The Medieval Chemise Frock

He ANY one hoped for decided charge from
4 the medieval frocking that has governed
the world Of dress for the last two years,
there will be disappointment. Paris says it
viii 90 on. And at the present moment affairs
are in Paris hands. We shall see what we
shall see when the new clothes arrive in mid
September. but in the meanwhile there are too
many authentic runors Tor those on the watch
towers TO be in ignorance.
Here is the way in which the new kind Of
ffock will differ from the one that is in your
possession now, in all probability. 1t will be
as narrow at the hem as it was five years ago.

be so loosely girdled that the waist line will be
as supple az in a sweater.
The loose armhole, with it's effect OF being an
imitation Of Chinese jacket, Is in fashion, but
there il a leaning toward the exaggerated me-
dieyalism Of the swinging arnhole, with
sleeve that protrudes from beneath II and
which does not borrow its characteristics or
even It's coloriDg At times it inclincs toward
strong individuality

placipg on these chense frocks is BIB that

blance Of curves by tho girdle.

Usually the workmanship in this bib is re-
peated on the skirt. Paris is quite determined,
that is certain, OH the vast reestablishment Of
her business in embroidery. Her women are
needleworkers of Importance. None is so good
on this planet, possibly, unless isolated excep-
tons in the Indian and Persian countries.
Her gentlewomen are trained, as all gentle
women used to be trained in olden days. before
the sewing machine and ready-to-wear gar
ments, in the art of holding needle filled with
fine thread and accomplishing wonders with it.
Money has been scarce among the people IN
aristocratc segments of French life, and the
war has brought about the same kind of situa-
ton which existed during the Revolution: those
who are too proud to work for their living in
other epochs will now do so under the national
strain.
Also, there are thousands Of Belgian refu-
gees and French women in other classes of life
and society who must be supported. France
does not believe in the non-producing con-
sumner. And so these women and men, too old
even to serve in that terrifying service Of bear
ing the wounded from the trenches Of the hills.
which has been given 10 those who do not bear
arms and who are sure Of their footing and
their nerves, are given the gentler service OF
embroidery for the worlds clothes So every
woman who buys a gown that is embroidered
in France is helping France.

Clothes Form Historic Episodes

Not only will different countries be repre-
sented in the medley Of costumery that is com
ing to US, but various epochs in the history OF
places, especially of France-the First Empire
the Consulate, the swrling and transparent
draperies made famous by Nine. Tallien, the
Queen of Shreds and Patches as she was nick
named the biblike panels of embroidery worn
by the Queen of Rumania when she arrayed
herself in the native costumes.
The polonaise will be revived from that day
when the predecessor of Rose Berth, who
gowned Marie Antoinette, made fashionable
the striking garment worn by the Polish prin-
cess, Marie, whom Louis XIV made Queen OF
France. Those Chinese wraps and sleeves and
tassels worn by the noblemen who represented
Peking as the first embassy sent from China to
France are recalled into the new fashions be-
cause China is with France and is fighting, as
she fought to be republic. Nine. Pompadcur,
who insisted that La Tour paint her with the
Chinese porcelains brought to the King OF
France by the Celestials as background,
made "Chinoisie" the fashion.

Lanvin's Continental Hat

We are going to have the Kerensky and
the Pershing hat, the cowboy skirt, the poncho,
and now, in far more digniied manner, we will
reflect Americas warlike spirit in that same
Lanvin's introduction of the hat worn by Cen
eral Washington and Light Horse Harry Lee.
The Continental hat, even in its modified
form, has already served as inspiration to those
who are bit weary of the ubiquitous high
crown and wide brim. The sketch shows a
hat of this sort in black satin that was bought
by American millners shopping in Paris.
1t is worn far over the brow, has iuted
ndentation in front, and is transferred from
its masculine origin to its present setting by

Therefore, when Louis XIV took unto him.
self Polish princess for wife, the dress
maker of that day, the immediate predecessor
of the famous Rose Berth, took the occasion to
celebrate the event in cloth and embroidery.
Such was the manner Of dressmakers.
The garment that was invented was called
the polonaise. 1t was modification of the
sumptuous robes that Marie brought with her
as a part Of her trousseau.
The garment almost covered whatever was
worn beneath. 1t was as concealing the
Greek tunic, the Roman toga. In one form or
another it has succeeded itself throughout the
years since it was projected into Paris fashions
from its native land with curious persistence.
Again this garment has appeared over the
horizon Possibly the struggles through which
Poland is going, unfortunate Poland, with her
great genius and her greater misery, have
tempted the French to reflect her present dis
aster in costume.
In the adaptation Of the polonaise to modern
requirements the floating panels at ths aides

The prospect for any especial couture for the
hours that are hatless is waning, if the hats of
the autumn continue to grow in size so that
they will completely cover the hair. Nothing
will show but an "accroche ceur," or Vic
toran puff
The hardressers have tried to introduce
more ornate couture than women have con-
sented to wear for several years, but so far
one can see no bright prospect of it.
Those who are in Paris are writing over
here about the really remarkable frocks
that are being launched at the Paris
theatres, in order, possibly to stimulate the in
terest in French clothes at time of the year
when it is necessary for Americans to buy
gowns to help French commerce. And on
these stages, where the great designers have

1t is not a waste of time to be fully aware of
the kind of costumery that you should adopt.
The comprehensive adjustment between your
type and your clothing will save money, nerves
and regrets Don't be so foolish as to say any
thing will do in these warning times and then
spend money recklessly on the wrong thing As
a great designer once said to an American
woman Of health, serenity, strength Of body
and courage of face. If you are Doric, be Doric.
That's the way to decide clothes. If you
are eighteenth century, be eighteenth century,
and if you are as mannsh as cowboy, be that
in your dress.

Coats, Long and Short

The struggle will not be between wide and
narrow skirts this coming season, but between
long and short coats.
Each designer has turned outa few of each
length, some to the shoe tops, some to the hips.
The public can choose between them, or adopt
both.
The coat and wastcoat in one, as Drecoll
conceives it, is both graceful and dignifed.
The cloth is dark green velour, shade and
fabric that seem to have made an impression
already upon the early fall fashions.
The long panels of the coat are generally
gathered at the waistline and the lining of
crepe shows as the material swirls away from
the tucked skirt of Georgette crepe in dark
red. The armholes are characteristic, for they
are indicative of the caprices which these open
ings have taken to themselves.
They are battlemented, they are scaoped,
and sometimes they run to the wastne, show
ing heavy cords of satin or silk. 1t is me-
diaval fashion to bring the armholes down on
and over the sleeve and slash them into artistic
Irregularities and the dressmakers have sud
denly thought of it and accepted it as fashion
to be INDUCED for the autumn.

The Importance of Type

Know myself" was written not only of the
spirit; it can be applied to clothes. No great
designer is ignorant of the. Siamese-twin con-
nection between mind and matter as it relates
TO the mental and moral outlook and the outer
covering. The Dorc character in shepherdess
costume is painful. The black-browed type of
old Egypt is a caricature in garlanded hoop
skirt. The Victorian type is terrifying to
see in vampire robe. So it goes.
In few weeks the gamble will be on. Hun
dreds of women act in the buying of clothes
somewhat after the manner that governed the
lottery of our national CONSUMPTION They blind
fold the eyes, put the hand into the mass of ma
terial offered and draw out number.
When the ships that dodge the man-made
sharks of the sea bring to us these cases of
silks. brocades, metals, embroideries and vel
vets fashioned for the American woman, we
will see that these clothes are the heirs to all
the ages. China will dominate some bits OF
costumery the influence of Napoleon will be
there, the Russian Cossacks who threw them
selves before the retreating 18th Regiment IN
Galicia will be another motive for certain cut
and color and the recent exhibition of French
clothes in Madrid is reflected in the things that
were brought out of Spain.
