Dress is a poem. Never before has a
winter season presented a wider
range Of fascinating styles as are
witnessed this year. The iaste for
historical costumes is increasing as
we go on, and indeed dressmaking,
at the present time, absolutely re
quires some kr-wledge of the cos
tunes Of the past. Such knowledge
IS especially needed in Ball Dresses,
as the latter more closely resemble
their historical models. It is also in
evening receptions that one. e e
those revived styles, such as the
Henri II, the Regence, the 1915, ETC.,
which do not appear on the street in
their pristine garb. In order to find
ones way in this labyrinth of old and
new fashions one has only to consult
the Mcdowell Fashion Magazines
published at 4 West 18th Street,
New York City. They furnish every
needed information in a most practical
manner. "Paris Album of Fashion"
and La Mode de Paris" are in
valuable, and they each cost only
$3.50 a year, or IS cents a copy.
