Long and Graceful
Are the New Skirts

All skirts are now extremely long
and in most cases exceedingly grace
full in outline, but whereas before this
a wide flare about the feet has been
sought after in even the most supple
and slinky materials, now all ruffies
and founces are done away with, even
the stiff taffeta founces on the upper
petticoat being abolished. In front the
hem must lie on the ground just
enough to make it possible to walk
without stepping on the material,
while on the sides some inches have
been added to the accepted length OF
last year, and in the back, too, the
train is a decided feature of the skirt.
Naturally, when all must be done to
give height and slenderness to the
figure, folds, tucks, p1aits, ruffles and
flounces disappear as though they had
never been in existence. This does
not mean, however, that all trimming
is thing of the past, for the elaborate
hand embroidery was never more
beautiful than that on many of the
newest evening models. Wide bands
of solid embroidery with gold, silver
and steel spangles and pale cnlored
iridescent pailettes introduced II the
pattern by being placed about the
very border Of the skirt help to keep
the material well down and cliAging
without any ugly slinkiness, and .terve
to accentuate all long and slender
lines. This embroidery may also DE
carried up on the skirt in long points,
or on net gown lines of rhinestones
OF pailettes may be carried down the
skirt from the belt to merge into the
wide embroidered band at the enc.

Pastel Blue and Mustard.

Pastel blue and all the other shades
down the gamut to very dull tones OF
delft are extensively used for the long
or three-quarter coats that do duty on
many occasions. Some of these in
Copenhagen or royal blue are made UP
so that they can be used either for
Gay or evening wear, for the the thea,
ter and concerts. One of Copenhagen
blue, made after full kimono model,
had trimmings of black satin with
touches of dull olive green in the col.
lar and sleeves finishes, and with an
effective use of those FURNISHED gold
buttons that are a feature of the sea,
sons styles.

LONG MousquetaIre Sleeve.

The long mousquetaire sleeve OF
wrinkled lace or chiffon, that outlines
the arm closely from the sleeve cap
to well over the hand, Is smartly In
dorsed on both sides of the sea- This
is a particularly good choice for
women whose arms took best when
their outlines are softened by gauzy
Surroundings, while the unbroken line
from shoulder to waist tends to make
the arm appear longer and more slen
der than does the usual sleeve ~

MiroIr velvets.

Black miroir velvets and similar
fabrics are made UP in imitation Of

gowns. Let it be understood, how.
ever, that furs are not in high favor;
they are more fashionable and more
luxurious than ever, but, as has been
said, this is season of unusual novel.

fine materials seems to catch the

After a vision of gold roses one can

their leaves could not be treated to
cost of gold dust and then used for
trimming evening frocks or for hair

the doomed craft and the waves them
selves--a tribute OF peace from the
living and wreaths for the dying
gladiators OF war.
Hand In hand Norma and Guy stood
upon the headland beneath the gray
beacon lights that would welcome
strange travellers from foreign ports
no more. Into the darkening skies of
the east the fleets OF the nations were
speeding 20 dissolution and death.
The long. steady swell OF the free and
unburdened sea came monotonously
hammering at their feet. In silence
they watched the relics OF cruel war
sail out. saw their hulls disappear.
saw the trails OF smoke diverge az
each squadron sought It's own course.
and then looked into each others
eyes, reading therein nothing but a
promise OF love and serenity. Their
troubles had vanished as had those
fleets OF the sea. and life with all It's
possibilities OF accomplishment and
contentment was before them. They
turned from the great silent ocean
and walked into the golden radiance Of
the sunset toward their home.
