NEW DANCE DRESSES AND O|NDERSKlRlS

The hostess Of the evening, taller and
more slender than the vivacious young
French woman, appeared in gown the
distinctive feature of which was the drap-
ing of the skirt. 1t was caught up in
front over belt of tango colored velvet
by a buckle from the pearl bodice. The
skirt fell from its front clasp carelessiy,
revealing on each hip foundation OF the
finest net lace This foundation also
showed for about quarter OF a yard
around the bottom. The skirt looked
merely like a piece of satin draped care
lessly over lace petticoat.
And the waist-well, should one call it a
waist or merely strings of pearls caught
by two buckles in front and back? One
thing that tended to diminish it was the
high belt of the gown which, by the way,
is feature of most of the latest evening
creations

Your Figure
Reproduced!

Is il possible to have a perfectly fitting
gown without weary hours Of standing for
pinnings, drapings, adjustings? Why not?
III your modiste has, not simply your
measurements. but an exact facsimile
of your own self, which she can twist and
turn and stick pins into to her hearts con-
tent, it is quite unnecessary for you to
endure the agony.
With view to eliminating these weary
hours of pinnings, adjustings, etc, here
tofore necessary in the construction OF a
perfectly fitting gown, and also with
view to simplifying home dressmaking,
New York firm is making dress forms
ito ORDER" in which every line and curve
Of the figure is reproduced. The measure
ments are exact, and each form, from
neck to knee. is a facsimile OF the indi-
vidual for whom it is made.
1t is OF a strong cotton fabric, stuffed
with a lightweight sanitary material,
which makes the form plastic, so that
slight changes in outline can be made.
Pins or needles may be stuck into any
part without inflicting injury. One
variety is collapsible from the knees
downward, so that while sitting down one
may conveniently work on the upper part
of it. IT can be scrubbed with soap and
water without injury. though cleaning
with art gum is recommended.

ART NEEDED IN ARRANGEMENT
OF SPRING HATS.

For many years a soodly number Of
the hats have struck the lay mind as
being composed Of a shape and feather.
But the models OF this spring really re-
auire the technique of an artistic mllliner.
some Of them are made Of transparent
borsehair plateaus, with lace insertions,
and others are an ingenious combination
Of Ieghorn or straw silk with shadow
lace. Such hats are trimmed with rib
hons and flowers. and they are effective
only when arranged by a practised hand
A novel hat worn by 4 fashionable
woman was composed of bronze straw 50
highly polished that it shone like brass.
The wings and ribbon corresponded to
the straw both in glitter and color 1t
Was a small sailor shape, with an eX-
tremely narrow brim and high crown, and
the points of the little wings stuck out
" front and back.

the trent. This tendency toward uneven
ness is the last word in fashions just now
A four-inch band of pearls was placed
directly on the tulle draped around the
corsage The tulle fell upon the skirt In
pannier effect and was caught over the
hips by another one of these pearl bands,
raised slightly i'm the front. over each
nip the net was allowed to puff some
what. 1t fell from under the band In
bouffant fashion. A distinctly Oriental
note was struck by loose front panel OF
pearls, terminating with rich eight-inch
pearl fringe.
The young woman's shoulders were alb
solutely bare, except for a wisp of tulle.
Around her neck lay single string OF
priceless pearls. clasped with diamond.
Her hair. though prettily dressed, was not
ornamented by jewels

Wreaths Of pansies and roses, showing

FRENCH IDEA OF AMERICAN
DRESS.

I on the stage in Paris. during the pres
4ntation Of lie Fills d'Amerique,' the
,old bell skirt stepped into the limelight
once more. With il a double breasted
coat. trimmed with wide revers and cuffs
was worn. This is the way the American
girl appears 10 an ordinary Frenchman,
sturdy, severely dressed and businesslike.

pETTIcoATs IMPORTANT.

But the latest evening gowns have cut
the Gordan knot. The couturiers solved
the problem simply by treating the skirt
as IL it were merely draping. Two side
Sits going up TO the hips permit any
movement. and. by the way. display some
extremely artistic underskirts. The petit
coat these days plays a most important
part In the garniture Of the gown. The
Sits in the side are only one Of the means
employed to give the necessary freedom
TO the limbs. Sits climbing two-thirds Of
the way up in the back and front Or
skirts looped up by a back pun. so that
nothing hampers the feet but a flowing
net petticoat. are to be seen at every
evening affair
UNoERsLIPS MADE TO sE SEEN.
One pretty young woman the other
night danced in a taffeta gown arranged
in this latter manner. Another girl OF
about seventeen danced in little lace
gown, under which she wore an under
skirt ending a tri1e below the knees.
Swinging and stepping as she did. this
innovation seemed so natural that it oc-
casioned no remark. But it is a style To
be taken up only by graceful women with
very slender ankles.
SHAWLS OF PALE MAllNE.
In the way OF novelties, some very ef-
fective maline shawls were seen, in brill
liant pinks, blues and greens. One in a
pretty shade OF rose had each point gath
cred bit together and finished off by a
pink jet tassel. The tango slipper seemed
TO be much in favor.
Some OF the gowns worn at the dance
looked very costly. They were richly col
ored velvets. trimmed with expensive an
| brilliant stones, and looped and draped
excessively. But although they appeared
so ornate, they suffered artistically in
comparison with the simple little evening
dresses worn by the French visitors

TING THE REQUIREMENTS
OF THE DANCE.

During the last season couturiers have
been facing one great difficulty. The in
congruity between long dance steps and
thirty-six inch circumference skirts re-
suited in many frsyed tempers and hens
II was nothing unusual for a delicate
ball gown, which had cost weeks Of plan
ming and work, to be sent back after ono
nights wear a wreck.
The skirt was likely to torn in front
at the sides or in the bsck-sometimes In
several places. Modistes planned. schered
and worried TO evsde this difficulty. How
could a skirt be made wide enough 10
permit the new dance steps and dips and
narrow enough to conform with fashions
DEGREES? Silk inserts were tried. They
proved little patchy In appearance, and
then they were constantly becoming
ripped or torn.

ia making her own clothes. can easily
cut and sew skirt OF this sort The ma
terial is cut straight. practically the same
Width at top ami bottom. The only skill
required is in the attaching OF the skirt
TO its belt.
This is an excellent model for sepa-
rate skirt. II. however. a coat is made to
match. u should be trine more than
hip length and rather loose. A yoke very
short in front and lengthening under the
arms will add to its style. A collar OF the
same material might be fastened with a
sow or blue silk, and piping OF blue taft
fcts around the coat would make the suit
. sim smarter.
TAILORED SUITS MORE ELAso-
RATE.
The fact is that suits. as whole. are
more elaborate than they have been for
long time. Some severely tailored ones
appear here and there. and no doubt the
business woman will avoid the lavishly
trimmed suit.

WHITMAN OR WILLIS IN 1916
President Said to Believe He Will
Face One of These.

Washington, Nov. S.--Interest has
been aroused here by statements wir-

that President Wilson is convinced
that either Charles S. Whitman, Gov
ernor-elect of New York, or Frank b.
Willis, Governor-elect Of Ohio, will be
his Republican opponent for the Presi-
dency in 1916.
Frank B. Willis, who already is be-
ing discussed by Republicans of the
Middle West as a Presidential posi-
bility, and President Wilson were
both born on December 28th. But
Mr.. Willis is sixteen years the Presi-
dents junior. He was born in Della
ware county, Ohio, in 1872, while the
President was born in Staunton, Va,
in 1856. Eight Presidents have been
born in Virginia, while six We're
Ohioans by birth.
Both Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Willis be-
gan life as "schoolmasters.' Before
his election to Congress in 1910, Mr..
Willis had served two terms in the
Ohio Legislature. He was for several
years a professor in the Ohio North
