"We are threatened with a deficiency : of dress material for the coming year. j dui in tne meantime the shops are ! well supplied with everything but ! really hard wearing cloth. All such things as satins, silks, and velvets are to be seen in abundance with many variations on one theme," writes the Paris correspondent to the London Times. Perhaps the most popular material is .stamped velvet of various kinds, tor coats, evening cloaks, trimming instead of fur, and even for dresses, waiscoats. and hats. Satin still is the most popular material for afternoon dresses; it is generally black. Often, now, a bold embroidery design in j ivory wool or silk trims a satin tunic and gives it a lighter note and a richer touch. Indeed, embroidery of all kinds promises to come back into fashion That those who are employed to work on it might do more useful work is an argument that dressmakers do not see; dressmaking in France, they maintain, must be allowed to flourish, not as a luxury, but as a national in- J dustry. This is considered sufficient j answer to any protest against elegant i dressing in war time. It is also point ed out that many foreigners buy clothes in Paris, and at present Paris is, undoubtedly, a-center of military and political, and therefore of some fashionable, importance. At the Opera. At a "first night" of a new play, or at a philanthropic performance at the opera, many handsome dresses will be seen, although at a glance the house may look only soberly attired.

How to Make a Real Wrinkle Remover In these days of cleverlr advertised "beautilers" and "rejuvenatora" it is hard for a woman to believe she can make a sim ple home remedy tor the removal of wrinkles which will do her much more good than Ihe average made preparation.

Mr. Nahigian of Chicago, formerly of Omaha, is assisting with display. dresses which are frankly evening coiffures. But most women still keep to the little simple semi-evening frock of satin or satin and velvet with a touch of fur. Here and there a drrsj of c4jth of gold or silver may be seen, but no light colored dresscs in mous seline or lace or satin or silk are now seen in public. On the stage there arc often sonic charming frocks, and in a new play at the Comcdie Francaisr. the other evening, Mile. Marie Leconte wore exceptionally becoming ones. One was a costume of grey cloth show ing a dress and a long coat. The cloth was fine and supple, the color light and soft. An emerald green cloth collar and cuffs, with lining to match, lifted the whole thing out of monot ony, and the simplicity of the cut was graceful. The collar was draped and the skirt of the coat was slit up the sides: for the i rest it was a straight, slim garment with little full ness in it. The dress, too, was slim and straight, with sides slit about a foot up from the ankles over a nar row panncl of cloth lightly embroid ered in green. The bodice had cross over green bre telles . and a rounded neck. Short sleeves of grey chiffon hung loose to the elbows and were slit on the outer arm, showing an edging of green embroidery. With it was worn a low-crowned grey felt hat. In another act, the same actress wore a leaf brown satin trimmed with brown velvet, simple and slim, and with no trimming but the velvet; and in the last act she had on a pretty dinner frock in mauve silk crepe. The simplicity and line of these dresses are their strong points. Boots Less High. ' Boots arc less high in the leg than they were and not many arc made al together of leather. The cloth-topped boots is thes one most worn, and the all-suede is among the most fragile. The buckle shoe is worn again at home, and the very high heel is more often seen at home than in the streets, where it is unbecoming and danger ous. The national boot, wherever it has been found, is said to be satis factory. Millinery is becoming. Black satin hats with no trimming arc worn with neat veils. Brown panne hats and grey panne or satin are good. The small toque grows in favor; the high, heavy crown is dying out. The big picture hat is still in fashion, but, as a rule, a smaller hat is more practical as well as more attractive. Everyone uses a small bag; in silk or beads or stamped velvet, with mount of tortoiseshell or silver, or else a bag of shiny leather on a short strap. This last is more i a purse than a bag and it can be slipped into the small muff or carried in the hand. The long bag which hangs on the arm is pretty, but not practical.
