The minaret tunic has invaded tailor

have been more popular in Paris than
in this country so far The hoop is
placed not at the hem which is as mar
row as ever. but at a point between hip
and knee, and serves to distend the
drapery so that il is wider at this
point than at the bottom of the skirt.
OF course these hoops are very light
and do not give the least stiffness to a
costume. but let me say that only ac-
