NEW YORK. July 24.-You are due
TO don q mutton leg skirt this fall
Perhaps you'll feel a trifie sheepish
IN one at first. but the National
Tailors Association have wished it
on you if you would be swagger.
It's really quite a lamb Of a skirt,
cut two inches above the waist in the
back and at the waist line in the
front. Plain, down to two inches be-
low the hips. it is box-pleated from
there on down to two inches below
the knee and thence plain again to
the very finish. Developed in shep-
herds plaid it is just the thing for
the trotteur suit-sheep-trotter as
'twere.
In, a mutton leg skirt, slit to re-
zeal q little calf. with a mole OF
your cheek a rat lion in your hair,
with your neck a little bear, and
your voice q little horse, your are
bound to take some stock in fall
fashions. The leg skirt a la mutton
leg is sure to make a hit with the
butchers bride anyway, but if it
doesn't quite meat with your ap-
proval the National Tailors' Associa-
ton fixed it all up for you with a
lot of other styles at their sixth an
nual convention which just closed
here
There's another distinctive skirt
dubbed the Napoleon, which has a
turn back cuff all around the bottom
iust like the trousers OF a regular
man II is narrower than ever and
Sits well up IN front. Side drapin
has been introduced underneath in
the region of the knees so when a
fragile female desires to sit, she
may sink down gracefully with the
leeway Of this extra expansion, and
at the same time this concealed full
ness keeps the skirt from bagging al
the knees like the trousers Of a re
jected suitor.
Then there are the new pistol
pockets on the tight walking skirts
after going all over the feminine igure
the only spot where e pocket could
be located without the bulge marrins
the symetry OF nature and the tailor;
art was on the hip. Hence the pistol
pockets are the FIRST shots fred ~
the fall fashion campaign. OF course
you don't have to be a gun toter tc
wear EN-. You can pull powder
Puff of a lip stick just as we'll
Made OF gunny cloth, these pisto
pocket suits are very snappy and tn;
Jackets are all appropriately weight
ed with shot.
The short jacket was indeed short
lived. This fall coats are to be from
thirty-six to forty inches long. Th'
Russian blouse and the square cut
away are the prevailing styles anC
the coat sleeves will be either raglan
or kimona Vests with Medici col
lars viii be much worn and they vii
all be double-breasted.
A mixture of three periods ant
three nationalities make up a three
piece suit styled the Imperator. Il
the coat is combined the Italian
Medicl collar. the cutaway effect o
the French First Empire and III,
dropping shoulder OF the present da'
Japan The material is pebble mate
lasse combined with broadcloth in
shade Of dark blue. The skirt is al
angular draped one, cut very wide a
the top and coming to distinct anglei
at the bottom with a tassel at eacl
angle and with the drapings under
meath the angles. The bodice is o
blue chiffon over green and the mill
tary braiding on the coat and skirt Il
done with a plain black braid ant
a fancy braid Of gold and green.
Military trimmings of braid ant
buttons by the way are to be all tn
rage as a lingering influence Of tn
Balkan war Martial effects seem q
lasting on the clothes line as on tn
firing line.
You can 60 as far as you like wit
your fur trimmings this fall, an
buckles, tassels and fringe will fes
toon the fashionably elect like tn
trappings of the circus horse.
Sashes Of silk and velvet will ais
stick around and almost all the suit
