Ifi ||g| Have no heads of their own,
JSkSdSi an(i always follow tn the
footsteps of other fashions. What
ever the period of the gown, the hat
must conform to it. Fancy how
distrait a Quaker bonnet would be,
worn with aruftled basque dress o?
the time of Louis Philippe. And
since &owns elect to be of this period,
Hats for Formal and
Informal Wear
follow with an abandon of big, bows
such as fashionable dames and dem
oiselles of 1830 wore. They follow
with yards of lace festooned m 1840
style over the back of broad bnms,
and with lon& narrow black lace
scarves swathed about the throat
and studded with roses.

HIGH HEELED PUMPS for

Diirmfc the unsettled rei&n of Louis
Philippe the streets of Paris were
poorly kept so that the Parisienne
uni versally adopted hi?h heeled shoes.
Pumps with the short French vamps,
modified French vamps or slender
vamps all with hi%h heels are in per?
fect accord with this revival of Louis
Philippe fashions. Satin foot wear was
the favorite then as. it is today, but
one may also choose hi?h heeled
pumps in suede or soft kid.

ASHIONS, like Empires, follow the spirit of the age"
wrote a French magazine of 1834, and fashions of that
Sl day were changeable as a flame in the wind. One
day the breath of a belated Democracy chilled them into som
berness. Another day the breath of-Empire blew, and
fanned fashion into flame ? brilliam ?owns with square*cut
Raphael bodices, Russian g,reen for bravado, or pigeon's blood
for sentiment. One day there were snug silk bodices and bil
lowed skirts, another, the classic ?owns characteristic of part of
the Louis Philippe reign. By.research and development, Franklin
vSimon & Co present ?owns, showing all these influences.
AN ENGAGING COLLECTION OF GOWNS,
SUITABLE FOR THE COUNTLESS OCCASIONS
OF THE LITTLE SEASON AFTER EASTER
The basque. dresses, the strai&htline redingotes, dresses with
fullness below the knees are here. And thou&h for inspiration
they go back to Paris of ninety years ago, they are developed
with the cachet of Paris of today, made of soft taffeta the Paris?
ienne is wearing now, and in the newest French combinations
cf taffeta, ?peasaut lace, and batiste embroidered a TAn^laise. In
color. they echo both the somber and ?ay days of the Louis
Philippe Empire?pure Ethopian, dark blue, mole, brown, jade
green, or Al&erian red. And these frocks are no less reminis
cent of the roraance of that short French Empire, than they
are appropriate for all the occasions of the Little * Season?
for formal or informal afternoon wear, restaurant wear, the
luncheon, the theatre, the races or for the charming hour of tea.
