THE NEW BARREL
SILHOUETTE
Fashion Offers Straight Lines as Well
as Barrel Effects this Spring Silks
Strongly In Evidence.

by those who have complained of be-
ing tired of the eternal straight
line.
True to it's name, the new silhou-
cite is in the outline of barrel,
bullying at the hips and drawn in at
the waist and ankles. There are
many ways Of accomplishing this
puffiness over the hips. One is by
The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1917-03-15

New York, March 14.-There will
be two fashionable silhouettes this
spring. The slim silhouette. with its
straight, clinging lines will continue
to be first in favor, as 1t has been
all through the winter. but the new
barrel skirt will give women chance
to indulge in the bouffant effect,
which will, doubtless, be welcomed

attractive color combinations. The
stenciling is done on the fronts Of
the coats or only on the belts, Just
enough to furnish some contrast.
This Is one of the very newest trim
ming ideas.
In spite OF the great vogue for
colors in all the brightest hues and

in all manner of combinations,
great deal of black and white Is used
When cleverly handled, this comoin-
alton is always attractive, and it is
again very fashionable in Paris and
New York. Solid black and white
checked materials with rather large
checks are considered smart for
coats, both for the long separate
coats and for shorter coats to be
worn with white serge skirts.
The Importance of Ribbons.
Ribbons are coming in for a great
deal of prominence this season. They
are not used only for small Access
series such as girdles and collars,
but have become much more import
ant and have been employed for para
soils and hats. Very wide striped
ribbons combining three or more har-
monizing colors have been used very
effective ly to make parasols and to
cover the entire crown and top of
the brim of lightweight straw hats
for sports wear. Matching parasols.
hats and handbags made of ribbon
or the pretty figured silks. are seen
over and over again.
Narrow grosgrain ribbon is en-
ployed in rows, one overlapping the
other, to cover the crowns and brims
of some hats. Sometimes two colors
are used alternately. The brim OF
white panama hat was covered in
this way with old gold and dark
green ribbon. only the crown remain
ing in view to tell that the hat was
a panama. An idea for remodeling
your last years panama, you will. no
doubt. think! Another panama was
faced with black velvet under the
brim and the crown draped with
black and white silk with tassel
placed at one side.

the clever draping OF the material
at the waistline somewhat after the
fashion of the "peg-top" skirts that
were used some years ago. This type
of the barrel skirt is shown in the

sketch, which illustrates a dress of
figured pongee with sleeves and belt
of plain pongee in natural color. The
skirt narrows down to two var IS at
the hem; for the narrow skirt, es-
pecially in this form, is to come in
with the spring, fashion authorities
say. This silhouette has also been
named the "bowling-pin: and look
ing at the whole silhouette from
shoulders to ankles, and not merely
from the waist downward, the name
is indeed most appropriate.
A good many spring coats have
taken on the lines of the new silhou-
cite. showing that this effect is not
restricted to dresses only. a very
smart model is fashioned with deep
band at the lower part, the fulaess
Of the upper part gradually losing
itself when 1t reaches the band. Ma
chine stitching furnishes the finish
of this coat, which Is shown in the
second sketch. The material is soft,
spring-weight velours, one Of the ia
vored spring fabrics.

Satins and Variety Of Silks
for Spring.

for Spring.
Perhaps the most generally
favored of all fabrics this spring will
be satin. 1t Is to be used for one
piece dresses, for suits, and for sep
arate coats. This material will also
be in demand for evening gowns and
afternoon dresses, and for these its
popularity will be shared by char
meuse, which is very closely related
to satin. The suits and dresses of
satin will be decorated with bra!ding
and embroidery. and much of the
embroidery will carry out the Orien-
tai colorings which are distinctly in
vogue this season.
There is a decided predominance
of silks for spring. Among the silks
for suits, poplin, rajah and tussur
are strongly in evidence, and many
novel ideas the noticed in the devel-
opments of these materials. On a
suit of gold-colored silk jersey
black velvet was used for the collar
and for band at the lower edge
Of the coat. Some suits Of rajah
