the waist are weighted with balls and
chains in the form of amber beads. The
beads are used instead of a tie, too
coming from under the collar. The
velvet of the dress falls in charming
folds ,and the pointed collar and deep
cuffs are of heavy satin. Needless to
add that this is costume for those
occasions when one wishes to be par
ticularly well-dressed, without having
that "dressed-up" feeling.
And Now Wool Trimmings
From Paris, uncensored comes the
report of something new in the trim
ming line! The vogue for knitting
and crocheting has received SO much
interest in that interesting art that a
new fad has sprung up. Wool trim
mings are used ON everything, from
the simple serge dress to the more
elaborate afternoon costume. There
are bands for hats, belts, sailor collars
and cuffs, all in shades soft or brilliant
as the occasion demands. These trim
mings are even, in some cases, sup
planting the use Of fur on suits and
coats. Shawl collars, made of angora
or brushed wool, are considered very
modish. Ball trimmings, crocheted in
bright colors, and round fat flowers Of
wool embroidery, can be used both for
hats and dresses. Just think how smart
you can be, with very little effort on

terials, it can be trimmed with fur, vel
vet, or left untrimmed, Just as 4
pleases you. The one illustrated herr
is very simple indeed, the side-panel
effect of the coat is one Of the newest
features of this season. Here The
straight silhouette is apparent: the
tight sleeves and the narrow skirt
seem to emphasize it.
And So 1t Goes
Do you remember, your dresses OF
1918, the year before the war? II you
have any Of them put away, get them
out, for the styles of to-day seem to
be returning to that year for inspira-
tion. Skirts are tighter than they
have been. The rnuch-talked-of hustle
is not unlike the drapery we all wore
then, and the sleeves are very much
the same. OF course, there are small
changes, and big ones too, that every
one can see.
There is fascinating little shop Just
off Of Fifth Avenue that lays great
stress on type What is your type !?
Do you look best in the long straight
things that give height and slender
ness? Or are you slender enough and
so can look like Princses Charming
in the hustle effect? Whatever it Is,
stick to it. This year you can, and
you will be backed by famous design
ers no matter which Of the two sill
houettes you choose!

Make Their Debut


There is kind Of breathless inter
est, in New York, over Nthe battle
of the hustle and the straight silhou-
cite. To-day, one is sure that the long
skirt and tunic, in other words the
straight silhouette, is triumphant; to-
morrow, there may be seen SO many
charming examples Of the hustle frock
both on the street and on the stage,
that one thinks it surely will be ac-
cepted. However, at the present
moment, the one-piece dress and the
frock with the long tunic seems to be
the favorite.

On the stage, to be sure the hustle
is most attractive. There is something
very graceful about the fall Of soft
materials in pleats or drapery, whether
it be at the side or nj the back. Sashes,
too, are used OF obtain this effect, thus

Simplicity Plus Charm
The slogan Of American Fashions
has brought out some wonderfully in

reason why the American designers
should not be the best judges Of the
styles most becoming and appropriate
to the American woman. The slightly
fitted waist, not unlike the first form
Of the basque, has a piquant charm
when combined with the tunic that is
longer in the front than the back, and
the ankle-length skirt. It is truly the
costume Of the lady, and the illustra-

features Of this style. The points Of
