women, of course. would have known;
they are so smart about those things.
In proof of this contention: there
was a Directoire gown at the ball
game Sunday, but it didn't attract the
least attention, at least nobody rub
bered. A Topeka dressmaker built it
and it was a very smart example OF
the street Directoire. 1t was of white
linen, high as to waist. and clinging as
to skirt, but of course as II was Tor
street wear IL was minus the train.
There were probably not half a dozen
people in the grand stand who even
noticed it or who recognized it as one
of the notorious Directories.
"Tell me about this Directoire
gown a man said to woman friend
this morning. rs there anything in
il? ?"
THAT depends" she replied. There
was at Berkson's, yesterday, of course,
but when some of the Skinny Sisters

call these high-waisted, skimpy-skirt-

The first public exhibition in To-
peka of the much-advertised Direc-
toire gown was made at Berkson's $
Tuesday by a good-looking young pro-
fessional model and the show drew a
capacity crowd. This particular Di-
rectoire model was the real thing, a
pretty accurate reproduction of the
gowns worn by the women of the
period of the French Directory. The
material of the gown was a very sup
pie and satiny broadcloth in the shade
known as mole skin and it was COM
bined with filet lace over Copenhagen
blue. The bodice was high, the sleeves
were long and the skirt trailed a num-
ber of inches on the floor. The only
sensational feature of the costume
was. indeed, the skirt which was of the
sheath variety, fitting the figure close
ly from the high waist line to below
the knees. and slashed on the left side
from the hem to the knee to display
more than glimpse of blue silk hose
and slippers. The mOdeIS only petit
coat was short one of white silk held
in at the knees with a rubber band,
bloomer fashion.
1t is safe to say the Directoire
model as shown in Topeka Tuesday
In fact, 1t will not be worn in polite
society, whatever that may be. The
modified Directoire. otherwise called
the sheath. is, however, an establish
ed fact. and the modish afternoon and
evening gowns are now being built on
these lines with the high waist line,
and the long. clinging skirt worn with
out petticoats. The slashed Direc-
toire is worn only on the stage and for
advertising purposes by professional
models for fashionable shops. The
slashed skirt, however. will be sug-
gested in overskirts and other modifi-
cations, but of course no Perfect Lady
of the present day would wear a slash
ed skirt without an under skirt in
society.
The Directoire gown has been very
widely and cleverly advertised and has
been the most discussed topic of the
season in this country and abroad. but
for all that 1t Is a good deal of a fake.
The Directoire as 1t is now being worn
by fashionable women in the more
advanced cities and as it will be worn
in Topeka at functions this fall and
winter. is not so strikingly different
from the extreme fashions of last sea-
son and in fact 1t is a direct and nat
ural development of the trend of
styles in women's dress for the past
four or five years. We began with the
princesse, went on to the Empire, get
and higher as to waist line, all the
time. and now we have the Directoire,
and really If there hadn't been so
much fuss about it a woman might
have worn her 1908 Directoire to a
party in Topeka and not a man pres
ent could have told the difference be-
tween 1t and her 1907 Empire. The
