A fashion note from New York as
is the latest alarm in the way
of new styles. The startling predictions
about what women will wear never
seem to come true, at least in this part
of the world, but the wise ones say it is
to be thus:
1.-The Paris dressmakers' most start
ling contribution to nlilady's wardrobe
this year is to be a new skirt, very mar
row, with a slit at the side extending
well above the knee. A trade announce
ment says, that if the directoire stock
ing, made with silken network with
very large meshes, is to be worn with
the dress as it is said, the effect will
be striking"
