NEW YORK, August l4.-Reports from Paris indicate that there is growing tendency toward increasing fitness of skirt and sleeves noticeable in the latest creations of the famous Paris designers. This is interesting news to the American women of lash ion. Of course, it remains to be seen how far this lately developed tendency | will %. The flowing movement of sheer supple stuffs over clinging foun- dations which characterize many Of the midsummer models is very different thing from fullness and drapery inheav- fer materials. In the mean time the skirt yoke and cuirass have offered compromise eagerly accepted and host of models along these lines have been launched.
 Some of these models arc, bizarre and trying and particularly unbecomng to women of too vouptuous develop ment A fat woman in princess trot- ting frock of cuirass effect clinging tightly around the hips and perhaps half way to the knees where it meets a hounce or plating, IS d sight to make cat laugh, and yet they will wear such frocks.
 That is so much more inexcusable as theress such variety in the season s modes that something becoming to any figure is within the possibilities.
 The corsage may be slightly full in stead of flatly clinging where fullness is more becoming. The corsage and skirt have come back, to the consola' ton of those for whom the popular Moyen Age princess lines are altogether too trying. The new skirts present so many arrangements of fullness that ev- cry figure may be suited. All that IS needed is good taste and a knowledge of one s own limitations.
 Tunic arrangements, often but little deeper than the long cuirass, are some times developed in contrasting lace or embroidered net or some other supple material For example, a charming frock of rose silk monsseline had a full soft skirt of the mousselne and , draped bodice of surplice fichu effect of the same material Over this rose
 frock was draped little tunic formed
 from shawl of fine black Chantilly - one point running up over the bodice
 front in bib fashion, another point fall
 ing over the skirt front. but reaching
 not much more than half way to tho
 knees.
 Speaking of draperies, one of the m ' novations that achieved success ia th' i, late season at Paris was plcturesqu' d draped manteau in soft material, whlel S WIS brought up on the left shoulder il
 the bck, fastened there and left t II fall free, much after the traditiona
 fashion of the page's cloak.
 ', Foulards are still much liked for tn II utility frock and the newest model m all show much fullness in the skirts, tn 'ye long skirts often being frilled al d around the waist band or draped, whll st the trotting frocks of foulard are chiei
 ly of the yoke skirt variety. The skin
 yoke may run in up over the bodic in some one of the pretty princess e1 h' fleets which are so popular, but man
 of the best models have bodice sligh e ly full and held in by a girdle, whll =, the smooth fitting yoke of the skirt ha n very deep hounce or plating polnin h, it well below the hips.
 ,a It may be true that the finger ,s blouse is not as popular this year
 in former seasons owing to the vogr IF of the princess styles, but judging fro
 the large number of well dressed w
 men who wear such blouses on suitab ot occasions, the reported decline of tn re- garment s popularity is rather probl
 nautical The lingerie blouse is t
 comfortable and practical to lose
 hold on feminine favor altogether. Ea season the designers develop new blou }" ideas, although after all these seaso
 the thing would seem impossible. . This year the novelties have, to I, large extent, taken the form of the
 troduction of color into smart blouse It is true this innovation presents sor rather difficult problems to the lau ,tS dress, but it cannot be denied tn
 charming effects are produced by the IA touches of color. The blouse mater
 may be of white and color, fine strip
