Lines of Costumes, That Are Regular

Of America.

There are all kinds Of rumors as
to the new silhouette which one or
two OF the leading houses on the
other side Of the ocean are said to
be starting. The tight line round the
hips and knees OF coats is yielding to
straight fullness. Some coats gather
at the Waistline and so descend to the
knees, where they often form a point
at the back. The straight line of the
Russian blouse is ousting the shaped
revers. All this we owe to the Rus
sian dancers, but it remains to be
proved whether they will suit Amer.

These coats are carried out in satin,
crepe satin and crepe de chine, not in
heavy stuffs. The biouses have deep
pink sashes from waist to bust. Into
this crossing folds of tulle disappear

FOR THE coRsAGE

Lead the Seasons Fashions.

II you'd be quite in the mode this
winter you'll have an assortment OF
the new big velvet flowers that, un-

The vogue FOR somber tones makes
a carefully chosen corsage bouquet q

be in good taste, the blossom must
always be In season.
Just now it's correct to wear q
couple of taWny velvet chrysanthe-
NUNS, or 8 bouquet of mountain ash
berries. Soon vioiets will form the
corsage bouquet. scented SO naturally
that one who isn't very sharp will
take them for the really-truly kind.
The idea OF matching the flowers
used to catch the stole with those in
troduced on the hat is also used. but
In this case the corsage bouquet
frankly declares itself artificial. A
water lily in black velvet, with white
satin lining and q CLEAN Of gold in
the heart of the blossom, is one OF
the favorite devices in this connec-
ton, while for evening wear the same
flower is well to the fore, being used
to catch up the soft glistening folds
OF the satin or velvet robe, while it
usually masquerades in metal tissue
trimmed with diamonds, as though a
showeraof dewdrops had been shaken
lightly over the flowers
A clump of two or three full blown
water lilies, with q shower OF close
shut pendant buds dropping from
them, makes lovely decoration for
an evening toilet which relies more or
less for its effects upon its lines.
