New York, Jan. 25.--The long slim
lines. to a figure that were pIedicted
some time ago are now appearing very
frequently In models and in gowns
worn by the fashionable set In the
evening. There are no hip Knes--ib
must be one curve from above TIE
waist line to below the hips. This
figure is the only one that can wear
the paquin skirt. The wasp waist -
also predicted. Already 1t has been
seen on a number OF women. Tunica
are being fitted much tighter from the
waist line to the knees. giving an al
most straight line.
There are very few sleeves that are
now being, made that can be called
pretty, and It is really unusual TO have
them made of the same matexiat as the
rest Of the gown. Evening dresses
show sleeves OF chiffon. lace or sopas
transparent stun, laid In deep folds
Anything but lace may be Wrtnkieo
the full length. praperies and doa4-
ing sleeves are very fashionable. These
are open on the top Of the arm ana are
caught together by ornaments. Cos.
tunes of broadcloth have the sleeves
of that material coming down over the
top of the arm N folds or naetered out
and buttoned over. Paris Is showing
positively tight fitting sleeves with no
gathers at the armhole, on the newest
tailored suits. 81
Evening wraps are 80 very much In
fashion that 1t IL worth ones while TO
notice all these, elegant garneuNA "A
very charming one was made OF ceFtee
cloth, finished with jermine that had .
narrow piping along the edges OF blue
cloth. The lining was Of ermine ana q
cravat of pastel blue cloth was knoeee0
together in front. Another wrap.
equally as beautiful was OF Jade-green
Liberty finished - the bottom With
deep tucks set between bias folds 9t
velvet of the same shade. Around the
neck was a braided design which was
made of narrow biases of chiffon satin,
in blue, cream color, black and green
combined. and these .coloFs were also
knotted together IN q cravat
A touch OF gilt Is noticeable on all
the gowns of the season whether they
are for the house or street wear. Brown
is a color that holds. its popularity and
gold is particularly effective with II.
There are gilt ornaments and clasps,
braid with fne gold thread running
through 1t; and also brass buttons n
small sizes and large fiat styles. At
lantic blue broadcloth Is charming
when trimmed with gilt ornaments and

match the waistcoat, the umbrella

a wooden handle to match the gown;
