FADS AND FASHIONS

The fashion in the plain and mex
pensive one-piece frocks for practical
use has changed but little since last
season. Designers have seemingly
feared to experiment with drapery at
all and left us the familiar straight
frocks buttoned up the front, loosely
girdled at the waist. This winter the
sleeves are long where last winter
they were, in most cases, short. This
winter there is little more skirt
fulness eased into the waistband, but
on the whole there is but little radical
change.
In some cases clever collar details
give note of novelty. In other
there is an original sleeve and, here
and there, one finds skirt that,
while simple enough for the sort of
frock under consideration. is -defin,i..-
