present You are right, but how about
the new season?
Looking closely among the clothes
worn by those whose object it is to
keep a little ahead of the multitude in
fashions, one sees several straws
which show the direction from which
the wind may blow. The use of Scotch
plaids in top coats, in killed skirts;
the use of killed skirts themselves;
the growing height of the neck line
even in evening gowns; the pecuii-
arity of the hens in wide skirts which
are formed by succession of godet
folds; the increasing popularity of
the very short coat cut in a straight
line; the use of full plaid velvet
skirt with one of these jackets sur
mounted by tiny velvet cap with
two streamers at the back-eaeh and
all of these are incoming fashions
which warrant our attention.
In evening gowns there is a tend
ency to opaque fabrics and the pendu-
lum swings away from the Oriental In
coforing and in transparency. 1t would
not be surprising if the serious months
which the world is going through will
result in far more sober style Of
costumery.

In shoes we have neen looking with
a friendly glance on those which Pa
ris borrowed from Argentina. We
wear colored uppers, as the English
do, and change them with short-yamp-
ed, patent leather laced shoes, with
white kid uppers, and now we are
swinging in to high CATERS which
come up to the short skirt that rules
the season.
We have broken our faith with the
broad shoulders, always vaunted as
Anglo-Saxon, and given our allegiance
to the, narrow shoulders known as
French and omitted the fulness at
the waist line, no matter what the
garment. We have dropped the ex.
aggerated empire waist line and are

BY this season of the year the styles
in dress have been so weeded out
that we so about well informed as to
what we should avoid and what ac-
cept We know that the short skirt
is the most fashionable to wear, and
that the haring long coat with its al
most imperceptible belt well below
the normal waist line and its long,
close sleeves, is correct, says the New
York Times. We have adopted the
satin blouse, close fitting, with high
wFinkled collar of satin instead of
chiffon; we have partly given up the

ments should fasten up the front.
In hats we have adopted the one

years; and in coiffures we have be-

Silks Will BE
PLENTIFULADD
LOWER in PRICE

According to the preparations being
made by the elk manufacturers, there
win be no scarcity Of silks this season
for the woman who would wear this
fabric and it is thought that she win
be enabled to purchase it at lower
price. 1t is said that The silk market
is recovering from the disturbance
caused by tne political situation. and
manufacturers are not only making
careful study of the fashions with .
view of selecting weaves that Il is
thought will prove popular next sea
son, but are placing sample lots with
garment-makers and awaiting the for
NAL spring openings which usually
take place In January. there seems
to be much reason 10 expect that tar
fetas will be among the favored
weaves, and return OF an old style
Is predicted in the floral designs. II
is generally expected nat waFp-priut
taffetas VII! be popular in the spring
novelties and come as a result OF tie
favor In which flowers are held for the
corsage and millinery
Fuller skirts require heavier silk,
and this is another reason for the
expected favor for taffetas. Expect
ing such a tendency in the styles
manufacturers are making a compfo-
mise between the very light weights
Of the chiffon taffetas and the stilfer
weaves advocated by extremists IN
styles, but which have not been aD-
proved by the women who win be the
wearers of the gowns to be made Of
II and who do not take kindly to the
thought of the old-fashioned taffetds.
Satins show the same tendency TO-
ward heavier qualities, but what is
looked upon as heavy satin is not ox-
pected to appear in any quantities Be.
fore another year. as they are con
sidered more appropriate for winter
than for the summer season.

VELVETS LEAD
IN FASHION LAND

IN spite OF the fact that the beginning
OF the season was haunted with rn-
mors OF scarcity OF our richest fabric.
velvet. garments Of il are becoming
pientifnl. and there Is apparently NO
deafth Of the material as vet upon the
shelves Of merchants. Frequently a
good quality OF velveteen cannot be
distinguished from the genuine silk
velvet. and much Of the latter fabric -
consequently used.
Especially Is velvet being used for
al. ernoor wear in both froeks and
street suits. For this purpose II Is, to
be found in various dark. rich shades.
brown. blue. green and black predoni-
mating. There Is q tendency toward
light shades of sand and putty.
The wider the skirt the greater the
weight Of material suspended from the
hips. and so it is that. while an occa-
sional extreme model of velvet Is to be
found with four yard skirt. the con-
sentative width in velvet does not ex-
coed two and three quarter yards. Even
the frocks and suit skirts 81 circular
cut frequently do not exceed this
width. The narrow models are prac-
ticable for street wear.
Transparent sleeves In afternoon
frocks of velvet are also exceedingly
practicable for house wear and for the
three piece suit. A former objection to
the entire velvet froclx was The heat OF
the heavy bodice for house wear. but
the transparent sleeves obyiate this
discomfort.
Velvet boleros are appearing on the
one piece frock and suggest the Short
ened waist line. which Is gradually
coming again into favor and il so be-
coming to the majority Of figures.
No richer fabric has the world ever
known than velvet, not even the
weighty metal cloths embroidered in
genuine gold in the splendid days. nor
has there appeared one more becoming
to fair faces. old and young.
The typical afternoon restaurant cos
tune for the late winter is a velvet
tailleur trimmed with fur and with
skirt cut very short to reveal smart
buttoned boots with tops Of light cloth.
The headeear may be tiny polo tur-
ban perched on one side and worn with
a nose veil or q huge velvet sailor with,
stifayA outstanding brim. The alternate
of this costume IL q fur trimmed frock
worn under seal coat or smartly cut
coat Of fabric trimmed with fur. These
afternoon dancing frocks are of pussy
willow sill, nocturn or goldenrod satin
or Of poplin or the charming worsted
and mohair mixtures which are much
liked Tor the new ripple effects.
