Designers Bring Out Few Novelties for Spring

the hem of a skirt being shortened IN
front. for Callot has insisted upon this
irregularity for several seasons, and
two years ago was aided and abetted by
Premet, who insisted on making skirts
that were as irregular in their hang as
those of gypsy or Indian maiden.
The present hem. which is narrow, IS
sometimes ornamented by an upturned
cuff made Of another fabric and color
and cut much shorter in front than in
back. The shortness comes exactly in
the middle of the front in the shape OF
a point or a rounded scall0p
At first, il made its appearance on
evening gowns, but since the American
designers have gotten hold Of the
French clothes and are modifying and
turning them out in slightly altered
shape this hem, which is uplifted In
the middle of the front. has appeared on
sport suits, on street suits and on cloth
and satin afternoon gowns.
The cuff hem. as it is called. is quite
that an accessory like this-the up
turned band-should make such a
strong appeal to the majority of de-
signers well as to those who do not
create gowns. 1t is on hats. capes top
coats and even shoes, shopping bags
and gloves.
AS an Offset to a colorless gown il
is very attractive idea. Take pleat-
ed, white crepe meteor skirt, for bright
green taffeta at the hem, add a short
green taffeta sport coat, green stock
ings and white shoes, and you arrive
quickly at an interesting and artistic
color scheme for spring days>in the
open.

cause she needed money, she pulled the
card from the pack, put it on the table
and the game was over.
And yet. the masses, after all. make a
fashion worth while financially. The
drastic revolution in the silhouette has
just begun to take good effect The buy
ers and reporters saw nothing striking
ly new in the exhibitions of Paris fash
ions during the month of March. but
now, on the 1se of April, the women all
over the continent are seriously takin s
into consideration the acceptance OF the
hobble skirt
There is no use dwelling at this hour
on the fashion of the oval silhouette.
Women have all read and heard about
il until they are probably weary of the
subject as a theory, but intensely in
tereSted when it suddenly appears as i
necessity to accept or to refuse. 1t is
well to accept the hobble skirt, for that
is the only name that can really be
given to the prevailing pattern, which
is held in to less than two yards a the
hem.
The more debatable question is how
this hobble skirt should be achieved.
Here are some of the ways that France
has done it in her new gowns
She has cut the skirt in melou- sha ped
cores, but this is not a frequent trick.
II is used III some skirts that belong to
coat skirts strictly for street wear.
She has made the top of the skirt
over each hip exceedingly wide by ar
ranging a kind of slit-pocket effect and
