GOAT SEASON IS
BIG PARIS CARD
Separate Outer Garment Holds
the Sway of Style for
French Women.

Takes First Rank as
Trimming.
Sometimes It Is the separate dress
and coat and sometimes It ie the suit
that holds the sway of style during a
season. In Paris, without a doubt,
declares a fashion writer. It is the
coat this season.
Such attention as has been shown
to morning and afternoon dresses in
Paris would be hard to equal, and In
stead of their having declined in popu
larity after several seasons of atten
tion, quite the contrary has happened.
They are more in the limelight than
ever.
In spite of the fact that there is so
little conspicuous change in the line
of the gowns, it Is upon these “little
dresses” that some of the most artis
tic touches have been lavished. The
Inconspicuous, unassuming gown for
morning or for afternoon can have
about It much genuine feeling. At
each of the couturiers the same story
is true; each one has outdone him
self in presenting new reasons for the
continued life of this popular gar
ment.
Materials have for their leader one
that has the sanction of ages behind
It—blue serge. Then there are all of
the soft surfaced fabrics—duvetyn,
rusella. bureila. and the allied fab
r> s. For afternoon there are char
meuse, of which there are a great
many models to be seen, taffeta, and
velvet which has lost none of Its
vogue. There was nothing smarter
then than a black velvet gown and
there is nothing smarter now.
The trimmings and touches on these
dresses for daylight wear are fasci
nating in their variety. It is not so
much the thing that is done as the
way it is done. When one sees the
clever little bits of hand-made braid
and the inserts of bead work, the fac
ings and the edgings, one wonders
how there can grow so many new
ideas in the course of a single season.
But there they are, to be copied in
terminably by less ingenious Ameri
cans.
Not so much hand work is to be
seen about these dresses as was the
case in former seasons. The little
girls chn used to do this work have
learned by their connection with the
war-time munition factories that a

female Is entitled to more of dally sus
tenance than It was possible for her
to attain by doing embroidery. So
the new frocks show the strain. But
the Parisian designer gives us some
thing quite as lovely even though it
has but one-fourth Its former embroid
ery for adornment, yes, even though
there be no hand work at all and the
decoration Is found to be a product
of the good old American machine.
Rows of braid and bits of bright rib
\ bon do their part in producing an at
'tractive effect.
Leather Frocks and Trimming*.
A trimming that has taken first
rank Is leather. It Is handled in un
beard of ways and the result Is charm
ing. Sometimes it Is a narrow strip
of belt colored In a happy contrast to
a gown. Again It Is used as satin
wonld be for outside facing on cuffs
and skirt pockets. Sometimes it is
pieced into an all-o ter pattern and
sometimes It Is gotten up Into whole
' suits. An extravagant suit was made
of pink leather and trimmed with t
high collar of fuzzy black fur. Thei
there was an attractive gown of white
leather in the cut pattern. This w’as
trimmed with rows of black nail heads
and some strips of black patent
leather. It, too, was bizarre but at
tractive, perhaps a thing more tot
Paris than for an American city.
While the sleeves on most of these
dresses for day wear are short—often
extremely short—they are time and
again trimmed or finished with flow
ing cuffs which give an interesting
line to the silhouette. The cuffs are
set onto three-quarters or half-length

sleeves, and sometimes they even fln
| ish, in a thoroughly well done manner,
the ends of sleeves that are of the
; shortest.
Fur is used sparingly on frocks of
any sort. When it Is seen there are
apt to be narrow strips of it used as
though they might be strips of em
broidery. For this purpose moleskin
is popular, while kolinsky and seal
! come in for their usual attention.
Blue Chiffon, Blue Leather.
By way of using two materials
1 showing as great a contrast as it was
possible to obtain one designer showed
a frock made of dark blue chiffon
with dark blue leather (or kid) trim
mings You will wonder, if you have
not seen it, how this could possibly
be and what would be the effect pro
! dueed. Well, it was as pretty as any
thing that could be imagined. The
| leather was used as a wide edging for
the full peplum and It was worked
into the bodice as well as making
cuffs on the ends of the flowing
sleeves. Not a little of the charm of
this gown lay in the fact that the
whole was built over a lavender founda
tion.
Some of the neck lines on the new
j fall gowns are interesting because
I they are quite different from anything
| we have seen for some time. I mean
those which are cut in a V and which
are finished with frilled or shaped
collars standing up quite high at the
back of the neck, graduating in width
I as they reach the front, and gradually
tapering off into nothing in a point
somewhat below the bust. These are
sometimes made of silk or satin to
match the material of the gown in
color and sometimes they are com
posed largely of lace or organdie In a
[ plaited frill.
There are many varieties of blue
serge. One has a plaited waistcoat
made of crisp white organdie und a
high collar tied with a pert black bow
under the chin. This frock, for a very
young person, has a little flat apron
I effect at front and at back and the
panels are edged ail around, with the
serge done into a knife plaiting about
I two and a half Inches in width. The
panels, It may be added, are exten
sions of the waist and the skirt Is a
tight and short thing by itself.
Black Velvet Gowns.
A black velvet gown which attract
ed attention was made with a round
neck and cut practically In one
straight piece. For trimming there
ran up the back in a straight line at
either side, from hem to neck, rows of
little white crocheted yoses. They
were continued round the neckline.
■ By this method all of the trimming
! was confined to the back, the only
hint in front being the Inconspicuous
1 neck edging.
A black velvet gown was made with
two puffs over the hips. They wer*
i not overly sumptuous in appearance
Just large enough to show that pan
niers were In fashion. From these
the gathered skirt dropped straight tc
the hem, and the bodice was sllghtlj
fitted.
Many of the afternoon dresses show
a strong Loulx XIV Influence. There
are upstanding collars and frills, anc
even high necks with plaitings that
stand out underneath the chin. The
frills often form themselves into I
fichu line.

LETTERS FROM Ol'H READERS
COMMENDS MONITOR'S STAND
FOR CONSTITCTIONAL RIGHTS
Cyrus D. Bell Writes of Some Personal
Experiences With Improvement (Tub
and Quotes an Historic Statement
W hlch Proved Prophetic.
_’
To the Editor of The Monitor: I
cheerfully contribute the mite of my
congratulation for the excellent show
ing which is being made from week to
week through the columns of your pa
per in its merciless onslaughts against
the treasonable elements who labor
so industriously to prevent the prog
ress and happiness of colored people.
I have perused with extraordinary in
terest the several editorial articles, as
well as others from special corre
spondents, that have appeared during
the last half year or more, and 1 have
found genuine delight in noting the
remarkable force of logic, clear-cut
diction, the courageous and candid
presentation of facts that character
ized them without exception. It is a
fact, therefore, which 1 regard as an
extremely unfortunate one, that The
Monitor seems justified in charging
certain other individuals—presumably
colored people—as “planning now to
put another publication in the field"
to promote "their selfish aims and
short-sighted policy" of segregation.
And in this connection you very prop
erly ask the question: "Do the peo
ple want this?" It is undoubtedly the
| correct answer to this question when
you say that “our people desire a pa
| per that will fearlessly, but wisely
and sanely contend for their rights.
Some two or three months ago I had
a little personal experience in deal
ing with one of our so-called improve
ment clubs such as The Monitor so
accurately described in its issue of the
lkth inst. I have .resided in Omaha
considerably more than half a century,
having reached here but a little while
after marching with the immortal
heroes who followed that matchless
soldier and patriot, I'lysses S, Grant,
in his whirlwind campaign against
I Vicksburg. I have been paying taxes
on realty and personalty here for at
least 4k years, and it may prove par
ticularly interesting to Mr. Comer, -iAr.
Bussy and Mr. Stone, respectively
president, vice president and secretary
; of the Omaha View Improvement club,
j when I tell them and all other people
of like disposition that they will find
me credited in full to date for taxes
if they make inquiry. And another
thing they may learn by inquiring,
which Is of at least equal importance,
and that is that my neighbors have
never had to appeal to the police for
protection from any lawlessness or
rascality which I meditated commit
ting against them. But briefly stated
! my story amounts to this:
Two or three months ago the three
I gentlemen above named came to me
with the statement that the Omaha
View Improvement club had deputized
| them to inform me that the club had
adopted p resolution requiring of me
the withdrawal of my membership of
the club. As I had joined the organi
zation in response to several invlta
I t;ons, I was naturally surprised to
nolc the sttdden turn of things, and in
answer to my inquiry as to the cause,
Mr. Comer, acting as chief spokesman,
said that the prevailing sentiment was
averse to admitting colored persons
to membership as their presence at
social gatherings would prove a damp
er upon the festivities of such occa
sions. It is well to note in this con
nection that each one of these gentle
men disclaimed any sympathy with
such sentiment. Wouldn't It be an in
teresting undertaking for them to ex
plain to intelligent people how it hap
1 pened that they were selected to per
form such a conspicuous part in this
shady transaction? Plainly, it would
have been the part of brave men of
conscientious disposition to have gone
against such a proceeding from start
! to iiliish. and thus to have saved them
1 selves from the discreditable predica
! ment in which they now appear.
But perhaps the meanest act the
j club committed was that of soliciting
and obtaining from the school board
the use of one of our public school
1 buildings in which to hold its meeting,
! without the slightest intimation of
| its intentions to attempt to use it as a
center for dissemination of such dia
bolic and treasonable teaching as the
southern "Jim-erowism” and segre
gation.
When the fire-eating disloyalists of
Virginia had perfected their scheme
lor dragging the Old Dominion into
the vortex of treason, a deputation of
them called upon that greatest of
American sea fighters, David Glasgow
Farragut, w’ho was then on “waiting
orders” at Norfolk, and informed him
that Virginia was no longer a safe
place for people of his political senti
ment to live. "If 1 cannot live here
in safety," responded the intrepid tar,
"I shall go where I can.” And he con
cluded with the fateful words of warn
ing to them: "But mark my words,
you fellows are going to catch hell
before you get through with this busi
ness." Every Intelligent student of
civil war history knows the sequel.
