(TP a DRESS Smartly Dressed French Actress Introduces the Italian Rennais sance One piece Frock for the House. (Copyright by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) NEW YORK, Dec 13. Mile. Lillian Gauze, who has arrived from Paris to play a number of important roles in the French theater in New York, has brought with her some very good looking clothes. The Theater Francals is well estab lished in New York and it has present' ed the opportunity for tho etudy of French to those who are struggling to arrive at fluency in the language, and given a delightful social opportunity to that large class of Americans who have spoken French from childhood.

It is a distinct bit of foreign life this Theater Francals set down in the midst of 'a city that is the clearing house of all Americanism. Everything about it is Gallic. One might be at the Marigny on the Champs Elysees. The audience is mainly made up of French people, one hears very little English during the evening and the acting, while it is not done by any of the celebrated French artists, has sufficient talent and brilliancy in it to make it very worth while. Eccentric ranch Dressing.

There are so many French people in New York today that we are getting a good idea of how the French women put on their clothes, and, incidentally, we are seeing an immense amount of eccentric dressing, which New York has heard of, more than Indulged in. Heaven knows there Is enough eccentricity 'on these streets to satisfy those who call loudly for individualism, but it has always been of the American brand, unmistakable, and usually absurd. The eccentricities of this winter are so Gallic that one does not need to ask who the woman Is that wears the costume. Our streets are filled with these foreigners, men and women, and one sees costumery that belongs so definitely to the Boulevards that.it gives one a puzzled feeling of uncertainty about clothes. Some of them are very bad and the critics of French clothes insistently point these out to women as an example of what we are trying to follow, but the women at the French theater wear clothes on the stage which are made for them by the best French dressmakers and which do not present eccentricity.

They are well worth copying. The Prevalence of Long Sleeves. Mile. Gauze is one of the actresses who has her clothes made in France and who wears them well, although as we sometimes see her at restaurants in the evening, she indulges in the overvivid dressfng of the artistic set in Paris that does not pretend to adopt the clothes of the fashionables. choruses were: Lucille Swartz, Irma and Margaret Lewis Miriam Mahon, Hannah Johnson, Carolyn Williams, ooo Mrs.

GAUZE OF THE FRENCH THEATER, IN NEW YORK. IT IS DESIGNED BY DRECOLL FROM THE RENAISSANCE PERIOD. The gown which is sketched today is one which was designed for Mile. Gauze. As a bit of the Italian renaissance, it has the long velvet sleeves to which it is well to bring attention.

This kind of sleeve is slipping into fashion wherever there's a looi ole. is made in a variety of ways, but always long, and it has become so smart that the transparent sleeve in a blouse or a house gown Is already a trifle second class. This gown is of deepest blue velvet, with a moderately wide skirt, and there is a design of heavy embroidery with bullion threads at the waistline. This does not confine the figure, but merely breaks the long line of the garment. The top of the bodice, hack and front, is of black satin, and the decolletage, which is the fashionable one for ail indoor gowns today, opens well out i the shoulders and is embroidered to match the girdle.

The full sleeves are gathered into a snug wristband of this same embroidery.

Tho scarcity of white paper material is causing tlin most rigid investigation into the use of spruce wood for purposes for which soma other material might erve. The United Slates Forest Products Laboratory at Madison, Wisconsin, has lately been experimenting in using poplar, and ash for making butter boxes. Cotton wood, when green, gives off an odor, which, it was believed, would be absorbed by the butter.

Tests have been made of boxes constructed of thoroughly seasoned cotton wood. Butter packed in them was set away for a week and at the end of that time, professional butter graders decided that the butter contained no trace of foreign flavor. The use of the cotton wood for food packing will release millions of pounds of wood for paper making each I year. PERSONALS Mrs. Kathryn L.

WHEN BLACK ISN'T MOURNING Within the last few years black and black and white combinations have been developed along such highly decorative lines, both in clothes and furniture, that it is rather hard to think of this mid night hue as being the color slgnflcant of mourning. There is such a difference In the way we use black nowadays. Never since the days of the Egyptian temple builders, who used lust enouch and not a bit too much black in combina tion with reds, blues, and yellows, to bring out the vividness of those colors and at the same time to tone them into more Interesting contrasts, has black been handled so skillfully as of late. And now we use it most effectively with white and thereby produce combinations ten time more brilliant, more strikingly than would be possible with the bright est rainbow hues. Perhaps, because b'ck has been com bined with white so strikingly, women in mourning are especially careful not to wear black and white combinations, i For Men, Women, Misses and Children Men's Bath and Lounging Robes $4.00 to $12.00 Men's Combination Bathrobes and Slipper Sets $6.50 to $12.00 Women's Bath and Lounging Robes $2.00 to $5.00 Children's Bathrobes, 6 to 14 Years $2.00 and $2.50 Women's Flannelette Kimonos, $1.00 to $3.50 Uidlerwear For Every Member of the Family The prices of underwear, in both cotton and wool, have gradually been rising for the past year, and from present indications will continue to advance for an indefinite period.
