F., line. it resolved itself into double puff,
| almost hustle. This is the nearest APP
/ proach to tie regulation thing that any
| one has dared to wear. The jacket of
| this suit is unusually short, which does
not mean that only short coats are worn.
| for the long ones have as many followers.
| but it Is fantasy of the day. 1t IS
often curved quite well up in the back.
and the entire hem is followed by band
of fur.
This gives the figure an odd uptilted eff
| feet. which is evidently the height of
| fashion among those who dress according
! to the newest and the latest decree, but
| there are few women, after all. who can
wear these uptilted clothes It is fol-
| lowing the lines laid down by the hustle
| several decades ago. and it is really more
| serious in its significance than the little
prominence below the waist that goes by
! the name of hustle. for the whole reason
of the hustle in other days was to fling
the clothes from the floor at the hem, at
| the back, and if this upward movement is
being exploited with success, then what
must we expect?
Will this movement increase? is the
question asked by those who are deeply,
and with reason. interested in dress.
If there is new silhouette in the
spring. will this be it? The drapery at
the hips commenced in the same way.
Cheruit began it. and when she wore the
first gown of this kind herself everyb body
said it improba bic that women would
take up the pannier They argued that
the hobble skirt was established, that
women liked it, they had learned to walk
in it, and it was the height of folly to
think that they would give up for a full
skirt and they did not: they merely an
nexed the pannier tunic to the tight
skirt they were wearing, and sailed forth
gayly in a combination we have all
learned to like very well. Such is the in
cleverness of the wearer, no one knows
which.
But that is far away from the fashion
for wearing fur on every garment where
it is possible to put it. The verdict is
that must trim coats and skirts and
hats with it. even if it is left off the other
/ garments. This fashion may come as an
economical suggestion at this time.
Many have odds and ends of good
peltry or they may be willing to buy
| few yards of good imitation fur that will
furnish their suit so that it will pass
muster for the rest of the season.
/ Imitation skunk is excellent and even
| the best dressmakers do not hesitate to
use it admirable gowns. High collars
of it are actually more fashionable than
/ wide neckpieces, although the majority
| OF WOMEN Will CHOOSG the ldlleT Wueu-
! ever they have the money to do it,
! AS far back as last August We wore
| fur on our tunics. At the races in Paris
| the women wore fur bands on chiffon
| gowns, but the idea was not adopted in
/ America, where we have a better knowl-
| edge of what to wear in hot weather.
| And even then the fashion for trim
| ming skirts of heavy cloth and velvet
! with wide bands of fur did not come
| into popularity here until the winter was
f.r he
| this was that there was no sign of cold
| weather until Christmas time.
! The majority of evening gowns now
display fur. The admixture of peltry and
/ tulle is attractive. although the two ma
| terials were never intended for each
! other in the beginning.
! Paris has sent out an opera gown in
| that new shade of blue tulle that is so
unusually becoming to Ithe majority. 1t
has its TUNES edged with brown fur and
/ there is bit Of it at the neck.
