effect at the lower edge that always
suggests the awkward walk. We may
have something Of the barrel sug-
gestion later. but it is doubtful II it
will take any considerable hold and
for the moment at least we may look
only for notifications Of the idea. In
the hands Of the expert designers, the
effect can, OF course, be made attract
i've to a certain extent. A very beau
tilul gown from a noted Partisan house
is, for example, q grey crepe de chine
with a guimpe Of grey chiffon. The
skirt is full and slightly draped to
suggest the barrel idea The over
bodice is made with big arm-holes and
is prcttily full over a little vestee.
The sleeves are quite novel at the
wrists, forming loose plaits that are
weighted with silver tassels. The
collar Of the guimpc which is of the
chiffon is embroidered with silver and
the silver reappears at the front at
the neck edge. The girdle which is
wound twice around the figure and
simply knotted is Of grey faille em-
broidered with dull gold motifs. 1t is
a very beautiful gown, not even the
suspicion Of the barrel idea can rob
it of its grace, but the idea is one that
must be handled by an expert to get
a good result.

The afternoon gown that is shown
away up in the right hand corner
exemplihes the favor shown char
mouse. The entire gown is made Of
that material with trimming Of a
wonderful Paisley crepe that makes a
very fascinating contrast.
The young girls frock shows a tunic
Of still another sort for it is open at
the front suggesting the favorite
Redingote idea. The frock is made
with the skirt Of straight embroidered
net founcing and with the UNDER
bodice TO match while the tunic and
the over-bodice are of tulle through
the meshes Of which the design Of the
lace appears. The frock is all white
but the girdle is in bright shade Of
cerise.
Straight skirts are always pretty
for the younger girls and sometimes
they are made all in one, sometimes
in sections or Aounces joined one to
the other. OF course they always can
be used for founcing or bordered ma
terials and there are simple embroid-
cred nets that are beautiful. A plain
net could be finished with picot edge
and worn over a colored slip to be
very charming and dsinty. or it could
be embroidered with a little design

national Importance. Before the hOr-
rors Of the war the theatre was the
potent element in Paris, and in spite
Of conditions there is a tendency TO
turn in that direction for suggestions
and for idea. On this side OF the sea
we have been hearing considerable
talk about the barrel skirt. Il is not
graceful garment. it has a great many
objections. 1t has been tried in
previous seasons and it has not been
found satisfactory. The attempt at
revival is easily traceable to the Revue,
now running at one of the Paris
theatres. Evidently, it is something
Of an extravaganza as plays OF the
sort are sure to be, and, as a matter
Of course, tendencies are to be exag-
gerated. In the shortage Of other
inspirations, the Paris designers. have
seized upon the very extraordinary
barrel effects that are to be noted in
the costumes seen upon that stage.
and many of the advanced models
seen here give evidence of the idea.
How far they will succeed is an open
question. They are not being met
with enthusiasm as yet, and. as
already stated, assuredly they are
not beautiful. Better by far are the
skirts that are broadened at the hips
by means of bones or by trimming
or by treatments Of some such sort

All Forms of Embroidery are
Fashionable.

All Forms Of Embroidery are
Fashionable.
PROFESSIONALLY, embroidery is to
continue its favor through this and
into the coming season. The advanced
models show very free use Of the finish
and beads and metal threads and
threads Of silk and Of wool all are TO
be noted. Simple stitches seem TO
be the preferred ones and a great many
gowns are simply finished with designs
carried out in what we know as the
running stitch or the simple plain
stitches that are used for seams, taken
evenly, and that stitch can be used
in plain lines or over a braiding design,
but as a matter Of course, Il a braiding
pattern is used the dressmaker must
be clever enough to work over tissue,
not to transfer the design 70 the cloth

effects and repeated rows Of machine
stitching have been utilized to make a
really distinctive finish for a tailored
costume. Exquisitely dainty gowns
show the edges outlined with en-
broidery and It is notable that there
are almost no fine stitches used for
this work upon gowns. The fine
needlework is largely reserved for
underwear. An attractive costume
Of chiffon shows a border, for example,
Of little daisies and their leaves. They
are worked in what we know as lazy
daisy stitch, but a really individual
touch is obtained by using threads Of
floss for the stitches and putting a
single long stitch of heavy silk at the
center Of each leaf. Soutache braid is
largely used not alone upon gowns
but upon hats. One sees very charm.

costumes are made much on the lines
Of those designed for sports, but OF
wool jersey in plain oolors and OF
gabardine and Of similar materials.
They really are ideal for travel. for
shopping and for the general business
Of life, and they give all the simplicity
Of the sports idea without the brilliant
coloring. A most attractive one is OF
warm grey wool jersey with just
touch Of white on the collar to give
relief. Jersey cloth is constantly ex-
tending its usefulness. 1t is a very
attractive material, it takes beautiful
lines and folds and some Of the cleverest
designers are using it for simple alter
noon gowns as well as for street cos
tunes.

The Needs of the Family
are Considered Here

THIS is a season at which new
designs are sure to appear.
Women who appreciate such
matters are on the keen outlook to
learn just what will and what will
not be fashionable for the coming
season. TUNES arc to be extensively
worn both for afternoon and for even
ing costumes and usually they are
worn over simple circular or semi-cir-
cular skirts Of moderate fullness, the
idea being to make a contrast between
the width Of the skirt and the width
Of the tunic.
Crepe de chine is a pronounced
favorite for afternoon gowns and it is
combined with satin and with silk and
with various materials Of such sort.
For evening occasions, lace is liked
and net and all the diaphanous ma
terials over the richest silks and satins
and sometimes over brocaded silks.
The evening gown that is shown in the
illustration is made Of lace over a
heavy satin, but the same model would
be good for silk net over a brocaded
silk or over a silver lace or over any
material of such sort. The metal bro
cades and the metal laces arc greatly
in vogue and are very beautiful. The
bodice Of this gown is especially note

cloth in plaids, showing such rich oolors
asblack and orange and worn over skirts
Of plain color. They are exceedingly
beautiful and they are in every way
distinctive. Unquestionably the silks
are attractive, they are dainty and they
are summer-like, but perhaps the fact
that there is a nip Of frost in the air
here, makes the wool appear a little
more suitable at this writing. a very
beautiful costume shows a plated skirt
of plain white wool gabardine with a
typical sports coat Of rose colored
Khaki kool with collar and cuffs Of
the skirting material. 1t is exceed
ingly handsome and it is brilliant
enough to satisfy the most exacting
taste.
In Season and Out Of Season.
The one great drawback to this
sports idea. which seems TO have
taken the world Of dress by storm,
is the tendency to overdo, and 20
wear out Of season as well as in season.
II the brilliant colors could be reserved
for the handsome materials all might
be well, but they are duplicated in
cotton and they are cheapened and
here in this big city at least, we will
see limitations of the handsome COS
tunes worn upon the streets for
shopping, for walking and for all sorts
Of occasions where they do not belong.
As a matter OF course, they cannot be
attractive. The fact Of their brilliant
coloring renders them suited only TO
the background Of open spaces Of the
seashore or Of the mountains or to the
country club for which they are de-
signed. Worn upon the crowded
street with one jostling another and
in the shops and in places Of the sort
they are simply bizarre. Let US hope
that the lesson Of suitability will be
taken to heart.

dacks, extremes meet here IN old
Gotham. We have seen silk sports
costumes until we are a bit weary
and the wool which is, perhaps, de-
signed for the North and the early
days Of the Spring in intermediate
climates, makes a greater appeal
from the standpoint Of elegance.
