 tributing Fullness Into Side Gathering, Etc.
(By Maude Hall)

 New York, Feb. 4.-What of the new silhouette? What is the woman to do: whO loves a slender waistline, yet admirers the full shirred skirt.
 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 the1 full skirt.
 The new materials lend themselves to the latest styles, with unusually gfaceful results, Organdy has been revived and 1t comes in many beau tifuli cclorings,, 1t Is used for one of the Jew s,frocks that have come over from Europe bince the beginning of the new year.s The distinguishing de- tails of the model are bretelles and soft 'gfrdles The organdic has a design of mauve and pale blue flow era on white background, and the shade of the. blue is copied in the p9le blue satin. that forms the trim mingasot the sfrock. This is fashion ed into shoulder straps or bretelles that pass from the 6clt over the back of the dress. The girdle is soft and has A low front. The underskirt is of pale blue satin. There is touch that suggests France, although the American ufcssmaker can attain suc- cess in her own dressing room. The rale blue satin bretelles and bow are lined with mauve silk. and this two toned effect carries out the beauti- full color scheme to fine conclusion.
 The skirt of the frock has com fortable fulness, and at the lower part there ia another ruffle that makes the assurance double sure. The sleeves are long, ending in This is to tc one of the popular forms of dresses of this type. Any flowereG nldslin combined with taf- feta satin or plain silk and cotton fabric will make up in 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 dressmakers in the development of frocks for early spring wear. Some times tSH roend, full skirts are shtr- red to the hip-yoke; then again. they will be stitched onto the hip-yoke. pertectly plain without the least sug- gestion of fulness. In every instance the waist Is very simple having it's chief adochrnent supplied by broad collar and revers. cut in one. and cuffs of contrasting material.
 The new cut-out and skeleton ef- fects. in waists both for independent wear and as part of one-piece frocks are clever developments in guimpes. Particularly smart are the new guimpes with hig stock and side pieces of net or lace. These side pieces cfoss in surplice style, leaving V at the front uncovered.
 Tnsfe is a great variety of separate stocks. In their simplest form they 4fe merely a band of materiar en- circling the throat and turned down oyer the band at the side in shaped tat, Sometimes q bow of ribbon is added at the front but not always.
 one Of the quaint details of the 11v light b6dites is the lacing. In6ye are some bodices of taffeta fSilli of sattn, pointed a little and i1rod 1p in tho front.
