toms of the famous pull-back skirt to which the hustle was attached. That ap- bondage is also in fashion, but made so inconspicuous that it cannot offend even the most conservative taste
 Odd as it may sound. many of these pull-back skirts are longer than anything we have had for four years. They have to be of decent length, for their ten dency to lift at the back and pull across -he knees would bring the front hem higher than the law allows.
 It is mockery to refer to a law in dress, probably, in the light of what we have seen during the last two years Tor what the French call "a souvenir o1 a skirt and a regret of bodice has woman's costume.
 However, as one reviews the skirts ot the moment there is definite reason te believe that the figure will look mucf ls it did last spring Trimming is lifted from skirts; the hem is often 10 inches from the ground. instead of eight; the fullness at the waistline has almost van- ished; the fastening at the front oI side is not tolerated. But all of these features of fashion are merely acceritu- ations of an accepted style. The de- signers have cut down to the bone. i.s 1t were. and given us all in the way o1 grace. cleverness and beauty after they sacrificed every inch of material that might have been superfluous.

 There are belts on some of the new coat suits which are almost corsiets' and an accessory of this type on. the wrong figure would turn good looking woman into a caricature.
 There is a nest of belts, four or five of them. linked together by some com mon cord at the Side and back and dis posing themselves over the entire mid de of the body.
 There are actual corslets of floriated jet, of Egyptian tissue worked in tur- quoise and jet beads. of black silk oraio on a satin or serge foundation. and these reach from ths bust to the point of the hips. with the ends adjusted by hooks and eyes or by rows of cloth covered buttons.

That medieval chemise frock that came
 in with such a ringing of bells and blow
 ing of trumpets has decided that 1t will
 continue to. be a welcome factor in fash ions. There are good many women who are tired of it, as we are not proof
 against seeing one thing multiplied
 through every phase of our existence and
 it has not been humanly possible to es-
 cape tunics since they made their ap-
 pearance.
 There were not as many of these gowns the early trade of the season as by the
 French, who evidently are not in the least tired of the one garment They have repeated it in pleasing ways They make 1t in thin and in thick fabrics; they offer it as a. coat, on an evening gown and as an elongated blouse for the
 house. The entire movement of French clothes shows this tunic coming in and out of the film.
 Possibly the one new feature that Is most noticeable about 1t Is the slashing at tho sides. The house of Doeuillet IS credited with having started this move nent It looks we'll and it is part or the universal tendency in clothes to l pi esent panels from waist to ankles. They are put by every tailor and dtess- maker where they do the most good or the most harm. They are Egyptian or, as some critic said, mid Mckinley They have allure and they have most evil pos 1 abilities of ugliness

ors as well as the public. France, evil dently. could not make up her mind to put all her chances for success into one throw of the dice. so she made Russian tunics slashed at the side and called them coats; then she built three-quar- ter coat with the high waistline of the directoire and the immense position cape collar that was worn during the revolution. Even then she was not sure of herself, so she threw in dozen or more short coats.
 The verdict of those who deal in great numbers of coat suits Is that the three quarter length will be accepted in the beginning of the season and the short coat will come into it's own after Christ mas. There you are. You may take your choice and pay out your money, but you may regret one and lose the other before the actual cold weather sets in. Twas ever thus with fashions in Octoberl

Let us again come down to the plain facts of fashions. New clothes are pass ing before the eyes as quickly as vital and dramatic series of motion pictures.
 One has only sufficient mental vision to catch at the leading points as they swirl by. These things will not go into oblivion. They will return as do the moving films: but the world of women wants to get at the gist of the move ment at this moment.
 The whole continent of women is buy ing autumn clothes. Those who preached economy suspension of fashions. stand ardized uniforms for women, the turning of woman buyers in the industry of ap- parel into the work of war relief, must feel that they have preached in vain.
 Naturally there was 8 germ of truth in what they said. Women do spend too much on clothes in isolated segments # society, and the working woman probably spends more than fair percentage of her salary on frocks This led to lack of saving by the wage earner and an in- Tation of prices by the exclusive dress maker who caters to the rich and caro- less; but these commercial episodes are part and parcel of the web out of which life is woven. The girl who works usu- ally does so because she can have better clothes to wear than the poverty of her home life affords, and with better clothes sine has a better outlook on life. more cheerful vision of hardships. Therefore, if she works. she has right to spend her money In the way that gives her . pleasure and profit. A good array of sensible clothes brought at small prices takes the drab tone out of life-
 One cannot deal so ieniently with the rich and careless women who pay stu pendous prices for clothes under some false idea that they are getting what is s exclusive or what is impossible else where In truth. they are merely ca- tering to an imitation of values. They are bolstering up the fortunes of those who deal in fancy prices with very little back of them except the necessity to pay tremendous rents and salaries. If the gowns were exclusive to the rich and careless women. there would be some solid foundation behind the price, but we all know that, with few exceptions, every French model and all successful AmeTIcan ulOueib Hto coPicu py eii0 uu1i- dreds. and that no woman Is sure of an exclusive style unless she has 1t made and designed in her own workroom.
 The reel of clothes that is running off quickly before the eyes of every wom- an Is not nearly 50 confusing If one brings to bear upon 1t well adjusted Judgment.
 The first impression one has Is that the vital changes are few. but this impress sion gives way after a day or two to the feeling that the changes. whatever they are. are very important
 The majority of women look at new clothes in the light of a contrast to uld ones. There are few women 50 wealthy taht they do not say when they see the influx of new seasonal fashions.

If that is to be the style, can wear my blue gown of last year.
 There will be hundred or more re- marks like this made by the women who view the clothes of the hour. France has not changed her silhouette as much as America has. She produced the lead- pencil figure late last spring. but Ameri- ca takes 1t up this October with an en- thusiasm that Is usually given to what Is original.
 A few of the American designers have exaggerated the French idea.
