PARIS FASHION NOTES.

DECLINE. OF THE DECOLLETES.

FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT,

ISABEL, KAMSEY.)

PARIS, March 7th The waistcoat promises at this early stage to become one of the dominant fea tures of dressing this season. Worn with a tailor made it takes the place of a blouse and, being long in shape, suggests the popular jumper models.

As a rule the new waistcoats are inade in some thick woollen material, so that they are most, practical anti comfortably for extra cold days as well as being quite chic and effective. A woollen material in a bright shade of yellow, jade or red is taken and trimmed with a casing of black Aik braid black buttons, etc.; or else a bright material striped with black is used. Invariably the colours chosen are inclined to be on the showy side, the black or navy blue shade of the tailer made being used as a foil. They are made single-brensted and button high up the neck with, perhaps, the two points of the collar turning back in peaks in front. The buttons and buttonholes are placed very close to each other, showing that they are as much for decoration" as use, gud they are continued right to the top of the collar, whether this latter turns back or not. Tiny pockets are sometimes let in.

|

So as not to appear balky under the cont or put it out of shape, these thick|| waistcoats are mounted on to a hack and sleeves of silk or satin, made per- feetly plain and drawn into the waist with a strap and fastened similar to that on a man's, vest.

in the summer of 1914 a two-year-old child disappeared from the Croft of Doorlethen, at the foot of the north side of Benachie "A six weeks' search, con- dacted by police and by volunteer parties from townships in a thirty mile radius. rose futile The popular belief was that the child had been kidnapped by, gipsies or carried-away by an eagle... -

The charted skeleton of the child's body was found yesterday among burned undergrowth on the hillside, about two mites from the cottage fromwhich it had disappeared. The discovery was made by a contractor who was examining tim ber damaged by a fire that went the hill last year.

PREVIOUS CASES.

So sequestored in the spot that credence is given to the theory that the baby was carried away by an eagle. It was too young to have wandered two miles up

steep hillside deeply covered with undergrowth.

There have been several instances in recent years of babies being carried away by eagles in the Alps and Pyrenees-nt, Ardeen, Switzerland; Varalio, Italy: Aip Unmp, Switzerland; Courmayen, Switzerland, and elsewhere. On several occassions, also, the bones of children have been found in eagles' nesta.
