Setting.
NEW SILHOUETTE IS THE
FEATURE OF GREAT DISPLAY
-2-Like Waist Effect Is
Probably Coming Into Its
Own Again.
by ADELrNE cARRIoK WELLS.

In futuristic setting in black
and white, with pillars showing
snowy canoes against jetty back
grounds, the floor a mass of black
and white squares and the chande-
lers all jingling, cleaning crystal, is
this seasons fashion display at l..
Bamberger & Co.'S being presented.
Attracting more attention than the
gorgeous gowns with their fascina-
ting, shimmering fabrics: the new
hats, the furs, the suits, the evening
coats, is the new silhouette. There's
n waistlinel Indistinct, but there.
Evening gowns show transparent ma
terials hanging in straight beautiful
lines over silk or velvet corsages,
which are fitted. Suits show a de-
cided incurve at the waist, and many
of the long coats fit closely, with o.
wide bell flare below the hips.
The creators of fashion are prepar-
ing us, without a doubt, for re-
turn to the wasp waist, wide hip
effects, which did so much few
years ago to make the physicians
wax prosperous We know that tiny
waists are not good for us, but if
the bell-sheep fashion leaders affect
them, We'll be sure to follow, like
the good little fashion "lambs" that
we all are.
Dancing frocks are Shorthand some
are shorter. They are Joys to look at.
0verdresses of silver, fine gold beads,
crystal spangles, jet sequins and iri-
descent effects are draped in a rather
casual fashion over soft liberty silks,
chiffons and a new velvet, which is as
soft and pliable as satin. With nearly
a l..
{ are worn flesh-colored stockings and
/ slippers of emerald green, which pro-
vide a brilliant note of color.
During yesterdays promenade sew
eral young women appeared at once
with their feet thus appareled, Great
ing a sensation among the hundreds
Of eagerly watching women-and men.
Tor the young girl the preferred
evening gown has a skirt which is one
continuous spiral ruffie, about five
inches wide The effect is very lovely
Certainly the new frocks are ideal for
dancing. Their width around the bot
tom gives complete freedom to the
feet.
In the afternoon dress the predomi-
nant feature is the basque. This is by
no means the basque that appeared a
couple of months ago. 1t is draped
more gracefully and does not always
button down the centre front. Sash
effects at the hip are well liked. Soft,
piiable panne velvet is a favorite ma
terial for basques and trimmings.
Skirts are of soft broadcloth.
Speaking of broadcloth--it is more
in favor than ever for suits and aft
crnoon frocks. The long-tailed coat
is very much to the fore just now, but
there is a whisper that will not be
xauelched 20 the effect that short,
tight, fur trimmed coats will be seen
with the advent of winter.
Evening wraps, whether of velvet,
cloth or fur, are developed mostly in
cape effects. Brilliant silk Innings are
used and fur continues to be fa-
vorite trimming. Fur is also used on
evening gowns and millinery. Mar
row bands of monkey are very much
in vogue.
The newest fur coats are rather
narrow at the shoulders with wide
he'll flares at the bottom, which comes
Just below the knee Caracul, broad
tail, blue fox and Hudson seal are
popular. In fur sets ermine, chin
chilla. fox, Russian sable and skunk
are leaders. 1t is said that the war
affects the fur trade only as far as
The cheap furs are concerned. 1t will
have no effect on the present market,
