OF course. it is not to be expected that
such extreme styles as these will be In
stantly adopted by the patrons OF store.
Therefore, other models were present,
wearing more conservative costumes.
However. and this IL the important thing.
even the conservative gowns show the
influence of these extreme styles. Skirts
are very wide at the hips, full at the
knees and come in close at the ankles.
They may not be divided so as to form
trousers. but they are draped SO as to
give the tr,user effect So 1t is with the
wired tunic and the tulie polonaise.
Those hardy revoiutdonists who are
combating the influence Of Paris and In
sisting upon American fashions for Ameri-
can women find their strongest argu-
ments In the absurd extremes to which
the Partisan modistes attempt to lead
American women. 1t Is Well known that
great many OF these so-called new
styles are created In Paris, but not for
the Parisians. They are designed espe-
cially for export to the land Of the free
and the home Of the brave
1t is true such costumes are worn in
Paris, but not by the kind Of women who
are asked to adopt them here. They are
worn either by professional models, who
are a part of the great Parisian style In
dustry. or. when worn by any one else,
are designed to attract attention by wom-
en- who have more money than morals
But despite these facts. and despite
the growing strength of the American
fashion movement, the great Parisian de-
signers still rack their brains for new
and startling effects, that they may coax
moro and yet more gold from American
purses.
1t is not to any desire for the improve
ment OF women's dress. either from al
artistic or unitarian standpoint. that
we are indebted for the threatened re-
viyal Of the hoop skirt and the hustle. II
is, rather, to the shrewd. money making
genius OF few men in Paris, who under

DEMAND FOR "LANDSMAAL"

Commission Named to Consider Ad-

Language oficially.


foreign Correspondence OF The Star
CHRISTLANIA, October ., 1918.
A government commission composed Of
representatives OF literature. the univer-

adyisability of adopting officially the
new language invented by Ivar Aasen.

brated two months age In a free land nj

the old saga-speech. selected from them
all those words and grammatical forms
which seemed most suitable for his pur-
pose. welded them into a harmonious
language and, after making a grammar
and dictionary, used the new idiom in
many books recently republished as a
monument to his memory.

and about half a century after his work
began. not only does the whole country

speech is called, 20 distinguish IL from

beauty and cnrivaled for use In poetry.
but an eyer-increasing number of people
also demand that it should be the state
speech.
Causes of Popularity.

The popularity OF the "Landsmaal' IS
due not only to its admitted beauty, fex-
Utility and expressiveness, but TO other
causes. The Morse. in which wergeland,
Bjornson and Ibsen wrote, is described by
the champions of the new idiom as pro

legged that through the towns the Danish
influence of the bureaucracy imposed ON
the country an alien speech having no
continuity with the old Morse, which went
on developing in the rural districts.

Beautiful Young Models
Enter Upon the Scene.

of the auditorium. Descending the steps
they passed slowly along the broad
promenade keeping step to oriental music
furnished by an orchestra. Through an
archway they passed into scene repre-
senting the interior OF an oriental ten,-
ple. The broad walk was bordered on
either side with rows of large, round
globes which covered the electric lights.
They then passed into a Persian garden,
the setting taken from the third act of
lie Minaret.''
First of all was a costume called "the
Zaida," having the zouave skirt OF black
satin, draped in Turkish fashion, with
the skirt caught in the middle at the bot
TOM so as to form an adaptation OF Turk
ish trousers. With these black satin
trousers was worn a short velvet coat OF
sapphire blue.
Then came the minaret costumes. The
first was triple accordion-pleated nounce
skirt Of cerise chiffon, each skirt wired
with hoops and trimmed with gold fringe,
standing we'll out from the body. Above
each hounce a band Of gold braid en-
circled the skirt. The model wore no
corsets and her legs from the knees
downward were discernable through the
filny draperies. She wore red silk stock
ings and black Turkish shoes, with curled
and pointed ends. incrusted with silver.
The bodice, reaching just above the bust.
was held up by shoulder straps OF gold
braid. Over one shoulder was thrown a
black lace scarf. Upon her head she wore
a picturesque head dress Of black velvet
in helmet shape, with a spiral mount OF
gold ttnsel, and on each side hung huge
baroque pearls.

VOnEN'S WEAR.
W.-What Next?
By Frederic J. Haskin.

What next? The ninaret gown. with
its wired tunic, portends the renascence
of the hoop skirt; the tango gown prophe-
sizes the possibility OF trousers, and now
comes the hustle! To go into particulars:
In recent years the feature Of the sea-
sonal openings" in the great retail stores
of the large cities has been gorgeous
professional OF beautiful young women
wearing the very latest and the very
newest costumes. These professions pri-
mariIy are designed for their advertising
valne. They are seen by as many people
as can crowd into the store, and frequent
" are repeated every afternoon for a
week.
Among the spectators always are rep
resentatiyes OF the trade journals, VINO
write detailed descriptions that VIII DE
spread before all of the people interested
in the garment industry, wholesalers ana
retailers alike. This IL an important Tea
ture of the trade publicity which spreads
the fashions SO rapidly over the United
States.
One OF the most notable Of this season
displays was staged In a New York store.
1t was considered OF such Importance that
a daily trade Journal made II the pFan.
cipal feature Of two issues. Perhaps not
the least interesting feature OF this par
ticular promenade was the temperance
of the hustle.

Pantaloons Finished
With Silver Fringe

aret tunic Of white satin trimmed with
black velvet roses. The tunic boosted Of
hoop and stood we'll out from the body:
The extremely low bodice. innocent of
sleeves. was decorated with ropes Of huge
silver beads. THIS model also wore Turk
ish shoes.
The next model was a reincarnation OF
princess Of Bagdad. She wore a white
satin skirt. ending In 4 pointed train al
the back. and slashed high in the center
front. Below her quaint, old-fashioned,
short waisted bodice Of black velvet was
arranged series OF FIVE accordion ieat-
ed white crepe nounces, forming the
tunic, each decorated In the center front
with long black Jet tassel. The waist
line was defined by q zone OF rhinestones.
Not to be outdone by Pofret, who re-
vamped tho hoopskirt, another Partisan
modfste, Premet, has brought back the
hustle. In this promenade the most con-
spicuous feature Of the afternoon gown
was the new hustle effect. Actually no
hustle was worn, but the tunic was SO
draped and gathered in the back as to
give the effect Of the hustle. It is in
fact. the old polonalse come back, and,
as was the case some forty years ago,
the polonaise is not success unless 1t lie
reinforced and made to stand out by the
hustle.
