1t may be due to some Inability TO dye

and fro as the wearer moves and shows
as much of the turquoise blue under

Across the front of the bodice, reach
terra Gotta red satin embroidered with
a border in dark blue at the top. The
sleeves of this frock. by the way. are
unusual and significant. They reach
into the arm below the elbow and then
widen out into a veritable balloon
sleeve between elbow and shoulder.
There is no escape from the orna-
mental girdling of the waist, whether
one observes the normal. the subnormal
or the above-normal line as the correct
and pleasing one. If you like expert
ments, try all three lines at once and
if the effect of this trick IS not disas-
trous to your appearance you Will
measure up to some of the Paris stand
ards.
The designers over there seemed to
be as much up in the air as the pub
waist line. In this, as in several other
features Of dress, they are evidently
feeling around to hit on q silhouette
and a leading fashion that will bring
money to their slim pocketbooks. Do
rou blame them? They are in doubt.
There is no question about that in
Paris. any more than about the scarcity
of coal. gas and electricity.
The medieval robe dropping from head
to heels is still used as the foundation
of many frocks-despite the overpower-
ing presence of the oval silhouette in
it's various manifestations-but II is
lifted straight out of the period by a
belt that might have been worn in mid
Victorian days. so sedately placed is It,
about the waist proper; but to this
touch of primnesS is instantly added a
swing of the oriental and the far east
by the gorgeous piece of metal or en-
brotdery that is wrapped about the
hips: and, not content with combinin G
the symbols of two opposing races and
reigns, there is again, just for luck, the
high-waisted girdle of the first empire
the one that Is always associated
with the name of Josephine.
So, whatever the material OF the girdle
and wherever you place IT. do not for
get 1t. That's the important part of
the costume this season.

in gay colors in the form of cabochons

Another feature OF the spring fash
ions that must be reckoned with is the
longest tunic We have had in centuries.

porated this garment in her history of
feminine apparel for the reason that
she is not old enough. Usually, this

America. evidently. has made up its
mind to accept foulard. and no wonder,
for it is an admirable fabric for the
warm weather OF the continent from
now until October. But, mind you,
foulard is no Cinderella of material,
sitting in the ashes. It is on pedestal.
For brilliant afternoon gowns. and
even informal evening frocks that will
serve for the theater when one Is not
attached to a large party, the new kind
OF foulard is used.
There is one most satisfying fronk in
it-designed ri.ht in New York, by the
way, in deep, sparkling blue on which
is stamped huge silver flower at wide
intervals. There are two skirts. in the
modern manner. the lower one narrow

thought but the manufacturers
thought ran in another vein. They saw

that could be standardized and kept
continually on the market like serge.
At the moment it looks as though the
manufacturers have thought better
than the public. Jersey not only rivals
serge in the spring clothes, but runs
ahead OF il. Even the importers in this
country were surprised when the pack
ers opened the enormous boxes which
came over on the French steamers
from Bordeaux and lifted gown after
gown, suit after suit and coat after
coat OF jersey. There was no silk jer

has caused IT to be regarded with i'm

has ceased TO be a novelty. 1t has be-

women and was the delight of the eN-

relegated 20 the limbo of things that
were.

VESSELS BRING OYSTERS.
Arrival Of Potomac Cargoes Assures
Supply for THANKSGIVING.

The arrival in the last twenty-four
hours of three of the larger vessels of
the oyster running fleet with good car
goes of Potomac oysters aboard gives
assurance of a supply of the bivalves
for the Thanksgiving market. Today
has been a busy one at the wharf mar
ket.
While dealers have been on hand in
numbers and there has been a steady
stream of wagons leaving the wharf for
the uptown oyster houses, the small
buyer has been in evidence and the
shuckers at the wharf have been kept
busy opening oysters for Thanksgiving
dinners.
Wholesale prices at the wharf ranged
from so cents to 80 cents a bushel and
the buyer of a bushel or less has to pay
about ten cents more for his purchase.
Fish of all kinds, it is stated. con-
tinue scarce at the wharf market and
the high prices Of the past month pre-
vailed today. The only fish at all low
priced are ling and menhaden and they
are not classed as choice fishs.
