posing color. and. again. they are Of

a dignified house like Worth has put
emphasis upon sharply tailored skirts
to be worn with separate blouses and
topped by jackets that are shorter than
any we have worn for two years. These
Jackets are not fitted to the figure. but
are compromise between cape and q
coat.
Worth uses great deal of serge also
gabardine and the new kind of alpaca
which France has been exploiting for
two years with little success in
America. He also uses very thin wolfe
and several kinds of Chinese pongees
under their various names. such as
shantung and tussah.
Worth never goes in for an eccentric
silhouette. but this season he has
thrown in his lot with those who are
making narrow skirts. He has pro-
duced the peg-top skirt. as we are be-
ginning to call it over here.
The American buyers are doubtful
concerning the fullnesS that is put into
the waist line of this skirt to make the
barrel effect at the hips; the older
American woman does not care for a
thick bulky waist line. SO our shops
over here are working on the idea of
eliminating the pleats which are used
now at the waist belt and are thinking
out scheme of substituting yokes and
applying the fullness to the lower edge
Of them.

which shows up every deficiency in the
ankle and shape of the foot.
1t is quite evident from the unity
shown by the different dressmakers in
Paris that they intend to bring in the
round decolletage of the first and sec
ond empire.
Doueuillet is one Of the designers who
indorse the court decolletage. as it
used to be known. This displays the
top of the shoulders and arms. some
what after the 1S40 method which be-
came SO well known through the EN-
press Eugenie. who never failed to dis
play her famous dropping shoulders.
With these bodices there are orna-
mental straps that go across the upper
part of the shoulder. Few evening
gowns have any other kind Of decol-
letage but the round one. The difficult
line OF the renaissance is not again at
tempted. Something of the elegance
and dignity of the great gowns created
for the evening is lost in this kind of
decolletage. but 1t is here to stay for a
while. Its Introduction, connected with
the high waist line. the narrow hem of
the skirt and the pieats at the waist, is
sufficient to create a world full of new
clothes and to give the dressmakers a
chance to persuade every woman that
what she has Is deplorably out Of style.

from the rest and proclaims itself as a

One OF the interesting features of the
French fashions is the resurrection OF
foulard and also the combination OF
shantung and foulard in one-piece
frocks and in the short capes which are
now substituted for tailored coats.
No choice seems to be better for

is also shown. In the evening gowns

The tribute paid to Japan by the
French fashions is the Introduction by
Jenny of the large Japanese sash called
the obi, which is used more on after
noon than on evening gowns.

Whenever a skirt has been full below
the hips and narrow at the ankles. IT
has been high-waisted. This waist line
has been obtained in many ways: some
times the material is cut to fit deep
inner belt and corded or bound to its
groups at sides and back. Today the
pieatS are more universal than the
plain effect.
The high waist line on evening gowns
has TO do with the incoming of the first
empire and directoire periods, both of
which have been suggested in several
of the costumes that have been turned
out by the French designers during the
last six months. 1t was expected that
some definite move in this direction
would be made at the spring openings.
but evidently, tho designers have con-
tented themselves with a few touches
from the fashions of those two periods
and have let it go at that. Large revers.
a high. turnover collar at the back
long. tight sleeves that flare over the
hand and the high-waisted skirt be-

Doueuillet never exaggerates a fea-
ture, and for that reason the house is
beloved by the true Parisienne. In the
last two or three seasons, under a
change of designers and personnel. the
house has shown more of a desire to
enter into competition for the Ameri-
can trade, but before that 1t was quite
satisfied with its high-class European
clientele
Another feature besides the high
waist that the house of Doueuillet has
revived is the zouave skirt. which is
turned up al the bottom and attached
to q narrow lining.
The house Of Jenny also indorses this
Zouave skirt. 1t is probable that
Cheruit was the first designer to intro
duce 1t in a modified form. but Jenny
has quite made II her own during the
last two years. During the winter she
sent over several pale blue and rose
pink silk gowns which were little more
than full skirts dropped from the waist
belt to full Zouave effect at the
ankles.
Because of the overpopularity which
this skirt received by those who con-
stantly dance and dine in public. the
fastidious woman has kept away from
the model. She may now find herself in
the position of wanting to wear il
again. 1t is not an altogether unbecom-
