tation realize far better than do those
more fortunate who go about in their
own carriages or motors when Fashion
orders long skirts shall be worn, and
the long skirt is cut solely with the idea
in view of having the wearer look we'll.
The plan of the silk lining, for be it
understood there are still Innings to the
thln silk and wolfe skirts, if separate
from the gown is often made short enough
to clear the ground. This is essentially
practical, for then it can so easily be
lifted. If not made in this fashion great
care is taken to have the skirt and the
inning caught at intervals with long loops
that VIII hold the two together and yet
not so closely as to make the skirt of the
gown look stiff and tightly fastened-a
most hldeous effect that will spoil the
smartest of models.
SLEEVES OF MANY LENGTHS.
Inc variety in sleeves again challenges
attention. Long sleeves are becoming
and attractive in some gowns and on
some women: short sleeves are extremely
dainty and becoming to some women.
Plain sleeves are smart and becoming to
a well shaped arm. while the trimmed
sleeve is attractive and hides any bem-
ish of wearers or dressmaker's design.
deliberately fashioned gowns certainly
look best with the more elaborate STYLE
of sleeve and the elbow length or shorter
is much more suitable and more com
Portable for summer afternoon wear. The
short seeved shirt waist and coat hay,
fortunately met with universal condemna
ton. and it is proof of what has al
ready been stated that every effort is
now made to have fashions suitable for
the occasion. The elaborate short sleeve
is not suited for practical everyday wear.
but is charming in thin summer frocks
or for the new formal afternoon gown
1t is not an easy task to make the new
sleeves becoming and comfortable after
the long experience of the short. loose
ones. but quite time has elapsed since
the fashion changed and now all dress
makers and seamstresses realize the prob
lem requires the exercise of time and
thought, and consequently failures are
not accepted.

ground, and the colored dot on the white,
are always in demand, and this season
more than ever. One of the fashions that
have been most enthusiastically received
is the foulard waist to wear with the coat
and skirt costume, the ground Of the waist
gown, showing that the material is one OF
those accepted as this summers favorlte
fabrics.
VARIETY OF DETAIL.
Differences of opinion in regard to de-
tails of dress are even more marked than
usual this year. Foulard gowns are made
most simply and with little or no trim
ming save in the yoke. Others are braided

have gowns suitable for different occa-
sions and not to wear too elaborate cos
tune at time when the palmer, simpler
sort of gown is appropriate.
Silk voile and silk cashmere gowns are
most attractive this spring. The mate
rails are so adaptable, the colors so
charming and varied and the models to
copy so dainty that the only difficulty is
to resist acquiring too many. There is
nothing aggressive in these gowns, 70 con
spicuous or eccentric note, but quiet
elegance and finish that would make
them noticeable anywhere.
WAIST LINE STILL HIGH.
The waist line is still placed higher
than is normal, but the gown is cut in
such a manner that if the natural size of
the waist is small, it is made to look
even smaller. and if unduly large through
some clever handling of the lines of the
gown the effect produced is of well
proportional figure rather than of large
thick waist line The majority of skirts
are materially wider around the feet
with curious compromise betweena flare
and the scant loop that last autumn was
so ungraceful, especially in the street
gowns. Long skirts excepting for the
most practical wear are the rule, and the
round skirt is to be noted again; not
in the case of the more elaborate gown,
the train of which is often quite mystic
rious in shape and cut. but medium
length skirt is so much more becoming
that almost every woman chooses it IN
preference. For shopping, travelling and
walking the street skirt will reign SUI
Ipreme, but for afternoons and any formal
occasion the skirt with some length to 1t
will be by far the more popular. The
present style of long skirt appeals to
women in general because it is possible
to hold up gracefully, and those individ-

The double skirt is to be noticed and
again the princess and such graceful
rendering of the model with only bands
of plain color around the hem and in the
trimming on the front of the waist.
White braid. soutache or round braid is
effective on the blue and white designs,
but it is difficult to decide whether the abb
solutcly plain or the trimmed gown looks
the best So much depends upon what
the gown is for and when it is to be worn,
for in these days there is most decided
effort being made by the women who
want to be considered well gowned to

great demand. These are not the gowns
that form part of the three piece costumes
SO widely advertised and rarely if ever
have coat to match. They are entire
gowns, either in one piece effect-in reality
waist and skirt are generally separate
but most closely Joined. so that the effect
is of one piece or made with belt of the
same material. Again does the Directoire,
the Empire and the Princess design exert
influence, for one or other of the three can
always be dscerned. There is so much to
recommend any and all of these models,
especially now when dressmakers are be-
ginning to understand how to copy them,
that it would indeed seem a pity if the
fashion were too hastily tabooed Just
when it was coming within the reach of
the average income. Even the most ar
dent followers of the very latest styles in
clude in their outfits gowns made on these
lines but always modified from the ex-
IRENE.
THE TRUE DIRECTOlRE.
There is most painful and entirely
false idea that is prevalent concerning
the Directoire gown-that the lines of the
skirt must be absolutely straight and that
as little material as can possibly be used
is to be the rule. The style as carried
out to perfection indicated the lines of
the figure. but in order to secure the de-
sired results much more material was
used than appeared. The too scant skirts
looked, and still look, like Wrappers, and
in truth the wrongly made too narrow
Directoire gowns are not fit for anything
but bedroom wear, whereas the fashion
correctly rendered is most charmingly
graceful and appropriate to wear at any
time.
Foulard and voiles are both to be popu-
lar materials this season, while the silk
and soft finished costumes are most ex-
quisite in color and texture. Foulard is
a delightful material for the summer, and
now that dressmakers have at last
learned that heavy Innings are not neces-
sary the foulard gown is every bit as
cool as the linen There are many diff
ferent designs in foulard; checks and ir-
regular designs both are in favor the two
toned grays and fans are most attrac-
tive, while the blue and white and black
and white, always favorites, are this
