A CHANGE FOR THE BETTER
IN WOMEN'S FALL DRESS

In the September Woman's Home
Companion, which is a fashion fore
cast number, Grace Margaret Gould,
the we'll known fashion editor, pre-
sents a great array of news and sug-
gestions. which she introduces with
the following general comment on
the new fall fashions:
Good friends, a change for the bet
ter has taken place in the fashions!
The American woman this fall
will be permitted to wear clothes
that fit her figure, and take real steps
like a sensible human being, as she
has honestly in her heart lOnged to
do, appearances to the contrary not
withstanding.
Let me tell you just exactly what
has happened!
The spineless woman has become
a stately creature. That tired feel
ing has retired, and loose and care
less has made way for 1.-THE and care
full.
The SLOUGH has retreated, as it is
the very nature of a SLOUGH to re-
treat, while the new style, trim and
erect. has marched in to victory.
w Ou6u dI " la Z OeAShDOAACA
this season. They are to have arms
again, clearly defined ones, l mean.
Hips are coming into their own.
They are to be fashionable.
and the waist line is to put in an
appearance again. The dear old waist
line, which brings back memories OF
the tight, prim basque and the encir-
cling arms of affectionate husbands.
But perhaps the best news of all
I am keeping for the last. Women
are to walk, really walk, again! Lit
tie mincing steps and odd, curious
jumps are no longer the pitiful sub
stitutes for walking.
Skirts are to be wider. The slit
has gone. And, after all, when you
come to think of it, it was pretty
hard task to combine self-respect and
g slit skirt.
