ACCORDION PLEATs
TO BE REVIVED

A fashion destined for a revival which
win require little or no pushing to the
front-rather, indeed. shall we rush to
meet tits the accordion killed skirt.
The killing employed Is not sunray. but
the straight accordion, and the soft ma
terials employed for the purpose allow
the pleats to cling to the limbs from
the ground to the height of the knees.
In this way the approved slim appear
ance is secured, albeit there is quite an
appreciable amount OF material about the
waist, while the accompanying corsage
displays some portions OF the accordion,
usually lightened by a tulle or chiffon
guimpe and sleeves, and, for choice, q
long sleeve.
The long sleeve has assuredly come
once again and conquered. We are even
to have II In alliance with our evening
bodies, fashioned Of the very finest tulle
illusions. And transparent sleeves of
every description are to be seen with
taffeta, charmeuse, and such gowns. In
the case Of the evening corsages, we are
carried back to the Renaissance period,
which is as II should be. with the rare
choice that obtains at present in rich
brocades. How rich a black velvet dress
looks with sleeves and corsage draperies
of white tullel And, looking back, IL
seems an Incredible period since we were
permitted to exploit that alliance.

The first word from Palm Beach, where
the newer spring fashions always make
their debut, was to the effect that al
most everything seen was in some tone
Of white, ranging from the duh, dead
shade to a deep ivory that almost bor-
dered upon the paler tints of ecru.
But this seems only natural, however,
since nothing is more appropriate, moth

weather, than the sheer batiste lawns,
and wash silks.
Yes, one expects to see a great deal OF
the thinner white frocks. but il these
encompassed the entire output Of white
garments they would have received but
a passing mention.
What has really marked this as a white
year is the surprising number of white
serge, ratine, foulard. and satin frocks
and suits designed for street wear and
for informal festivities which in former
years would have called for a rather
simple frock Of some dark colored mate

color.
