The Newest Wells.

@MALL shapes in millinery are so
~ adaptable to the use of wells that
women are using them extensively.
The tiny turbans often have for their
only decorations a circular chantilly
veil or a mesh veil with satin bind
ing on the edge. The circular wells are
thrown over the top of the hat and are
sometimes caught on either side with
an elongated jet hat pin. The veil Is
then allowed to ripple over the face
just as the skirt ripples at the foot.
The color of the veil usually matches
the hat. Some wells are wired with
tiny wires to accentuate the hared
effect A novelty among wells is cut
circular with the edge trimmed with
narrow velvet ribbon. the ribbon also
heading the three-inch fiounce. The
veil is pointed in front with red rose
of small dimensions attached to the
upper band Of velvet, which is caught
about the throat and snapped in the
back

These belts could not be worn with the

White or light muslin frocks have

when small waists were IN fashion. The

1t has been neglected. along with

has way Of swinging back like PEN

Every feature Of our modern life must
necessarily come under the influence
of the spirit that prevails already over
this planet. Gone are the days of un-
bridled opulence. Gone is the epoch
of licentiouS expenditures. Gone is
the decade of contemptuous careless
ness. We are Il wiser. sadder, gamer.
but much better people.
No age is lived in vain. We shall
hold fast to the supreme accomplish
mentS of this riotous past; we have laid
hold of tremendous truths and blazed
the way for a great era. The terror of
the magnitude of things we have swept
away and those we have established
have entered our souls. and we have set
our feet in sober paths. We hitched
our wagon to the stars and have trav-
eled far, and we now face a new epoch
in calmer air.
What has this to do with the reSur
rection Of the normal waist line, you
ask? Much. 1t is a straw in the new
current of our lives, and straws have
ever been signs.
Will Waist Decrease in Size?
The absorbing. practical question of
the moment, far away from any his
toric connection between clothes and
moral development, is whether the small
waist is to be expected. No one seems
to be able to answer this question with
anything like assurance. Speculation is
rife, and the experts think that by June
we will be pulling in the corset strings
and the moralist will at once ask how
that condition can be looked upon with
approval as savoring of Improvement. 1t
is unhealthy, ungraceful, and belongs to
phase of dress that represented 'he
acme of artificiality.
Possibly it is too much to expect of
women and fashions that they hold to
Improvement all along the line; 1t IS not
human to be evenly good. Original sin
must break through somewhere, ana IL
seems impossible to depart from the
license of orientalism into the prudery of
Victorianism without adding error to re-
form. The pendulum has a way OF swing
ing too far back.
For several months the corsetieres have
been pinching the corsets at the sides
of the waist line with foresight born
OF an intimate knowledge OF the drift OF
fashions. Then they added an inch or
so to the bust line and began to support
