WILL WELCOME NEW CORsETS|
Very Graceful and Comfortable Are
the Lines That Have the In
dorsement of Paris.

Lower in bust than ever are the
stays, and the sloping shoulders OF
the kimono sleeve and the graceful,
draped fichu are but tendencies which
pointed the way for this new figure.
Some of the newest Partisan cor
sets are but mere girdles above the
waist--quita frequently not reaching
to the bust. The idea is to give one
long line shoulder to waist-a gently
sloping line with the bust as low as
possible.
But not below the waist is the cor
set growing shorter! Far from It!
Longer and still longer grow
mademoiselle's stays-one wonders
how they can be worn with comfort.
But they can, for many of them are
not heavily boned, but beautifully
shaped and SO arranged that the fig
ure may be kept slim and youthful
below the waist line.
Not below the waist line alone,
however is the figure to be youthful
but above it as WELL The high,
lifted waist line, the low bust, the
slim, sloping shoulders-all this is
calculated to keep madame from
showing the ravages of time-to keep
her youthful as possible.
Very comfortable, indeed, are these
new corsets, for if they hold the body
trim and tight below the waist line
they keep 1t supple and free above

TAFFETA WITH BROWN FUR
Effective Combination Of Materials
That There ls Little Doubt
Is to Be Popular.

A brown taffeta dress (by the way,
brown taffeta is certainly going to be
the right wear for the next few
months) is trimmed with brown fur.
The corsage is bloused into a narrow
taffeta belt quite simply, and around
the throat lies a soft cream lace col
larette. The skirt is also bloused
just above the knees, over a broad
band Of fur, which rises little be-
hind, and below it the taffeta is tied
into careless, fiat sort of bow, which
hangs not quite in the middle, behind.
The sleeves are long and have a
touch of creamy lace at the wrists.
With simply dressed hair, sable
toque and big fur coat, could any
thing be more desirable or charm
ing for winter weather than this lit
tie dress, when people heat their
homes so much that thin gowns are
necessary?
