motoring influenced all styles. There
are big hats. heavily. trimmed. but the
small one is still featured by the best
designers.
One that is decidedly smart is the
conical hat, ending in small pompon
or other ornament at the very point.
This is made in fur and velvet, and is
one OF the hats worn with the skat-
ing frocks.
Short or Long3
The question OF short skirts is still
an agitated one.
Paris is still sending them out and
American dressmakers are still max
ing them. They are very short. so
short that an, especially high boot
must be worn with them. These short
skirts are not attractive if they arc
worn with any but high boots, boots
that reach up to meet the skirt.
The bootmakers must be almost az
glad of the short-skirt craze as they
were of the dancing craze. For sew
eral years the fashions have SO EN-
phasized the feet that women have
had to pay much attention to foot
covering. Last year and the year be-
fore dancing held fashionable atten-
tion-and everybody knows how easy
it is to dance through a pair OF thin
slippers. Then came the short skirt;
women could not wear that we'll un-
less they paid especial attention to the
state of their boots. Also, thereare
the very high boots which, for the
plausible reason that they require
more leather in their making, cost
more than the lower ones; yet these
high ones are almost essential to the
successful wearing of the short skirt.
Skating. too, is welcomed by the
shoe dealers. Nobody could think of
skating in the high-hcelcd boots that
women wear nowadays for the street.
So it is necessary, il one skates, to
buy special boots for the PURPOSE.
