THE PARIS STARE CRAZE

The latest Parisian craze is the 'stare' . In order to do this fashion

one must assume a look of utter abstraction and appear to be gazing

at something unseen by others in your group. You must open your

eyes very wide. What not will fashion's votaries do?

The fashions are growing more eccentric by the day, the more

extream the more popular they become. Lace is regaining it's past

favor and for the past few years has not been used much but now all

kinds are in great demand. Black lace flounces are is favor for

trimming silks and velvets as are the Paris felt hats. There are jetted

net flounces that must be scantly gathered to show their beauty wrought

with gold or silver. Some of the prettiest are studded with turquoises ,

gold or pink coral with silver.
