POLLY THE SHOPPER. Omaha Bee. Air Raid Modes in Parik One remembers the care and pomp with which the aristocratic ladies im prisoned in Samt-Lazare dressed for their procession to the guillotine. Nowadays the air raids on Paris have originated "cellar gowns." If we are to believe the statement of a well knwon Parisian ladies' tailor, the de sign is no simple matter for hint. He has in his mind's eye, however, a plain voluminous robe, rather monkish in appearance, with a hood as a pro tecton against draughts of air. Ap parently large, deep pockets are neces sary, too, and his description of the contents affords a telling picture of present day fashions; quite a little roman de moeurs, in fact. Not only does the lady take with her all her valuables, keys, watch and mirror, but also "an electric lamp, manicure im plements, a box of powder, rouge, a stylograph and some bars of choco late; further, more precious things, old letters and photographs, a writing tablet for such as keep diaries, and an English 600-page novel in case the danger is prolonged, and )a "Tout Paris,' with which to identify new acquaintances that one might make in the shelter." - . The color of the earment seems to have given him considerable trouble.

Finally, after some soul searching, he decided on a copper color, "to which any contact with coal could but add .some fine Rembrandt tones." As for the hood, which is less exposed, it can be trimmed with soft colored satin, "which will frame in most harmonious fashion the face of pretty women. Ttyus they will pre serve an excellent moral.

No Letter, No Leave An officer high in rank in the Amer ican army in France allows none of his men, from .lieutenant down, to have "leave" unless he has written during the week to his nearest of kin in America.
