal-ials that the even the dress creators of severely classical school must get amusement out of these frilly de-! lights from other days.

In fact, the debutantes can get much joy from choosing their new evéaing dresses. From a practical point of view it is helpful to be able to have extra berthes, of net for a pleated frill, or to wear a rust-: ling silk slip under rose-coloured organdie, as a change from one of printed taffeta.

Tolstoy On Women

Love The Amazing

> Strength

We could get on without 'women doctors, women lawyers, women scientists and women writers; but life would be a sorry affair with- out mothers, helpers, friends, com-- forters, who love in men' the best in them and imperceptibly instil, evoke and support it. That love is the chief, grand and amazing strength of women. I am prepar-: led to admit that women can do everything men can do, and possi- bly better than men; but the trouble is that men cannot do any- thing faintly approaching to what women can do.--Tolstoy.

Stand-Out Fabrics Have

Young Appeal

Stiff silks, that rustle and swish, have always been favorites with young ladies of fashion who wish! to be heard as well as seen.

Taffeta is the most popular of the "crisp" fabrics. Little Girl fashions have never quite relin- quished taffeta, but this year they enthusiastically welcome it back to its proper importance.

Navy taffeta with a dash of red, perhaps, and an army of little tucks. for first parties, pale pink or blue] taffeta; or springtime yellow. Per- ky bows on festive taffetas prove that there is nothing more festive than taffeta.
