A pIuna-colored afternoon frock, seen at

were dropped by means of a curving out

than the back and front portions. This
pleated drapery ives edged with taneta

the frock and silk of the same color

significant evidence of a new era in
dress is the shorter skirt, which is now
seen on quite dressy toilettes for after

rectoire skirt is a thing OF the past, lor

powers that be. The pendulum inaeea'

times, touching on Egyptian modes, land
ing squarely in the sixth century and leap
ing jauntily over to the eighteenth. This
year modes promise to be a happy combi-
nation of all.
The features which stand forth, how
ever. with paramount importance amid
this -podge of sartorial effects are
the overskirt, the separate bodice, the
high-crown hat. the extravagantly long
waistline and the pannier. These features
epitomize the Paris style news for fall
and winter. The return of the overskirt
should be welcomed by everybody-by the
enterprising manufacturer of textiles be-
cause of the limitless possibilities Of extra
material it's development promises by the
modistes because drapery Is always the
Waterloo of the home dressmaker and by
womankind in general because overskirts
are always becoming. deft hand can
arrange folds cunningly to disguise figure
defects and reveal lovely lines. and for
some reason or other the overskirt almost
always gives a jaunty, youthful effect to
a skirt in walking length, even though
draperies do add dignity to trailing

skirt hem and the coats of two-piece
suits falling 10 within eight inches of
the bottom OF the skirt. Rough mate
rails seem to be favored for the smart
separate 'topcoats" which will be used
for both motoring and street wear, and
these long coats are cut by the French
tailors in all sorts of queer ways, cross
sections being fitted into each other to
