FASHIONS AT EXPOSITION
PARiSIAN DRESSMAKERS HINT AT SUR
PRISES FOR THE COMING SUMMER.

Paris May 4.
1t is possible that skirt may spring into
popularity this quickly the pleated
skirt became the vogue last autumn. The dress
makers are showing models of full, round skirt
decidedly boufant over the hips. This, so far,
seems to be worn with bodices ON which there is
some corselet effect and the tout ensemble is per-
haps suggestive of the Marie Antonette. This is
far removed from the plain skirts which have so
long cung about the hips of modish women. But
the full skirt is not universally becoming and 1t Is
doubtful if it will gain general popularity for this
To be sure, many years ago practically everybody
wearing such shape. but women have grown
wiser since then, and there is little chance to-day of
any style becoming obligatory that is not uni
versaIly becoming. The fact that the very tight
skirt suitable to only a few figures was the
reason of its short vogue. and the general be-
ccmingness Of the peated skirt explains sudden
popularity last fall. It is the dressmakers who
change the fashions and their clients who make
them But after all the full round skirt has
rived and those to whom It is becoming may safely
order it
Some quaint effects in the soft materials with
which the market is stocked certainly possi-
BILE with this form of skirt. The models given be-
low will explain the shape in which the round skirt
has been presented Parisians. The demoiselles
d'honneur at recent fashionable wedding had
skirts made in this way, and few examples of
the mode have appeared on the stage of the boule-
ward theatres. but the idea is supposedly advanced
a possible summer success. One dresSmaker
goes so far TO say that it will be the Grand
Prx skirt of this year; another shrugs her shou-
ders and while she has example two to
show is Indifferent the subject.
The first gown is a satin faced fouard in tabac
brown, fecked with spots of turquoise blue in
which there dots of white. The skirt is
trimmed and shrred to give extreme bouffant
effect behind and the sides. There is for bod
ice blouse of white lace held by high belt of
blue panne, and over this one of the new full
boleros. This little jacket is low. as Is the
usual dressy boero, has shirred yoke. and from
this the material goes about the figure into the
side seam at the back. This dress would hardly be
suitable for any but very slender figure.
