the candidate had been met In Italy by

had been met at Avignon. The error
was discovered, and the society proceed'

When do Fashions Change
This very curious question is giv
en a logical inircprctauon in the
January issue of Good Housekeep
ing. To quote: "The question is
about as easy to answer as that old
conundrum, 'How old is Anne?'
But as a matter of fact the best an
swer would be that fashions are al
ways changing, and it is the subtle, 1
little change that comes between
seasons that frequently gives the
note of the mere radical change
that comes with the turn of the
season be it during spring or aut
umn. Just now the winter fashions
are at their height.
One is struck by two things;
first, the simplicity that marks the
really well-dressed woman, and sec
ond the lavish use of fur. Logical
ly enough, there is a war-time feel
ing that we should be moderate in
dress, and this moderation is to be
noticed but owing to the cold in
Paris, furs have been employed for
the reason for which they were ori
ginally intended, warmth. And we
here have followed this fashion, not
alone for its warmth, but for its
beauty. Castor and nutria are worn
more than any other fur, and are
universally becoming." The article
is concluded with a number of very
practical illustrations and suggestions.
