There Is close kinship between the
up-to-date modes Of the moment and So
called fancy dress Of other times that
minimixes the effort Of originating q
fancy ball costume. The spirit OF the
eighteenth century has been lowering
around us for some time past and will no
doubt continue to do 50 when tho exag-
gerations and idiosyncrasies of directoire
dress have passed away. Most Of us who
choose costumes for fancy dress dinners
and dances wish to study economy. al
though we want to look our best. Few
will be Of little use once the time and
the place have had their little day. This
being the state OF affairs, for really hard
dancing where a good time Is the object
dressed for the occasion I would suggest
that some of the quaint costumes Of the
eighteenth century be selected.
Always charming Is the outdoor dress OF
this period. with the plain cutaway coat,
long clinging skirt and well poised hat
lace rufles and cane. And no one ever
tires Of the exquisite representations Of
the old pictures. the dainty Romney and
Gainsborough ladies and the dienified
court beauties. The celebrated Duchess
of Devonshire. with her white dress. blue
silk petticoat and sash and large black
hat. is we'll known. The many render
ings Of the Gainsborough pictures are
really more beautiful and becoming than
the exaggerations Of the directoire cos
tunes. for. quaint as they are. they do
not appeal to us. for they lack the great
simplicity Of outline associated with the
Romney and Gainsborough beauties.
The Vatican costume is thought the
smart thing for debutantes and young
society matrons to assume. A fascinating
girl know has just copied a figure from
q canvas of this famous French painter
for her fancy dress costume. A striped
silk in pastel tints is used for the plain
ankle-length skirt. and the bodice with
pannier effect Is of lowered silk. The
bouffant hip draperies are caught up with
long bows and ends Of velvet ribbon in .

entire conversations where she hadn't the

about. This was for the lack Of asking
one intelligent question. There was a
certain dancing school assembly of which
my mother and this woman were patron
esses. AS they entered the room they saw

The girl who Is in doubt should buy

Take the present mode Of hipless coats,
for instance. They did not come in gen.

bought suits or who had them made
earlier are now fitted In models on their

alter.
It seems to me that it is the people
with the least money who waste 1t the
most. For instance, I know girl who
last fall bought eight tailor made waists
because they were marked down, and she
hasn't been able to wear them at all

been the thing and neck ruches a necessi-

The bal de fete Is a popular function
this winter. and some Of the coiffures seen
are fearful and wonderful affairs.
But. to talk Of dress for ordinary oc-
casions have been wondering how We
are going to like the new semi tight
princess robes. those simple-looking yet
complicated rocks that mold the figure
without fitting it closely. It matters little
whether we like these gowns or not-the
decree has gone forth that we are to wear
them in the spring and through the sum-
mer at least. When these princess robes
are designed and executed by master
hands their success is assured. but by
reason OF their simplicity OF outline they

path Of the many. This particular style
Of dress Is especially becoming to the
Parisienne. She better than almost any
other woman knows exactly how 1t should

Sometimes these robes are sleeveless and
worn over guimpe and sleeves. The most
important point about the dress in Ques-
tion is the fact that. although the robe Is
shaped closely to the figure. 1t Is by no
means tight. In fact, 1t seems to be just
two sizes too large. This does not pre-
vent the gown from molding the figure.
but 1t gives very fascinating air Of
easy and careless grace. With these prin-
cess gowns 1t IL absolutely necessary to
wear one Of the new corsets which con-
fine the figure without giving the least
appearance of a small waist. The fash

shapely and natural looking. and 1t is de-
voutly to be hoped that it will remain in
fashion for many months. II not years, to
come.
