By LADY DUFF GORDON (“Lucile”) I HAVE some news for you this week about next season s sash lons, but before I give you thia little peep into the future I want to bring before you. if I can. a mental picture, at any rate, of the present mode as displayed to absolute per faction by a certain lovely Ameri can girl (there was no mistaking her nationality, even though I never heard her speak) whom I saw and admired whole-heartedly at the Ritz the other night. She was in very truth “divinely tall” and fair, and her willowy figure was Jus', swathed in flesh-colored chiffon-- over, of course, ninon and char meuse of the same delicately sug gestive shade, though of these inner fabrics there was no outer sign, so cleverly was the most filmy of the three materials ar ranged. It was. in fact, the su preme triumph of the apparently unstudied simplicity, which, as 1 well know, demands the greatest •kill for its successful interpreta tion. nd furthermore, being wise above most worn' -, this beautiful creatur had crowned her flesh colored robe c i her fair, smoothly curled hair with an enormous black hat; also and absolutely un trimmed. so th there was nothing to break its m rvellous “line." For < ments she had just a rope of perfect pearls hanging almost to her knees, and one huge single pearl ring, and. perhaps, I need hardly tell you. that her shoos and stockings were also flesh-colored in tint and respectively charmeuse and stlk as to their fabric. The cor sage of the dress was arranged in a deeply cut V about the neck, while the sleeves continued their shirred softness of chiffon far over the hand. I should like to hate photographed this delightful costume so that, it might he shown in my story this week. But I am sending you pic tures of three costumes that are just as perfect in their wav as the one I have just described. As you already know, gray-green and green-blue are favorite eouibina tions of knine. One of ntv Paris costumers tells me that green must he my “mascot!’ color. 1 always like a touch of it on everything 1 make If green, then, is lU y mascot color, the afternoon gown I am showing you must be my “mascot" dress, for it Is created of green blue crepe charmeuse, the heavy lustrous kind that drapes almost without effort.

For instance: One mood, not unlike that ol a child anticipating a pleasure, re quired a pink gown : another, lavender, etc. This would have been simple enough, but I read further and dis covered that these gowns must be made according to certain rules or they would entirely fail in their pur pose. I imagined the look of unfeigned fear on my dressmaker s face, should I tell her that I wauled a jov rutile on my pink gown or that the melancholy piping was out of place <m the fawn. I forsook that branch of beauty advice and felt grateful that I had not gone 100 far to turn back. I'heii the endless diets, exercises, aiipiialie- s and suggestions were followed with almost fiendish eager ness. After a I utile search for beauty by all the roads presented by The Beautiful I one day despaired. It was in my desperate hour that I discovered the real secret of beauty good health. Xoi the half-way health which causes one to avoid certain dishes for fear- of indigestion, nor the half-hearted stale which lacks enthusiasm for pleasure. Tim beautiful health must be a strong, capable, purposeful con dition with a keen interest in the joy of living and doing.

But yet I was not discouraged. In fact, I was sub limely happy, for at the moment I discovered that good health means beauty I found “Try-New-Life.’’ Iry-New Lite is well described by its name. I no longer needed to lame muscles, bruise flesh and endure tortures for the sake of gaining health and beauty. All I needed was this simple, marvelous inven tion to cure all ills and become my physical best. W inter used to he a dread to me.

Then “Try-New-Life” is what you need to change you from a person half alive to one radiantly well and vibrant. The list of ailments for which my friends and my family have used “Try-New-Life” would make the index of a medical encyclopedia envious. At first it was hard to convince some of my friends that neuralgia could be positively cured by its use, hut now they are as ready as 1 am to admit that the wonder worker will remedy all chronic ailments. It is a simple principle—aiding Nature in her work. It is a pleas ant treatment and a restful one. There is no sensa tion of being doc tored or disturbed. Best of all, it is a real remedy with rm disagreeable af ter-effects. The day of drugging has pass- ed. We no longer rush for medicine or the doctor for every little ailment. Our doctors despise us if we do, for they know full well how ineffective drugs are save in emergencies when a shock is needed. Perhaps I ought to give you scientific reasons for its wonder-working.

Advantage in These Afternoon Costumes *nd used lengthwise so that no seams are necessary. In creating a skirt of this kind I diape it on the living model. A» you will see, this drapery caught up as it is in the back, gives a semi-pannier effect. I wish that I might show vou a 'lew of the back. The crepe is >oped through a wide crystal duckie just above the knees. The bodice is a modification of my peasant model. You will notice that there are no armholes. Little turn back cuffs of Nile green satin are the only finish on the sleeves t nKe particularly the collar and apron of cream-colored lace This collar and apron and the edge of the skirt are piped with the green satin. One of the tenets of my faith is that the girdle either greatly enhances, or mars the gown. The girdle on this costume is Oriental In design. It is made of curious flowers in shades of rose, blue and green. And still another green afternoon gown is here pictured. This sec ond costume is more formal than tne first. It is of satin charmeuse •nd is suitable for the races or any in town formal occasion. The skirt is shirred at the bottom in the back and this pdge is bound with brown skunk fur. The front fastening is novel and is being accepted by all Ohio Parie lenaes. The skirt is very plain. The green satin buttons and small loops are its only decorations. In this coat, the sleeves are long, nar row and set in several Inches below the shoulder line. The length of the sleeve necessarily gives the smart mousquetaire effect. The girdle is exquisite. It Is Oriental. The beads are vari colored and Iridescent and I have ured touches of chenille embroid ery also. The long tassel is of green silk. The third costume of blue serge and gold braid I call my army gown. The front of the skirt Is severely lain. The back Is draped just above the ankles. The girdle of gold braid with its black eash •nd gold tassels and the knob-like gold buttons are decidedly ehie touches to this severe costume. Os course, a tiny lace collar is worn, and cuffs to match In this costume the armholes are four inches below the normal line, Os course, the hat is small and simple. It is of pale gold velour and the military pompon is of vieux blue. “Try-New-Life”—My secret of health.
