IS the length and, wnlie MANUFACTURERS
will no doubt regret this different style,
the consumers will rejoice. for this means
| that about three pairs of short ones may
be bought for the same price as was
paid for one long pair.
A Partisan Novelty.
A red, FED rose" full blown and with
| long stem and leaves, pinned just where
madames cutaway coat fastens, Is one
of the latest hints from gay Paree." OF
course it isn't a real one for that would
| fade and new one would be needed
several times day. but 1t is of soft silk
and velvet, made by the skilled French
Hover makers No one would guess that
1t was not fresh from the dollhouse, ex-
cept from the fact that 1T is almost more
beautiful than its model. The exact shade
of red, the exact size OF the large Ameri-
can Beauty, 1t is most perfect repre-
sentation.
Just why the F'renchwoman has adopted
this new idea Is not known. but it is
probably one of those evidences of the
Paris sense OF the artistic. Paris women
dare to indorse some surprising new
fancy vogue which women in other coun-
tries would be too timid to try.
The vogue of the red rose and the
taflor-made suit has taken a firm hold
in Paris. and now, with the advent of
the new fall styles in our city, it remains
to he seen whether Miss America will
| initiate her Partisan sister.
Length of Skirts.
The American woman has sworn al
legiance to the short skirt for walking
and hackabout coat costumes and prefers
this round length or the skirt just es
Gaping the floor for semiformai afternoon
occasions. when the demi-tailored coat
and skirt may be worn. The dictates of
the Paris modistes cannot swerve her
from this sensible course. 1t must also
be admitted that American women adhere
a bit too closely to the just escaping the
floor skirt when indoors to meet the re
quirements of grace or of fashion There
is no garment more conductive to grace
than the trailing skirt, and 1t should be
worn by every woman in her own home
and for formal occasions whenever pos
sihle. The arguments in favor of the
superior cleanliness of short skirts do not
hold good in well kept houses.
Fall Colors
There is fresh rose which is worn for
the early evening occasions, and there
are the pale rose tones which come out
later for the midnight cotillon and for
late evening wear, such as 10 O'Clock re-
ceptions and the suppers which follow
evening dances
Hydrangea Is a color which is to be
worn q great deal, and this, with deep
rose wi rather engage the attention
for day wear. Both hydrangea and rose
look well In chiffon cloth and in pretty
silks and satins, and they can be Sc
lected in cashmere, flannel and other
light weight goods.
Corn co.or is having a renaissance. and
It is first favorite with women who can
wear 1t. and this includes almost the
whole army of womanknd. for there are
very few who cannot put on corn color
with safety.
Jumper dresses IN one and two pieces
are now having sleeves Of the matters al,
so that the only separate article of the
costume is the guimpe, and less of that
is shown than formerly, SO that instead
of whole blouse or very deep guimpe
a shallow one may be worn. The threa-
quarter length sleeve is the prettiest and
dressiest for these, and then, II one de-
sires, a cuff in the lace or other material
forming the gutmpe may be attached.
The one-piece jumper Is much prettier
than the two, but is, of course, more
difficult to manage in the making.
Red Lips a Beauty Fad.
The Parisians are SO determined to
have cherry lips that they redden their
lips and make no secret of it. They use
vegetable preparations that are not pois-
onous.
For those who object to artificial red
dening there are other ways of making
the lips red. When one is out calling or
shopping it Is only necessary to touch
them with the teeth to make them red.
Do not bite the lips, but merely press
them against the teeth, or the lips can
be moistened and firmly pressed together.
This will make them glow pretti1y.
Actresses apply to the lips at night
lotion of glycerin and rosewater, half
