New Tforltv By LADY DUFF GORDON (“Lucile") I HAVE some news for you thin week about next season s sash iona. but before I give you thia little peep Into the future I want to bring before you, if 1 can. a mental picture, at any rate, of the present mode as displayed to absolute per faction by a certain lovely Annul can girl (there was no mistaking her nationality, even though 1 never heard her speak) whom I saw and admired whole-heartedly at the Ritz the other night. She was tn very truth “divinely tall" and fair, and her willowv figure was just swathed in flesh-colored chiffon over, of course, ninon and char meuae of the same delicately sug geative shade, though of these Inner fabrics there was no outer sign, so cleverly was Iho most filmy of the three materials ar ranged. It was. In fact, the au preme triumph of the apparently unstudied simplicity, which, as I well know, demands the greatest •kill for its su~c< ssful interprets tlon. nd furthermore, being wise above most women, this beautiful creature had crowned her flesh colored robe ; » her fair, smoothly curled hair with an enormous black hat, also and absolutely un trimmed, so th there was nothing to break its marvellous "line.” For c iments 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 shoes and stockings were also flesh-colored in tint and respectively charmeuse and silk 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 have photographed this delightful costume so that it might be shown in my story this week. But I am sending vou pic tures of three costumes that are just as perfect in their wav as the one I have just described. Ah you already know. gray green amt green-blue are favorite comblna tlons of mine.

Eor 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. Imt I read further and dis covered that these gowns must lie 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 le|| her that I wanted a joy ruffle ou my pink gown or that the melancholy piping was out of place on the fawn I forsook that branch of beauty advice and felt grateful that I had not gone too far to turn back.

The beautiful health must be a strong, capable, purposeful con dition with a keen interest in the joy of living tind doing.

But yet 1 was not discouraged. In fact, I was sub limely happy, for at the moment 1 discovered that good health means beauty I found “Try-New-Life.” "Try-New-Life 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. Winter used to he a dread to me. It meant a mis erable bronchial cough which caused sleepless nights, and brought anxious looks on Mother’s face. “Eve lyn’s cough” was the most important topic of con versation from November until the spring violets ap peared. Now we have a pleasanter subject with which to beguile our friends. It is “ Try-New-Life. ”* We can be sympathetic with all their ills and enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that we can suggest a real remedy far superior to herb tea or goose grease. When a friend says to me. “ Eve lyn. I have a splitting headache." 1 no longer have to reply that I am sor ry and wish I could help her. 1 do help her.

Success. say I am—outrageously well.’ 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. but now they are as ready as I am to admit that the wonder worker will remedy all chronic ailments. It is a simple principle—aiding Nature in her work, l.t is a pleas- - ant treatment and a rest fid on e. There is no sensa tion of being doc tored or disturbed. Best of all. it is a real remedy with no 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 arc save in emergencies when a shock is needed. Perhaps I ought to give you scientific reasons for its wonder-working. But I think I can do something for you that will be more beneficial. I shall tell you where it is demonstrated and sold - •1 M.

In creating a skirt of this kind I drape it on the living model. As .'on will see, this drapery caught up as it is in the back, gives a semi-pannier effect. I w ish that I might show you a view of the back. The crepe is '.toped through a wide crystal buckle just above the knees the bodice is a modification of ni> 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. 1 like particularly the collar and apron of cream-colored lace This collar and apron and the edgo 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 and is suitable for the races or any in town formal occasion. The akirt is shirred at the bottom in the back and this edge is bound with brown skunk fur. The front, fastening is novel and Is being accepted by all chic Paris lenaes. The skirt is very plain. The green satin buttons and small loops are its only decorations. Tn 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 used touches of chenille embroid ery also. The long tassel It 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 sash and gold tassels and the knob-like gold buttons are decidedly chi« touches to this severe costume. Os course, a tiny lace collar is worn, ami 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. I
