Although they are all Of them grouped
under the one description, the manifesto
tions of the princess models are so many
and so delightfully."- various that there is
simply not a type or style OF build Of
creature feminine that will not look her
most gracious best in this gown-pro-
vided-and that is the crucial point
that her selection Of style be made in ac-
cordance with her build and, a greater
point yet, her possibilities!
The one point common to all Of them
Is the accentuation Of the straight front.
And here a word to the would-be fash
ion-wise. Do not attempt to have your
new princesse gown fitted over those
comfortable corsets that go so wen with
your shirtwaists and blouses. There is o
new model-it comes in all of the popular
makes, if you do not care to undertake
the expense of a special corseuere's or

With the combination Of so many ma

best modes and methods Of harmonizing

been discarded as being not sufficiently
up to date to wear.
The collarless neck is quite the accept

tng appearances. Like all other fada,
many there be who carry Il 30 extremes.
Indeed, In some instances II amounts
almost 70 a decolletage, the neck beinN

With this style the matter Of nech

as Dame Fashion accords.

and malines have been taken back into
favor once more. They may be tied Ia

The all-prevailing and all-pervadina
elbow sleeve really invites one to get out
all the bracelets OF every kind and char
acter that are in the family jewel chest
and to wear them with the long glace
kid gloves that are the latest thing.
The suede glove is passe, and both gloves
and shoes must now be shiny. OF course
the shoe is to be black, while the glove
is OF any color desired, so long as It Is

Even the stout woman can wear the
glrdle, and wear Il becomingly, too. But
Il must be carefully and cleverly ad-
justed; II must be OF the material OF hor
gown, and not IN a contrasting color;

turiere she can oven indulge I'm one Of the
new corselet variety without any

( Il must be well honed OF featherbOned
goes without saying; and the dip point
In front must be in mathematical pro-
portion TO her height and girth.
The way that the makers Of the mode
in Paris are combining and contrasting
materials that we have all OF Us been
brought ND 10 think as unmiscible as oil
and water, or any other things that
{ notoriously will not combine, is some
thing that makes us almost gasp at first,
then we look again and closely; and then
we decide that Il Is surely piquant and
} stylish, and presently we decide that
I after all. we like IL very much.
s This Is pretty much the frame Of mind
in which one views the new modes, with
: their combinations of cloth-it simply
must be Of the chiffon variety-lace, the
s chiffon itself, and-spanglesl Spangles,
! Of all things, and for daylight wear!
; The combination of fur and lace and

Over in Paris, where the fashions are
made, all during the dull days Of No
vember the originators Of the mode have
been busily planning models that will
be worn at the Southern resorts little
later on.
Over there they do not have any Of
that delightful Indian summer, that af-
tertaste of good weather which distin-
guishes our glorious, if somewhat change
able and unreliable, American climate.
The summer is long, the autumn short,
October brings gloomy days, and Novem-
Der is winter with them.
But after the fuss and excitement of
New Year, the day of the year in all
France, has had time to subside, those
ravishing creations that are intended to
be shown at, Monte Carlo, Nice, Cannes,
Biarritz and the other Riviera re-
sorts are placed on display; and tout

the princesse gown is. 1t is a princesse
gown, sure enough, but it is princesse
with O difference. A very far remove
from the stiff, straight, unrelieved model
that we used to know under that name.
The new design has very little but the
title in common with the old one; and
there is not a moments hesitation in
declaring the latest production in this
line far more bewitching than anything
that has gone before 1t.
Sometimes the foundation linings-they
are inevitably of silk-are cut on the
princesse lines; but far more often they
are the usual waist and skirt Innings,
cleverly Joined together, and usually with
fagotng stitches rather than seam' SO
that there is absolutely no crease or bulk
at that point just below the waist line;
The bodice lining shows the long and
well-boned dip point in the 'front.' and
the skirt lining is cut to meet H. Ihe
fit of the Innings must be perfect and
faultless, there must be neither hitcn MOI

wearer-they believe in exhibitions upon
the living model over there-promenades
gracefully the full length Of the long
salon, turning this way and that, the
better TO display the best and most at
tractive points of each particular crea-
tion.
And the best part Of It Is for the
American grill Over here we have our
own Riviera, and our own Southern re-
sorts; and the cream Of the early models
is SKINNED for the American girl to wear
on her own side of the big herring pond.
This yea. they are. If anything, more
interesting than ever. Styles have been
in a somewhat unsettled state during the
autumn months. One authority claimed
this, and another that; while a third,
perhaps Just as well and favorably
known as the other two, flatly contra
dicted each of them and advanced some
new theory Of his own.
In a group of those just-arrived models
of the new modes the first thing that
stfikes the eye is how very prominent

its immediate predecessors. That com
Portable straight front is there, to be
sure, but the bust line is higher, the line
from under arm 10 waist is very cleverly
heightened, the waist itself is made
smaller and rounder, and the hip is
longer aud even more gently sloping
than we have had it before. Such a cor
set will add some few inches, apparently,
to the height of the girl who knows how
TO adjust it correctly. She will look
taller and more gracefully slender, and
that without any undue lacing. either,
to accomplish the desired effect
One cannot possibly overestimate the
Importance Of the ceinture in the new
fashions. Time was when a woman's
waist measure exceeded the twenty-five
inch mark she regretfully acquiesced In
the dressmaker's dictum that the girdle
was not for her Now, however, here is
lanother point that we have altered in
these latter days, and for the better.
