New York, Oct 15.-This years
type of girl is the daguerreOtype.
Hoops. mitts, bustles and pantalets-
not a thing is missing.
For two or three seasons now there
has been a threat of pantalets in the
offing but they have made very few
appearances in the ''oning" as 'twere-
This year it really looks as if they were
going to hang to the lower limbs of
our very best family trees. however
They are really most attractive,
these 1915 pantalets- Those for wear
with street and daytime frocks are al
most as wide and voluminous as divid-
ed skirts. To go with the smart fur
banded gowns now so popular the pam
taIets are also finished with a band of
fur around the ankles and sometimes
a ruching of the material is used be-
low the fur.
Charming lace and net pantaIets
like those we saw occasionally last
season are for wear with the fluffy
dance frocks whose skirts are almost
as short and bOuffiant as those of a
belle of the ballet. A new note is
struck in evening pantalets by strik-
ing model of silk cut like the straight
long pants of Chinese belle and
banded with gold or silver gaIIoon as a
finish
Speaking of gaIIoon, a novel use of
this metallic banding is shown on
model evening frOck worn in Marie
TempeSt's present play. 1t is a gown
and over the full, extremely full. and
short, skirt is an even RULER over-skirt
of white tul1e finished with a band of
silver gaIIoon around the hem caught
here and there with tiny artificial nose
gays The stiff galloOn acts delight
fully in lieu of wire to give that de-
sirabIe crinoIine effect
For yes, indeedy. though we aren't
wearing the real old fashioned hoops
yet we are getting the same results
with less bulky and more sanitary
cOntraptions. mostly wire
While most of the wiring is done
skirts, yet another effect is obtained
by wiring out sideways over the hips
This builds you out sideways like
Velasquez's celebrated portrait of the
Spanish Infanta-
If you don't care for these side ex-
tensions, however, fashion is most
elastic this year and allows a rear
extension with equal impunity-
It's the good old hustle again, of
course, brought up to date by being
formed of ripping folds of skirt back
breadths- This back draped hustle |
effect is much favored on formal I
evening gowns of heavy satin or velvet
that are very decollete and long of
