the exploitation of Eastern styles Into
tho picture Poiret led the tunic of
tulle that stood out from the hips in
the new line. The whole play was so
beautifully presented that every cos

wired tunic has stood the test OF criti-
cism and usage, and here it is in many
forms on afternoon and evening

Lace is the fabric most easily shaped
on the new lines. The bouncing in
one-half yard width. with either q
straight or scalloped edge, can be
wired and pinched into shape. 1t is
frequently edged with fur. and will
change an old dress In n very short
time into very seasonnble gown.
When II is shaped it need not be kept
the same length all around. but can
be made shorter in front, giving the
new upward curve. The fulness can
be pleated around the hips or cut in
long points and overlapped and fitted
around the hips.

ways You can suit yourself when cut
