CLINGING-VINE TYPE
THING OF THE PAST

The clinging-vine type of woman
which We have all become accustomed
to during the past twelvemonth Is dis
appearing in favor of a more vigorous
type. The new military costumes with
trim and jaunty lines call for some
thing less relaxed in figure lines than
the debutante SLOUGH. say the corset
makers. The so-called natural figure
was desirable only when draped in
classical effects, and some figures this
past summer have been a little too
natural to be entirely pleasing to stick
lers for good taste.
New corsets for fall are a tiny bit
higher Adsted. not more than an inch or
so, ana the dainty brassiere is still
necessary to preserve a trim effect for
the frock foundation. but there is a de-
c1ded effort being made, both by the
corsetiere and the couturiere, to pro-
feet is not achieved by curving the cor
set in at back or front, for the line, es-
pecially at the back, must be straight
and fiat to give a youthful silhouette.
But at the sides, above the waist line,
the figure is permitted to curve out a
bit, and this, of course, makes 1t pos
sible to reduce the waist line just that
much.
The waist line must make some pre-
tense toward slenderness and trimness
IT bulky effect is to be avoided in a
gathered tunic or skirt. Widened skirts
will inevitably mean smaller waist lines.
and in selecting her new autumn corset
woman should pay heed to this warning.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
NEW YORK, October 24.-When the
first black velvet gown for evening
wear was shown among the smart
houses the women said. Rather old
fashioned and sedate. don't you think
but now the tide has turned toward
them.
Whether this movement reflects the
not-to-be-repressed sadness over the
suffering in Europe. or whether it is
merely the reaction from three years
of Russian and Balkan and Persian
coloring. is not easy to state. The fact
is sufficient for fashion purposes.
Black for afternoon and for evening
is the smart adoption. The woman of
moderate means heartily approves of
the verdict because it gives her the
chance to look well at saving of
money. True, a woman wearies Of this
constant US of a somber tone. but she
has the satisfaction of realizing that if
her wardrobe must of necessity be
limited she will appear to better ad-
vantage in black than in a color.
There is a return to the fashion of
pinning a gay rose or other flower on
a black gown, which is far prettier
than the cOlored bow of velvet ribbon
which held a place so long in the
Hvening a dead black gown is to orna-
ment it with brilliant jet or rhine
stones.
Among these gewgaws of colored
jet, which the best dresSmakers are at
last using. is bright but deep blue
one that is effectively used on black
velvet; it should be reserved for the
night. 1t is too garish for the after
noon, unless the gown is extremely
formal and worn only under artificial
light.
Worth's Rhinestone Belt.
1t was Worth who first put on the
wide belt of black and white rhine
stones as a concession to the deep
ening waist line. and now it is very
well liked. 1t is not fashion for
every woman. SO be careful.
The use of black and white rhine
stones as top to the decollete bodice
is good. and the woman who is no
longer Young looking can soften the
insolence brilliance of these giittering
bits of glass by layer of black tulle
over the entire network when it is
finished. This trick is not as well
known as it should be. The tulle suf-
fees to dim the glitter to a becoming
degree. Black is much better and
more effective than white. though the
ma jority of women use the latter.
The black rhinestones are quite ex-
pensive, SO they are not within the
price Of the average purse: ordinary
small jet beads are substituted and no
one would know the difference. On

trimming, strand of the blue crystal

THIS DAINTY NEGLIGEE CAN BE
MADE WITHOUT DIFFICULTY.
Ter to make than any other garments
and at a really small outlay you can
get all the materials and save good
bit.
1t would be hard to imagine a more
graceful neglige than that of the
sketch, and at the same time it can
be reproduced at home most effective
ly and inexpensively.
The under part is simply round
necked bodice and slightly full petit
coat of white crepe de chine Joined at
the waist under a row of pink chiffon
roses. 1t hooks in back and then a
sleeveless, long kimono coat of pale
pink charmeuse Is slipped on over 1t.
This has the edges bordered with white
fur or marabou, and to conform with
modish lines the length is just short
of the petticoat length and rather full,
like the new TUNES.
The slip has the gathered heading
about neck and sleeve ends. garnished
with more chiffon roses, while the pet
ticoat is embroidered solfd1y or In eye
lets around the bottom.
Even less expensive materials can be
used, and most effectively, too. The slip
may be of null or net, while messa-
line will do for the coat. or If that is
too thin. some of the nuns yelling or
challis are splendid.
