The Loose Sash.

Nature and the dressmaker haze
combined in a new kind Of waistline
which gives grace and conforms more
to what the average woman can accept
There is a loose sash or a braid,
wrinklcd grdle, and often the waist
is wrapped twice with the material,
with a knot or bow at the back or the
left side
Tall women as we'll as short ones
can adopt this kind of girdle without
dctriment TO the length OF the line
from neck to ankle, and 1t allows one
to produce something of dignifed
attitude in dress as opposed to the
loose smocks Of artists and French
peasants.
Out Of this theory of dress, there
has come the immense popularity of
the outside blouse with its loose wrap
pings of oolored satin or silk ip the
way Of a girdIe, and also the blouse
Jacket which has been worked out in
peltry in manner that reflects credit
on the furriers.
The Peltry Wrap.
There is every reason to find short
warm fur wrap more acceptable thar
a long coat or cloth or peltry, Wher
one motors, these long, enveloprnr
wraps are necessary, but when on,
walks, shops or takes a trolley car
the weight is not easily endured II
the street, and the warmth Is not a
all endured in the shops, Therefore
the short jacket or fur, and some
times satin or velvet, intUlined, ha
risen to high degree OF popularity.
The sketch shows one Of thes'
jackets, which has strongly Orienta
bias made OF dark blue satin which i
interlined with that kind Of quiltec
wadding out Of which Japanese sack
are made.
BY the way, all this quilted material
when il is soft, has come into favol
as a lining for coats that are to b.
used without top coats,
The blouse is belted across the front
but il hangs loose in the back, like ;
cape. The belt nius through slashe,
at the side, which are outlined in al
elaborate manner with orange en-
broidery. The bell-shaped sleeves arr
trimmed with squares Of orange EN-
broidery aud hang loose over tigh
cuff Of the satin, which flares over tn
wrist.
A wide fur neckpiece is worn wit
this coat on the street, and the ha
that is sold with it is turban OF blac
velvet with gold fringe at one side.

There is very little doubt IN the

OF women, even when they are reduced

II Is possible that the campaign for
the gown Nth the sharp waistline
failed as popular fashion because il
took an old-fashioned figure to make
il appear at its best. There are women
who cling to the curve In at the waist
