THE NEW SILHOUETTE,

PARISIAN MODERATION IN DRESS.

(BY THE TIMES" CORRESPONDENT.)

PARIS, April 1014. The importance of unimportant thing fis a paradox we all welcome sometimes, and to be very busy about minor matters often helps us to get over the difficultica of major problems. At the present, ma- mont women are taking dress with enough boriousness to lay themselves open to à certain amount of criticism; but the majority are innocent of blame, and some ara dressing with the conviction that they are doing their duty in so doing. I beard a woman in a big dressmaker's tho; other day giving an order for a new tailor-made and then, when all its points; were settled, she said, “I will pay now, as ready money must be of convenience to you" This is not an unusual case, and the working women benefit. There is, Moreover, & vory diligate aroma about such a particular kind of sharity, and there is a certain class if women which excels in its practice.

BRITISH PRISONERS”

SUFFERINGS.

OFFICIAL NEUTRAL REPORTS.

A NEW BLACK HOLE OF CALCUTTA,"

..

Deplorable facts us to the treatment of British prisoners in Germany are con taired in the White Paper issued in the form of correspondence between his Majesty's Government and the United State Ambassador. The document com tains statements by Mr. Gerard, the America Ambassador in Berlin, by a Russian medical officer, and impartial American witnesses, all proving that the treatment meted out to the British pri coners has been of the most barbarous But the most shocking evi. dence of all is a report made by Major Vandalour, who, after being made prisoner at La Bassic in October, escaped from Crefeld in December. The story of his treatment at the hands of the Germans is told in full.

character.

A REVOLTING STORY.

SECRET GERMAN BRUTALITIES.

One fact catablished by the correspon- dence is that the German Governmont systematically withholds information as to the condition of the British prisoners and declines to permit American repre sentatives to scanine the prison camps, though every facility was given to the American authorities to carry out an examination of the Germani prisons in this country on behalf of the German Governant.

AMERICAN AMBASSADOR'S REPORT.

A pitiful account of the condition of the British wounded at Döberitz is given by Mr. Gerard, the American Ambassador at Borlin, on October 2:

Among the crowd of dressmakers and milliners round about the rae de la Paix, who are known indiscriminately as leading houses,' are a few, a very few, who stand out as essentially French in style and clientele. To anyone who knowa Paris well there is no mistaking them, and the women who dress at one or the other of them are easy to distin guish With hor conservative tasten the Paris woman is quite laudably faithful to her dressmaker, or perhaps I should Bay, to her dressmaker, for, she often-port-wind-The prisoners have only one patronizes two or three-ono for tailor- mades, other for evening gowns, and # third for little afternoon Trucks, -teur) gowns, and blouses.

AMERICAN EVIDENCE. An American who has visited Berlin makes this statement:-

Another American who has visited Döberitz states:-

So she submits to thej inevitable. And yet the Frenchwoman of society is not extravagant in dress, because she never overloids her wardrobe and rarely makes a mistake in the choice of a dress. It is safe to say that if the chosen for among the dreamakers decide to launch a new fashion, that fashion will have its day, and it has been necessary to wait for the decision of these dictators before it was possible to say whether the very wide skirt would be worn by the woman who, in Paris society, s the right note.

THE RULERS OF FASHION,

What these few dressmakers do to-day the majority will do to morrow, and if we look back wo shall find that the authors of all the popular modes were one or the other of some four or five dictators of style. I called on one this week to find out what she was doing about this rele- tively important woman's problem; and, as was to bexpected, there is no exag geration of width or shortness in any of for models. The veto, then, has gone oul and the Frenchwoman will wear moderately wide skirts, and en no occasion will they trail the ground.

When you buy a dress at the second-rate houss it looks as painfully new as the rooms of the people who furnish en bloc under the direction of some reliable" firm; but when you have a dress made by one or other of the real dress artists it has a touch of the artist's hand. A pretty fashion is that of having a short cont in different colour from the skirt, and there is one model which showed a short black taffetas skirt with a little basqued coat of short pomegranate taffetas. The basque is pleated on the hips, but lies flat back

This, indeed, is the note of the moment: a perfectly flat effect in front and behind, with full-pleats on the hips. It is carried out in all kinds of materials, but looks its very best in tulle, 23, seen in simple dinter or afternoon frocks. The long rodiagole is also being made. and French women are taking very kindly on and off to disclose a very simple little frock beneath.
