NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-What OF the
new silhouette? What is the woman
to do who loves slender waistllne,
vet admires the full shirred skirts!
These questions are vexing Dame
Fashion. and she has partly solved
them, for she is distributing the full
ness about the waistline into side
gathering, plaits, corded shirrings and
other effective trimmings that be-
speak continued popularity for the
full skirt.
The new materials lend themselves
to the latest styles, with unusually
graceful results. Organdy has been
revived and it comes in many beauti-
full colorings. 1t is used for one OF
the few frocks that have come over
from Europe since the beginning of
the new year. The distinguishing de-
tails of the model are bretelles and
soft girdle. The organdie has de-
sign of mauve and pale blue flowers
on a white background, and the shade
of the blue Is copies in the pale blue
satin that forms the trimmings of the
frock This fashioned into shoulder
straps or bretelles that pass from the
belt over the back of the dress. The
girdle is soft and has low front.
The underskirt is of pale blue satin.
There is a touch that suggests France,
although the American dressmaker
can attain success in her own dress
ing room. The pale blue satin bretel,
les and bow are lined with mauve silk,
and this twotOned effect carries out
the beautiful color scheme to fine
conclusion.
The skirt of the frOck has COM
Portable fulness, and at the lower
part there is another ruffle that makes
the assurance double sure. The
sleeves are long, ending in a deep
rufile that drops over the waist.
This is to be one of the popular
forms of dresses of this type. Any
lowered muslin combined with taffeta
satin or plain silk and cotton fabric
will make up in a satisfactory way
after the model here described.
White cotton crepes, very soft, and
embroidered in yellow and green dots
are used by some of the leading dress
makers in the development of frocks
for early spring wear Sometimes
the round full skirts are shirred to
the hip yoke; then again, they will be
stitched onto the hip-yoke. perfectly
plain, without the least suggestion of
fulness. in every instance the waist
is very simple having its chief adorn
ment supplied by broad collar and
revers, cut in one. and cuffs of con-
trasting material.
The new rut-out and skeleton effects
in waists both for Independent wear
and as part of one-peice frocks are
clever developments in guimpes. Par
ticuIarly smart are the new guimpes
with high stock and side pieces of net
or lace. These sidepieces cross in
surplice style, leaving at the front
uncovered.
There is great variety of separate
stocks. In their simplest form they
are merely a band of material encircl-
ing the throat and turned down over
the band at the side in shaped tab.
Sometimes a bow of ribbon is added
at the front, but not always.
One of the quaint details of the
new tight bodices is the lacing. There
are in some bodices of taffeta faille
or satin, pointed little and laced
upin the front. There are other bod
ices laced at the back. with long
silk cords tied in small bow at the
top or the bottom of 1.-THE lacing. And
in still other frocks there are lacings
in the sleeves. These lacings are
quite decorative. and add touch of
ornament to the simple bodces on
which they are employed. The sim
plicity, even pIainness, of some of the
new bodices is quite noticeable.
Sometimes there are buttons, some
times there is stitchings. and occa-
sionaIly in an evening frock the little
bodice is edged with band of satin,
since softer materials are taking the
place of fur. But plainness is the
feature that marks most of them.
nevertheless.
Where the waistline will eventually
decide to be is matter for specula-
ton. Just now it is sometimes nor
