At pictures of your granny
When she was young, my dear
You used to laugh and giggle
E'ut look now in your mirror
And you will plainly see
You're dressed up just like granny
And mighty chic you be.
NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-This years
type Of girl is the swagger typel
Hoops, mitts, bustles and pantalets-
not a thing is missing.
For two or three seasons now there
las been a threat of pantalets in the
nffing but they have made very few
Hppearan 'es in the "Oning" as 'twere.
This year il really looks as if they
were going to hang on to the lower
limbs of some of our very best fam
NY trees. however.
They are really most attractive.
these 1915 pantalets. Those for wear
with street and daytime frocks are
almost as wide and voluminous as
divided skirts. To 90 with the smart
fur-banded gowns now so popular
the pantalets are also finished with
band of fur around the ankles and
sometimes a ruching of the material
Ia used below the fur.
Charming lace and net pantalets
like those we saw occasionally last
season a-e for wear with the fluffy
dance frocks whose skirts are al
most as short and bouffant as those
Of a belle of the ballet A new note
Is struck in evening pantalets by a
striking model OF silk cut like the
straight long pants of a Chinese belle
and banded with gold or silver gal
oor as a finish.
Speaking of galloon. a novel use
OF this metallic banding is shown on
q model evening frock worn in Marie
Tempest's present play. 1t is gown
ri Pompadour silk with a tight bodice
end over the full, extremely full. and
short. extremely short, skirt is an
even fuller over-skirt of white tulle
finished with a band OF silver ealloon
around tine hem caught here and
there with tiny artificial nosegays
The stiff galloon acts delightfully."- in
lieu OF wire to give that desirable
crinoline 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
around the hem of the full short
skirts, yet another effect is obtained
hy wiring out sideways over the hips
This builds you out sideways like
Velesquez's celebrated portrait OF the
Spanish Infanta.
If you don't care for these side ex
tensions, however, Fashion is mos
elastic this year and allows a real
extension with equal impunity.
It's the good old hustle again o
course. brought up to date by beinl
formed Of ripping folds of skirt ,bacl
breadths. This back draped hustle
effect is much favored on forma
evening gowns of heavy satin or vel.
vet that are very decollete and Ions

Quite the most reminiscent of deal
old granny's youth is a model JACKIE
suit OF black and red wool plaid L

veals to startled modern eyes littl'
low necked waist of the plaid abso
lutely sleeveless save for tiny cap
like puffs of the plaid over eacl

laced up the side.
These side-laced gloves are quit

worn with every sort Of day-tim
