The controversy over the correct width
Of belt and its proper position upon the
gown is still raging. and II does not look
as though there were much chance of Its
being settled for some little time to come.
Through 1t all. however, there Is slow
but steady tendency of the waist line to
become elongated. and the dip in front,
with sharp upward turn Of the belt
toward an empire back. is surely disap-
pearing. and in its place there is left a
separate waist and skirt. with a belt either
attached to the bodice separate and of
any width that is most becoming to the
wearer On a few OF the new models q
long buckle Is worn in front and on others
the belt is fastened In back with hand
some ornament OF gold or rhnestones or
with an intricate ribbon rosette. while
again one or two models have reverted to
the old high draped girdle-all OF which
goes to show that It is impossible to find
anything new In the world OF fashion as

If one Is at all clever or an exceptionally
fortunate shopper she can find at this
time of year many real bargains among
the model costumes that for some unac-
countable reason have escaped being picked
up during the right season. and, of course.
any silk gown ordered now cannot fail to
prove of the greatest service all through
the autumn-that dreadful time OF year
when every garment looks old and sloppy.
and yet 1t seems almost wrong to purchase
distinct outfit for a few short weeks be-
fore winter gowns are possible.

that now, late on in the. season. the polka
dot has returned. but apparently is much
chastened by its ostracism and Is incon-
spicuous and somewhat meek. but emily
ened by its trimmings and the models into
which it is fashioned. A white foulard
with striped effect In black, green or blue
polka dot is smart and Is also attractive In
the light shades, with the color carried out
prominently in the trimming. Folds of the
material line both waist and skirt with
lace vest or yoke and sleeve ruffies, the
white being necessarily near the face If
the dress is to be becoming. Dyed lace is
being used again on the darker silks. and
cream and ecru lace are both fashionable
even where there Is considerable white in
the material. Deep yellow filet is about
the most effective lace OF it's kind and is
seen on nearly all the newest silk gowns.
Some of this lace is so deep In color as to
look almost like dull gold, and then the
hlet. embroidered in either gold silver
is also very smart. Both dull and SATIN
finished foulards are fashionable and are
used Interchangeable for simple and elabo-
rate gowns, although when foulard was in
favor before-some years ago. that is-the
satin finished silk was used for all elaborate
costumes. while the dull silk was RELOCATED

Young girls seem to prefer rather an exag-
geratedly short length, but If the material
just clears the ground comfortably all
around the skirt answers all requirements
for walking and is infinitely more graceful
and more becoming than when short enough
to cut the good lines Of the figure. Simply
trimmed skirts are still conspicuously
numerous. but elaboration is never alto
