For evening wear shortness in the skirt

INDUCED in now. There are predictions
that the old waltz. two-step and polka
will all return to favor in the next six
months. prominent dancing teacher
a day or two ago said she was sure that
these old-fashioned dances would be
brought forward again to satisfy the de-
sire Of dancers for change. But 1t Is not
at all probable that dancing will lose
any OF its popularity. any OF its charm,
even II the old dances do return. They
will doubtless return in a new guise that
will make them as exciting and interest

OF a good many moments that are past
The New Evening Bodice.
There is much variety in the new even
ing bodice. All skirts are full. But bodices
differ from one another with decidedly
pleasing inslstence.
The sleeveless bodice is still the rule.
But the high, puffed little sleeve is also
used. 1t compliments the Empire waist
line which is several inches above the
natural waistline, and 1t is decidedly
pretty in a frock of silk with full skirt,
short skirt and no girdle.
The finishing of the waistline Is an
other interesting feature of the new
evening frock. The wide girdle is used,
and on many frocks where the normal
waistline is outlined it is outlined with a
wide girdle. Sometimes this girdle has
long sash ends that meet at the side or the
front. Sometimes it is draped about the
figure in the manner of a hip yoke. And
occasionally there is bow at the back
But when the high. Empire waistline is
observed. there Is usually no girdle at
all. A band of flowers may outline this
waistIIne, or a roll of tuIle punctuated
with flowers, or a double frill OF tulle,

Tune and satin, faiIle and taffeta, lace,
velvet, brocade, embroidered net-these
are perhaps the most important of the
fabrics that are used for winter evening
frocks.
The new. fuIl-skirted models have given
great prominence to sllk-faille and taf-
feta. But they have also been developed
very effectively in tulle and lace.
Some means of stiffening these thin
fabrics-llke tulle and lace-is. of course
necessary. For they must be made sub
stantial enough to hold the full. faring
line of the season. The skirt made of
flounces is more easily held out in thin
fabrics. Three lace founces, each gath

ilarly arranged. give a decidedly bouf-
fant effect.
Sometimes the tulle or lace is made
heavier with sequins and spangles Of
jet. or with embroidery of silver and
gold thread. Sometimes, too. it is finely
pleated. All these devices serve to hold
it out.
That the full skirt is definitely rein
stated in fashion is made sure by re-
ports Of conditions-indicstions Paris.

is a cord covered with the fabric of the
frock to mark this waistline and some
times the bodice and full skirt are Joined

low the girdle are folded and pleated
to form a sort of pannIer on the hips
SO the girdle. the pannier and the Jumper
effect are all combined. all effected by
simple use OF band of satin six or
eight or ten inches wide.
The pannier is persistent. 1t has never
been really popular. since It was revived
in Paris several years ago. We have used
it now and again, but on the whole 1t
has been considered unsuccessful Now
behold 1t reappearing in many Of the
new, full-skirted frocks. Some OF them
are made with an overdrapery on one
hips. and some of them are made with
a skirt that is really much longer on one
side. The extra length Is pufTed up into
folds and pleats to make the hem line
even.
Flowers and Flowers.
Artificial flowers are actually more in
use than ever. Popularity kills some
things. but not artificial flowers. Nothing
could be accounted more truly popular.
Yet they are used with increasing er-
feet and charm.
They are used singly. large ones for
the c1rsage. They are used single and
in groups for the skirt. Sometimes one
flower appears on each of the fiounces
OF a three-tiered skirt-three flowers OF
different but harmonious colors. Flow
ers. too, are used on the girdle and at
alTrOst any point where the frock needs
color. They are used m little groups on
the wide skirts around the hem-some-
tunes in old-fashIoned combinations of
cornfiowcrs, buttercups and poppies, or
violets, rosebuds and forget-me-nots in
little circles or clusters that are sin
