CHANGES IN FASHIONABLE UNDERWEAR

lace edge that seldom has q sign Of q
ruffle. They often have a slash to give
the necessary width to step in. Crepe de
Chine is used for these skirts or white
batiste. Colors also are used, the latter
cribbled with lace insertions. Combina-
ton corset cover and pantalons are some
times made of a shadow lace material In
white, pale pink or blue. II also makes
short under-chemises that are only the
depth of the corset. The pantalons are
usually tied in above the knee in bloomer
fashion by a ribbon run through the hem.

Edge, gives the new width across the centre
of the figure and is fastened down the
front by tiny round buttons. All lines
combine, from the long, loose sleeves to
the untitled skirt, to give the new loose
look that gowns are acquiring because Of
the utter lack of seams and cores. The
tiny hat helps to accent this, too, with its
little overhanging lace brim ruffle and
skimpy flower wreath.
In another costume the quaint distended
tunic ruffle is used. Made of the same
material as the costume, a silver gray taf-
feta, it is finely box pleated and shaped:
the lower edge, curving down the back, is
lightly wired to make it stand out from
the skirt. The skirt, of one piece Of ma
terial, is Tapped and draped, fastening at
the top BY six tasselled ornaments and
by tiny buttons below. This skirt falls in
about the feet so that it has almost the
air of trousers. A deep yoke reveals trans
parent white tulle that makes a good back
ground for the necklaces worn. The shape
Of the hat and the pose of the aigrette are,
like the whole costume, reminiscent of the
costume of the Russian ballet.
On lines cufled from gowns of the last
century are some of the other costumes.
For instance, the little white taffeta
casque coat worn with a white nousseline
de sole robe. This casque is charmingly
embroidered with bright colored sprays
A few folds of the skirt are caught up in
front BY beaded cord and tassel. The
black taffeta bag carried with this suit
is the favorite model in Paris at present:
bright flower sprays are embroidered on
it, and it is mounted in heavily chased
silver frame The handle of taffeta is
caught by two silver slides.

IT HE smart fashions Of the moment
cannot be initiated easily. 1t is i'm
possible to copy cheaply and in

the big drsssmakers. Only the little

be worn by every one, and dresses such
as this are quiet and very far removed
from the new creations of this season.
creations which are the result of science,
art and taste.
Every day moire seems to become mora
popular for smart toilettes, and it is
made with big impressions and of an ex-
quisite suppleness. The manufacturers
have made the changeable shot" effects
which give the lustre of taffetas, and
these make delicious summer costumes.
An afternoon cloak viii be indispensa-
bic with some of these filmy toilettes, so
the Partisan dressmakers have designed
q number of varied models to meet this
need. They are all wide and envelop-
ing-easy to slip on and very little in
the way. When they are made Of moire
satin or taffetas they are generally left
unlined unless with a mousseline de sole
in some vivid tint, which is striking and
yet matches some detail or trimming Of
the toilette. Some of the practical coats
of woollen material for carriage wear
are lined with silk which has amusing
and original painted designs IN the mod
ern style. Some even have animal de-
signs, after the style Of Rabier's draw
ings. Could anything well be more fam
tastic?
Another of fashions caprices may be
,een in the exaggeration of the little hat,
which seems to become smaller every day
while the toilettes have the opposite ten
lency to augment their width. Last year,
md especially two years ago, when the
heath skirt was so popular, enormous
lats were worn and the effect gave rise
o tie comparison between women and
Walking sticks or umbrellas. 1t seems,
y the way, that the pendulum of fem
nine fashion swings between two styles
t silhouette, the bell and the umbrella
hape.
This year, however, women seem to
ave diverged from both these standards,
ut 1t seems that we are in a period Of
transition, and some oracles pretend that
re are travelling in the bell direction.
n the meantime one may be glad of the
resent fashion, since it is so graceful
