THE Hared skirt and the revival
of the ofd-time basque make
the two important matters for
discussion in the world Of dress today.
To be sure. neither is aggressive as
yet. Both features are held in the
background to come as important
items later on but both have arrived.
nevertheless, and that they will
influence the coming styles is true
beyond question. Skirts have grown
as narrow as we'll could be and latterly
we have developed hip draperies to
the fullest possible extent; conse-
quently, the next change must take
quite a different form. The newest
and latest models show circular
Hounces variously placed, long full
tunics. insets in the seams Of the skirt
and, in some few instances, the basque
that is so reminiscent of an earlier
period.
The last is likely to come slowly.
We have grown so accustomed to the
graceful loose blouse that it is hardly
probable that women will take with
enthusiasm to such a revival but it
is one of the changes chronicled for
the future, nevertheless, and one that
must be taken into account.
The tendency toward greater width
at the edge of the skirt is more well
come one and likely to be met with
enthusiasm and the long tunics or
over-skirts are really very pretty and
becoming and, at the same time, prac-
tical. In fact, there are great many
features of prevailing styles that render
them especially adaptable to economy
of dress. All sorts and all lengths Of
tunics are worn. Over-blouses are
almost a rage and, since both are made
of material differing from the founda-
ton one, they serve admirably for
remodelling. The long straight tunics
are gathered and plated and treated
in various ways and they are as often
of material differing from the skirt
as of the same. Altogether Dame
Fashion has been a kind friend and.
when one remembers how many oppor-
tunities are offered in the infinite
variety Of fabrics. that truth becomes
doubly apparent. n
We are wearing the most wonderful
little capes and cape wraps, too. and
there is no garment ever created easier
to make or prettier than the cape
while some of the little cape wraps
are the most coquettish. fascinating
little creations possible. For warm

plain oolors. The gown that is made
Of moire taffeta Is trimmed with the
same silk in changeable effect and
combines q skirt drsped in hustle
effect with an exceedingly pretty and
becoming blouse. The skirt. by the
way. is made Of one big piece Of
material. the hustle being formed by
judicious handling Of plaits and gath
ers. For the later season and real
warm wether. the model would be
pretty copied in very light weight
summer taffeta showing stripes Of
black and white and with plain white
taffeta for the vest and collar.

Latest Notes from the Fashion Centers

We are never content, never let things
stay aS they are. The narrow skirt
has only Just been developed to its
best. As matter of fact, the circular
founce at the lower edge is only de-
sirable when the skirt is trained. When
it must support its own weight. it is
apt to sag and to pull out of shape.
If the great couturieres urge it nupo
US. no doubt We will accept it but,
while that is true. it is well to look
upon it a little askance and to cling
to the good things while We have ,
them.

Roman stripes are not alone in the
height Of style. they are very beautiful.
for they are to be found in a great
variety of colors. The suit that shows
them used for the blouse and under

gabardine in fashionable shade of
brown and the stripes repeat the
brown as the dominant color.

feature.
In one costume, a pulled tunic is
combined with a waistcoat blouse and
both the puffs and the waistcoat are
especially worthy of note for they
make two Of the best and newest
features. In the illustration, the
gown is made of plain and Howered
silks but it is the combination Of
fancy and plain materials rather than
the fabric that makes the smartness

but the blouse suit this season has
taken on a new form and there are
occasions for which the little jacket

used this season, both plain and crepe
finished. and. for very hot days, suits
are made of linen. ehambray. percale

Fashion Notes

A N extremely attractive dancing
n gown of soft Silks made with
a narrow skirt overiapped at
the front and half length flaring
tunic but is finished at the lower
edge with a soft plated frill
Of chiffon ir matching color. A
great many taffeta skirts are made'
with soft little ruches at their lower
edges and, in almost everyway, there
is evidence of the coming fullness.
That to some extent it will take the
form of the circular founce is probably
true but it will also show other varia-
tions and the ruches and trimmings,
sound an important note. Little ruff
fes are seen arranged over narrow
skirts. lace Aounces ard lace ruffles
are being put to almost every possible
use and. in every way, there is evidence

nATHING costumes give evidence
Il Of the general trend Of the
seasons fashions, and are really
most attractive creations. Verify and
indeed is the time past and gone when
the costume for the dip into the sea
or for the sun bath on the beach was
something to be hidden from sight.
To-day it is just as graceful and pretty
and becoming as the gown designed
for the popular dance. It may be
made from silk or from satin especially
made for the purpose and warranted
to remain uninjured by any amount Of
use, or it may be made of mohair Of
good quality and special advantage.
and it may be trimmed with white or
with color. made quite simply or really
elaborate, as each owner selects for
herself. Everything is pretty about
the bathing costumes this year. Caps
are coquettish and piquant and shoes
are shapely and well-htting. many Of
them bound around the ankles in the
sandal style that is both practical and
attractive.
The designs shown on this page are
among the best. There is one for the
