The SyIph-Like Waist
Threatens to Return

Special Correspondence of The Star.
PARIS, August 22.-The sylphlike waist
that poets used to praise has threatened
to return to US for ayear or two Ana
when the basque put in an appearance
last spring the waSpish waist was looked
forward to as a matter of course.
But the waist line is as difficult to find
as ever. In fact. in many OF the new
models it is impossible to find the waist
line, for there is none. The basque has
developed or degenerated into shape
less garment that hangs from the Shout
ders to the hips in an almost straight
line.
The redingote. too, another dominant
influence in the autumn fashions, is made
without a waist line by most OF the dress
makers. Cabot, to be sure. shows 1t with
drawn-in waist. But the Cheruit red
ingote shows perfectly straight hne
from shoulders to hem.
So in the daytime 1t seems. there Is no
waist line for the redingote and the
basque show their influence on almost
every suit and frock for daytime wear.
In the evening the waist is perhaps a
little more emphasized. girdle that
swathes the figure from the bust to the
hips is sometimes used, and this really
curves in at the waist line. But very
line in the evening. and one of the most
successful evening models shows sash
about the hips, with u loose. bagging
bodice above it.

EVENING GOWNS AND NEGLIGES.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
PARIS. August 22.-1t is an old story
that is told of the little boy who did not
know whether his mother was dressed
ready for bed or for ball. And per-
haps there is more difference this season
than last between evening gowns and
negliges If there is. it is the fault OF
the evening gowns. The negliges are as
lovely and as elaborate as ever.
And it is true that evening gowns with
their added weight of gold and silver

She tells me she has studied Short
hand and Is becoming expert at 1t. This
is double relief, for not only has she
kept herself from growing infinitely bored
and dull. but she has added to her bust

better to do.
If you are in some such job as that, a
position that leaves you free for Q large

concerned. try to find something that
will keep you interested, and II possible
something that will make you worth

You can read some silly book. or you

prefer.
Monotony and dizziness are fatal TO any
one. You simply dry up and contract

The Sash at the Hips.

The sash or belt at the hips is by far
the most usual sort in the new models.
1t is we'll managed now. When Premet
first revived the basque a sash at the
hips that tied in a big bow at the back,
just about at the end of the corset, was
a part of it. This bow was not liked
1t was too suggestive of the hustle, which
Premet also tried out unsuccessfully, to
meet with approval.
Now there is no bow at the back of
the basgue. The bow, if there is one, has
shifted to the front. Usually there is no
bow at all, but the two ends of the sash
are knotted loosely together.
Sometimes instead of the sash there
S fiat folded belt or girdle of satin
about the hips. wide hip belts of soft
leather are also worn, and these usually
fasten under fat buckle Of some sort.
On a smart frock which l saw the other
day there was dull black kid belt about
the hips fastened at the left under
square buckle covered with silk of Roman
stripes.
It is an odd thing that with all these
fashions that ignore and obliterate the
waist line and lengthen the waist the
skirt of the coat suit is still mounted on
an inside belt that fits at the top of it
just above the normal waist line
The Shirt-Like Bodice.
One of the fascinating little specially
shops here, that works especially to gain
favor with Americans-and now that Eu-
ropean war is general that is what all
the dressmaking houses want-shows an
interesting new model for afternoon and
evening wear. 1t is made up of a skirt
of velvet or silk, over which is worn a
chiffon shirt cut like a chemise This
little shirt hangs straight from the Shout
ders to the hips. where it is held in either

IMPORTANT ELECTION APRIL rs

Paris. April 22.-The elections of
1914 for the Chamber of Deputies,
which will be held on Sunday. April
26. will have an important place in
the history of the third republic.
The killing Of CASTOR Calmette, edi-
tor of the Figaro. by Madame CaillauX,
wife of the ex-Minister of Finance,
and the great Rochette scandal which
the Figaro tragedy served to bring to
a furious climax will, no doubt, have
considerable influence upon the voters,
but probably not so much effect as may
be thought by observers abroad. The
point which stands out in connection
with the elections is that for the first
time under the present regime two
powerful and welfdeiined constitu-
.,ionaI parties are opposed to each oth-
er. one of these parties is made up
of the Radical and Socialistic- Radical
groups; the other is the Federation of
Democrats of the left. formed n few
months ago only by Aristide BRAND
The old "bloc" of Republican groups
formed for the separation of church
and state. having once accomplished
its purpose. began slowly to disinte-
CRATE. II was first weakened by de-
nunciation on the part of the Unified
Socialists of the treaty of alliance,
then 1t lost one by one the assured
support of other Republican groups
ana their leaders. The opinion grew
that the uncompromising anti-clerical-
unit in the bloc" rigidly adhered, was
out of date and served only to pro-
mote internal dissension and national
weakness, and was. moreover, out of
touch with the bulk of public opinion.
However, by strict enforcement of
ed in maintaining a predominant po-
sition and no ministry could live for
long without its acquiescence. The
way in which the CaillauX cabinet
mis- handled the difficult international
crisis arising out of the Aadr in
cident caused widespread public dis
satisfaction and was the first blow to
the Radical prestige. In the following
year the Balkan war and the grave in
ternational situation caused Germany
to greatly augment her military
strength. French opinion at once took
alarm; the adequacy of Frances de-
fenses was called in question.
