skirt or tunic, the flare coming at the
sides. At the back and front the
skirt should be fat to the figure. In
order to successfully obtain this effect,
and the proper fulness, which is shown
in the skirts, the fulness at the back
is box pleated in two or more large
box-pleats which are pressed very fat.
At the sides or front the skirt is gath
cred or shirred.
A stunning tailored suit for young
married woman, suitable for lunch
cons or afternoon bridge, shows the
clever combination Of the new black
braid with velvet. The skirt has the
full ripply appearance which is so
smart without being really full. The
coat is cut on the straight lines of a
French soldiers uniform. This is
called Cuirass shape.
A dress which could be used for
general utility wear, not too dressy
for mornings and yet dressy enough
for afternoons, was made from blue
and yellow plaid. The model was
called Rob Roy, because the idea was
taken from the Scotch Highlander's
tartan.
The coats, both for evening and for
everyday wear, were strongly in
fiuenced by the Cossack coats. These
are tight-fitting at the shoulders and
faring at the bottom, usually trimmed
with vide band of fur. The fashion
able fur-cloth, or velvet, can, also, be
used for the landings. These are, Of
course, very much less expensive. For
the evening coats wonderful brocaded
materials, Oriental in designs and
Oriental in weave, are used, heavily
padded and interlined but usually with
the outer lining of a rich and heavy
satin in plain color.
The wider skirts which are coming
to the fore are often trimmed with
graduated bias circular bands stitched
onto the skirt. Such a skirt may be
seen on the illustrated model. With
this skirt is worn a basque waist,
having a U-shaped yoke reminding
one of mans starched shirt bosom.
A frill of pleated chiffon is worn next
to the neck within the collar of the
material which stands up stiffly in the
back.
The fur-cloth, of which / have
spoken of many times is not only used
many times, is not only used for
for trimming, but for the whole cos
tune and for the separate skirt.
Often it is combined with other ma
terials, such as velvet or broadcloth.
The costume illustrated is of velvet
and furdoth. Velvet is used for the
waist, which has vest and collar of
rich brocade, with cuffs of fur-cloth.

led as closely as possible after models
imported from Paris.
The United States is not the only
country that has tried to wrest from
Paris the enormous amount of money
spent each year by its countrywomen.
The Queen of Holland requested the
dressmakers of her country to design
costumes inspired by their Dutch en-
vironments, but-the first thing all
the worth while people in this pro-
, fession did was to hurry to Paris for
inspiration, resulting Paris gowns for
Holland, rather than Holland gowns.
Likewise, the Italian Queen tried to
stimulate the Italian dressmakers by
wearing only gowns made in her own
country, but for all that they were
distinctly Partisan in cut and style.
L The present war has given the de-
signing and making of gowns here in
the United States a new impetus, and
one of the leading New York stores
recently advertised an exhibition of
suits and gowns made and designed
in their own American workrooms.
These costumes were shown on train
ed maninkins and in most artistic sur
'roundings. The result was wonder
fully successful, although they were
in truth, SO essentially under Partisan
influence that one could hardly call
them truly American made. No doubt
in the course of number of such en-
deavors-while Paris is shut off by a
wall of war-the home influence will
be more apparent.
The gown which seemed to me most
American was an evening gown of
yellow brocade, the color of a Cali
fornia poppy. A wide girdle of pink
velvet girdled the waist. The pink was
of the color of the poppy petals at
their base.
