m excuse for a sleeve, were as daring as
the simulated decolletes of to-day.
The launching of a new mode, however,
does not mean that all other fashions are
excluded. Russian and Oriental styles
will be seen in plenty this winter, worn
by those to whom they are speciaEy be-
coming. Meanwhile, it is the duty OF
fashion reporter to announce new fashion
lines as they appear. A French actress
noted for her gowning, has had her latest
costumes made on the lines of the seven
ties. launching this style. As she Is oil the
same type as the heroines that were SO
often painted by the Belgian artist
Alfred Stevens, who caught the love-
lipess of women of that generation,
they seem especially suited to her. The
black velvet evening gown is striking be-
cause of its sleevelessness and its un-
adorned de-ollete. There is another odd
feature about 1.-THE belt is placed as it
was when the old fashioned corsets were
worn. below the inward curve of the waist.

Fashion Details from the Horse
Show.

TT HE vogue of light topped shoes was
one of the most noticeable fashion
features of the New York Horse Show.
Not only were the high shoes light topped,
but the smartest footwear had light col
ored heels also. To all intents and pur-
poses only the vamp of the sh9e was of
black patent or dull leather.
Some of these uppers were made Of
light fawn, brown or gray cloth; some of
suede of the same eolors One peculiarly
of these shoes and one which threw them
into prominence was the fact that the
afternoon tailored suits were so short
that most Of the light uppers showed al

This and the cut of the waist give it the old
fashioned look of the dresses of the seven
ties and early eighties. The black velvet
bracelet, the manner of dressing the hair
and the tilt of the hat have not little to
do with the resemblance in silhouette with
the fashions of those days. The black tulle
is a scarf, separate from the dress, to take
off the too severe look. The roses and
maidenhair fern are curiously posed almost
in the centre front Of the waist.
There is a band of skunk fur at the
foot of the gown. The hat. which. like
all the new ones, has a brim that is the
most conspicuous part of it, has the
unique curves that are the mark of ultra
millinery.

women.
The Washington herald., 1913-12-07


But now come some new style
lines. These are gently remi-
niscent of the fashions Of the
seventies. Among them are the sleeve
less evening dresses, the flounced elbow
sleeves, the sash bow placed low at the
back of the dress and the masculine vest
that shows between the open front of the
corsage. Also, We see the wired neck
ruches of lace of those days, the coats
buttoned up to the neck, the pannier
drapings and the hustle back puffs.
Not only confined to dress is this re-
vival of old fashioned styles The latest
hair coiffure is like those of days agone
and presents almost the same silhouette.
The tresses are closely waved about the
face, the hair brought up to form a puff
at the top back of the head. To be sure,
the curls that dropped at the back of
some of these old time coiffures are yet
missing in the smart hairdressing of to-
day.
Premet showed this season among his
tailored suits a short coat that had the
old fashioned curved side seams and cen
tire back seam; the coat edges basque was
almost godet about the lower.
The old style tiptilted hats are perhaps
much modernized, but that does not pre-
vent them from being on the same lines
as some that decorate the primly pretty
fashion engravings of the old fashion
books.
In those days, too, they wore dolman
wraps and short little mantelettes that
are surely grandmothers of those in style
to-day. OF course, there was not that
frightened in look about the ankles in
dresses then, but trains were oblong and
oval ended, as now. Velvet bracelets and
neck ribbons were the fashion in the sew
enties. Flower trimmed ball dresses, cut
dangerously low, with a ruffle serving as

and were combined with fine fernery and
maidenhair.
The vogue of duvetyn and velvet after
noon suits was very marked. Most of
them were cut with the TERED skirts and
the loose cutaway coat that buttoned
tightly up to the neck. A band of fur on
the military collar and a hand making
cuffs on the long sleeves was the correct
trimming, and fitch was the preferred fur
for this.
