by complete surprise, writes Idalia de

not be supposed that this waist line,
as applied to blouses and coates, is
in general use. This is not the case.
But it is quite certain that this new
outline is making itself felt. and

wraps and autumn costumes, general

A few very smart Parisiennes have
been wearing, with great success, long
wasted blouses which closely resem-

Every one. however, will be made
to realize that change has taken
place in the world of dress-a sud
den change which has thrown many
calculations completely out of order.
If you carefully study the latest
fashion plates you will learn some
thing OF the change to which l have
just alluded. In black taffeta cos
tune which is trimmed with bands of
white fox, the waist line is hardly in
dictated at all: but the peculiar
straight up and down" outline, now
so popular, is shown.
Model Is Redfern's.
This is a new and very original
model by Redfern.
Another of the late styles shows
one OF the newest long-waisted coats.
This costume was specially created, in
Paris, for the Duquesa de Arion, a
lovely woman who is attached to the
Spanish court. The material was a
heavy make Of peau de sole. in two
contrasting colors. This is the latest
idea, and it is an admirable one.
Bright colors are often chosen for
these silk costumes, and they are al
most always trimmed with bands of
handsome fur.
The original was made of a rich
quantity of peau de sole in fuchsia-
red and dark powder blue The blue
skirt was softly draped in front, and
it lay in folds over the hips Then
the Russian blouse was made of
fuchsia red silk and bordered with
black fox. Wound around the figure,
well below the normal waist line, was
a wide sash of soft black silk. The
coatee bloused over the sash in a
marked manner. and in front it
opened in a deep V over smart
chemisette of ivory white muslin, in
set with lace and enriched with fine
embroideries in the two colors of the
silks.
All sorts of full colors are com
bined in this way, such as smoke gray
and lizard green, rust red and Egyp-
ttan blue. violet and japonica
When bands of black fox or Of
sable are introduced on these bright
silks the ensemble is exceedingly
harmonious and attractive.
Russian and Persian TUNES.
On many of the new winter models
we find Russian blouse TUNES intro
duced; also the Persian tunic to

than ever this season. 1t Is specially
suitable for the supple cloths and

This will be essentially a fur sea-
