A Costume OF Satin-Strlped fdille Showing
the New Gauntlet Cuff and Pleated Skirt
The latter part of last week the
bazaar of the season was held at the
home Of one Of the leaders of the

backed by Greclan summer houses,
ali the summer models were reviewed
and predictions made for the com
ing season.
Striped faiIle Favored Fabric
Every dress showed at least two
materials. heavy faille silk was a
favored fabric. One tall blonde
mannequIn wore dress of striped
satin and grosgrain silk which was
particularly new and attractive. It's

its charm being in the clever use OF
the stripes. The skirt had a pleat.

trast with the cuffs of the silk.
Skirts Short and Shorter still
There seemed to be no limit TO
the shortness of the skirt. The
costume just mentioned was worn
with white kid shoes and the skirt
was so short that at least an inch OF
the stocking showed between the
top of the shoe and the bottom of
the skirt. Indeed, many of the
mannequins looked like school girls
but shoes are fancy and skirts are
obviously short to show them.
