First Indications for Spring Simplicity,
TrimnesS and Variety
One Notices a Tendency Toward Slender,
1apering Waists
/ SKIRTS STILL SHORT AND FULL

New York, March 24.-Paris and
New York are both at the moment,
and have been for ever so many
weeks back, in the midst of the Spring
opening hubbub. We are not quite
sure as yet whether coats are to be
short or three-quarter length, wheth-
er sleeves are to be tight or loose,
whether blonde or brunette will be
the fashion this season.
It is quite safe to predict, however,
that the same general lines suggested
in the mid-season openings and at
the various fashion shows will be fol-
lowed.
Here and There the Tapering Waist.
Quite often one notices in the new
importations tendency to the slen-
der, tapering waist; and this, Of
course, means the well-corseted figure.
It is not probable that the hour-glass
figure will be countenanced for mo-
ment, but trifle more trimness, con-
duced by well-fitting modern corset,

faring skirt and coat-skirt. A care
fully selected and properly fitted cor
set is necessary and always has been
to smart, well-groomed appearance.
Rather than injurious, the right corset
tends toward health.
Several of the Paris houses are ad-
vocating the three-quarter-length coat,
and now and then one sees polonaise
effect. These coats are made with
well-fitted shoulders and rounded
waistline. It is quite remarkable that
this should be so just now, when we
are massing so much fulness in the
skirts between the belt and the knees,
but it only goes to show the wide va
riety we are to enjoy this Spring and
Summer.
A Word on Skirts.
Skirts continue short and full. Many
of the houses are emphasizing the IA
vor shown by them for the crinoline
since the first whisper of full skirts
began to circulate, and many are u.s.
ing interesting methods of extending
the skirts; among these are reeds,
featherbone, and even hair-cloth stiff
Jennings. In many instances the reeds
are graceful and becoming, but, as a
rule, the effect is extremely awkward,
as there is no pretense whatever of
concealing the mediums, and they
often protrude at unexpected angles,
giving a curious, un-beautiful result.
In the regulation Summer frock and
the dance dress of net, organdy, or
other of the sheer, dainty fabrics ia
vored this year, the fulness of the
skirt is made decidedly graceful and
youthful by tucks, ribbons, and bias
bands of the same, or a contrasting
material. Often folds of chiffon or
net are attached to the inside of the
skirt of the dance dress giving soft,
bouffant effect which is pleasing in
every way. Taffeta is unusually ef-
fective combined with, or as trimming
for, the pale-toned frock of organdy
or net, fashioning the Summer dance
dress. In both illustrations this week
the skirt is of taffeta and the effect
of the deep tuck is we'll brought out.
The first dress has an. underbodice
of shadow lace and a simple over
drapery of chiffon. The short sleeve
cap, while it comedies to Fashions
sleeveless demand, also makes con-
cession to modesty. The second frock
shows the combination of net and taf-
feta. Aside from being especially pref
ty, this combination is practical, as
net wears particularly we'll and lends
itself to almost any fashion Of drap-
ing.
