HIGH COLLARS AT THE BACK
indications Are That Paris Has Given
Up Effort to lnflict Either High
or Round -Neck-Line.

From the lovely lingerie blouses-
and those of georgette crepe and chif.
fon as well-shown in the smart shops
and worn in smart places, we may
judge that Paris has almost given ul
her effort to inflict on the American
woman either the high collar or the
rather unbecoming round neck-line, ac-
cording to a fashion correspondent To
be sure some of the very smartest new
blouses have what is Sometimes called
the Zine of decapitation," but many of
the new blouses show a rather deep "
square, oval or round line in front with
little turnover collar at the back
deftly harmonized with the front,
turnover that fits well up against the
neck, almost touching the lower line
of the hair. This line of collar, high
at the back and low at the front, is,
we all know, distinctly becoming to the
American woman.

CAPES NEWEST FASHION NOTE
hitting Service, as Far as the Outer
Coverings Are Concerned.

The ultra smart clothes that are
worn at the Fairgrounds of the South
are the straws that tell which way
the wind is blowing in the world Of
fashion.
The cape is, really, the newest note
of the season as far as outer COW
erings are concerned. It is making
it's appearance more and more fire.
quently, observes a Palm Beach fash
ion correspondent. The most recent of
travelling capes has two or three dis
tinctive features which are worthy of
detailed notice.
The new capes are made for actual
and uhremitting service, and, there
fore, have points Of interest all their
own. They are. as rule, cut circu-
lar-many yards, even as-many as five
around the hem, and a top that is cut
exactly to meet the closely {. ting col
lar at the neckline The collar then
is cut so that it rolls and folds about
as ones mood wishes it to do, fall
ing carelessly, gracefully, and broadly
over the shoulders when the cape is
unfastened.
Others of these travelling capes,
while they are still cut on circular
lines, have gathered at the neck, so
that they float away in more graduated
fold. But more often not, they are
void of the yokes which were strik-
ing feature of all the best winter
capes.
One of these service capes was made
of the most interesting variety of vel
ours cloth, woven in plum-colOred
plaid, with citron-colored stripes max
ing the blocks. The cape had places
cut in the sides for the hands to come
through, provided with extra straight
pieces set on to simulate cuffs. Then,
just underneath, on the cape, other
straight pieces were set on to form
pockets. This slight divergence was
the only departure from undiluted
straight lines. With this cape its
owner wore a purple velvet hat, soft
and crushable in shape, touching one
shoulder, and flaring from the face
with a soft fiange over the opposite
eye.

SNAPSHOTS OF FASHION

Lingerie blouses will be very impor-
tant for spring.
Silk poplin separate coats and suits
are being developed for spring wear
Jet bids fair to be popular for spring
both for dress and millinery trimming.
Unique straw knitting bags to match
South-wear hats are being used at the
Florida resorts.
Very smart are satin-striped habutai
skirts and blouses, which form the
latest blouse suit for summer.
The knitting activities of women and
girls has revived an interest in aprons
and many lovely models are to be
seen.
Challis dresses are attracting the at
tention of dress buyers, so you may
expect to see them in the shops very
soon now.
Smart worsted plaids, with new,
less brilliant colors combined, promise
to be popular in separate skirts for
spring wear.
Heavy silk embroidery floss will play
strong part in hat garniture for
spring and twine is also being used to
make novelty flowers and other unique
trimmings.
From Florida comes the report that
stunning ostrich neckwear is seen.
These new pieces are in the fiat effect
and add greatly to the effectiveness of
South-wear costumes.

VARIETY OF Wraps
Short Garments Are Made Like
Attenuated DoImans.
Use Chiffon of New Egyptian Tissue.
Satin Lined or Trimmed With
Fur and Embroidered TuIle.

Every letter from Paris lays stress
upon the short wraps. They are made
like attenuated dolmans. They are
OF chiffon, Of the new glistening Egyp-
tian tissue, of satin-lined or trimmed
with fur and of embroidered tulle.
They resemble elaborated scarfs.
Some of them tuck in at the waist
line in the back and drop long in the
front; others go over the front of the
figure in surplice fashion, wrap around
the waist and tie with huge hustle
bow at the back.
They are worn in the afternoon over
thick fr0cks; they are worn in the
evening over half decollete frocks;
they have taken the place of many
short, separate jackets for street
wear, and they are seen at all the
performances in the theaters and at
the opera, as well as in the restau-
rants. They are not removed. They
are intended as a half-concealing,
half-revealing and altogether subtle
and attractive garment.
woman will come into a reStau-
rant with a dull lavender gown Of
satin, beaded and cut out half low at
the neck, with the arms bare from six
inches below the shoulders, and the
whole top Of the figure and gown will
be covered by short, draped, shirred
wrap with sleeves of corn6ower blue
tulle, the ends of which may be
weighted with Chinese tassels in black,
gold and yellow.
There are dolmans of black satin
lined with fur, and others that have
bands of kolinslzy or ermine which
form collar and outline the long,
pear-shaped armholes that often serve
without sleeves. And again and
again, the fur or the Egyptian beaded
embroidery or metallic tissue is used
to hold in these short wraps at the
waistline and to form a bow or ends
at the side or the back.

New York.-Paris and Palm Beach
command the attention of those whose
fortunes are tied up in wOmen's ap-
parel. Paris is more important in a
large sense; Palm Beach in small
er sense. 1t depends on the view
point.
Paris is exhibiting to the American
buyers the things TINT we will wear;
Palm Beach is exhibiting to society
and the fashion reporters those things
that were devised for us to wear as
long ago as the first of December.
Nearly all of the fashions that are
worn at Palm Beach have been sketch
ed and detailed, because they were
turned out by American dressmakers
through local inspiration or through
adaptation of early French models
before or just after the Christmas sea-
son.
Therefore, fashion writer states,
it is more important to dip into the fu-
ture and recount what Paris has shown
to the American buyers. What is now
worn in Palm Beach we will undoubt-
edly wear through the spring, but so
far, in a big season of that resort,
there is nothing of extraordinary orig
inality, and whatever is done has been
foretold and outlined
The unusual cold, the extraordinary
delays in travelling and the impossi-
bility of getting ones trunks on time,
have contributed to a state of irrita.
ton at Palm Beach that one does not
associate with that land Of lotus eat
ers and pleasure seekers.
1t has been the toss up with the
pleasure seekers as to whether it was
best to fight out the situation in the
North or, go to the evil they knew
not of in the South, and the result has
divided the great mass of moneyed
people into two camps.
The same trouble that confronted
the pleasure seekers in going to Palm
Beach were added thereunto 100 per
cent for those who went to Paris to
represent our business firms and bring
back the allotment of 1000 gowns,
which we consider a good showing in
this country.
Last fall this allotment fell short
by 500 gowns, and it is not easy to
say whether the buyer will do better
or worse this season. Cargo space is

WAIsTcoATS SURE OF FAVOR
Garment Promises to Be Much Worn
This Spring, Adding to the Ward
robe of Smart Women.

Waistcoats are surely to be much
worn this spring and an important ac-
cessOry in the smart woman's ward
robes, since the neckwear counters in
most shops show them in most tempt
ing cut and color.
The fact is, notes fashion writer,
owing to the wool shortage that makes
necessary a curtailing of the amount
of fabric in the woolen suit for spring,
the Elton coat and other types of short
coat are coming in with vengeance.
And the waistcoat that extends below
the coat in front will help to piece out
this stubby little coat. +
Clever women will find an excellent
way of remodeling last years suit by
shortening the coat-or having tailor
do so for them-and Frightening it and
rejuvenating it by adding a waistcoat.
The daily morning oasis., 1918-03-19

Cornaower blue, deep pink plaids,
checks and touches of crimson are
worn. None of these facts is new
to those who have watched the prog
ress of fashions since Christmas.
The Fashions in France.
In Paris, the buyers have not found
any astounding inspirations, but they
have been faced with enough that is
new to realize that they can make
persuasive appeal to women in the
spring. They also know that the sill
1ouette has been definitely changed.
Skirts are exceedingly narrow at
the hem and tucked under, to resemble
zouave trousers; panels. of tulle and

SURPLICE JACKET A NEW ONE
Coat Is Already in america, but France
Is Sending Over Various Appll-
cations of the One Idea.

Cheruit is showing short jackets
with fronts cut into long ends that
cross below the bust, slip through
slashes in the underarm seams and
come out again to tie at the back. This
coat is already in America, accordingl
to fashion writer, but France is send
ing over, later, dozen or more appli-l
cations of the one idea.
There are short zouave jackets with
ends that do not go through any slashes
in the underarm seams, but frankly
form girdle and tie in a fiat bow at
the back of the waist. If this jacket is
of dark blue serge or gaberdine, as it
frequently is, it has these ends tipped
with bright scarlet broadcloth or An
CORA cloth, to match the short, military
collar taken from the English uniform.
Angora cloth is used by France on
the best coat suits. A piece of time
worn sweater, for instance, would pro-
vide an attractive accessory on a new
suit under the ruling of this law.
Girdles are made of this Angora
cloth, as well as cuffs, and some short
coats are edged with band of it. In
green, scarlet and blue, it is exceed
ingly popular. -
Writing of sweaters, the newest one
brought from France is made from
baby ribbon in bright cOlors. 1t is the
top notch conservation sweater. Not
an INCH of worsted is used. France
has launched it as the successful nov
city of the season, and it bids fair to
catch the popular American taste, just
as did those knitted silk sweaters and
caps that were launched by Chanel In
Deauville the summer before the war.

brown corded silk, and bound at the
edges with narrow ribbon of the same
color. 1t is lined with sateen, and
tapes are sewn on at the corners where
indicated.
The space enclosed in the dotted line
should correspond in size with the sur
face of the seat of the chair, and the
flaps should be large enough to entire
ly cover the sides. 1t is a good plan
prior to cutting out the material to cut
out rough paper pattern from news
paper and fit it over the chair.
The design which appears upon the
cover consists of blossoms worked in
various shades of pale pink, separated
with leaves worked in various shades
of green.

FASHION FLASHLIGHTS

Chainette embroidery is a favored
ornamentation for Palm Beach suits.
Smart wraps are actually being made
of jersey cloth.
Rather stiff ornaments are used on
the new millinery.
Dull and brilliant black are COM
bined in smart frocks. s's'
Poinsettia scarlet is one Of the
shades used for children.
1t is to be season of sport clothes
for young women.
Pompadour silks for evening are
made up with tight skirts.
Drapery seems to be the order of the
latest spring fashions.
There is an epidemic of waistcoats.
Pique, broche, tussah or satin may be
the fabric.
Foulards and silk ginghams are COM
ing to the front of the spring dress
ranks.
"Swat the brim!" appears to be. the
Slogan of the designers of spring milli-
merry.
Twine is used to form some rather
marvellous florette decorations for sport
hats.
Remember the dotted swiss you wore
when little girl? You can wear it
again this year-the material, we
mean. -
Paris reports the sudden popularity
of long chains of colored beads. The
rule is twice around the neck and then
a couple of yards.
Straw knitting bags to match hats
are tagging along with the spring dress
items, but they are not likely to stimu-
late the circulation of feI:as:a.

Popular Sweaters.

1t is predicted that the coming sum-
mer will again be a season of sweat
ers. There is such great variety now
that one cannot be really well dressed
and own only one or two. They
range from the short hand-knitted kind
to the long silk ard fiber silk ones,
and in all colors. Sweaters may have
sleeves or be sleeveless, and it is
thought that they will eventually take
the place of the slip-over sports blouse.
The daily morning oasis., 1918-03-19


hips are not fitted to the figure, un-
less by one of these Oriental girdles.
While all the skirts are slender,
they give no evidence of being
stingily cut, that is, they do not out
line the figure by the sheer result Of
scissors and seams. They show the
figure and attain attenuation by means
of drapery that is as difficult as it is
successful.
It is not an easy skirt for the anna
/. teur, for the bungler or for the tailor
who is used to the. hot iron, the
straight seam and the large needle.
The Kinds of Material Used.
Jersey cloth is lavishly shown by
every house in Paris. It has large
designs on it and sometimes it is bead
ed in circles and crescents.
The metal tissue with which we have
become so familiar, has. been replaced
by kind of Egyptian stuff that is
very effective. The simmer of it is
obtained by some process similar to
the one used on the ribbons of six
years ago.
The Thread Lace Dinner Gown.
The half decollete evening gown
continues as the dominant fashion.
We have not yet accepted it whole
heartedly in America, but a larger de-
gree of enthusiasm may be shown for
it when the informal social life of
spring and summer begins.
Black tulle, thread lace and lace
flounces are constantly shown to the
American buyers in the new evening
gowns. The black tulle is embroider-
ed with roses and large, conspicuous
designs formed Of silk thread and
beads. ia
Thread lace is revived in such
fashion that one believes it was taken
from the shelves of other years and
from the trunks of other decades.
Palm Beach has already started to
wear Chantilly lace, and it is more
than probable that America will go
in for lace season.
The dressmakers do not care for this
fashion as much as one would expect,
for they have to deal with the diff
cult problem of using their best Gus
toners old 1aces. 1t is not a task
for a civil engineer to make flOunces
into modern clothes, but such an eX-
pert seems to be necessary when one
is asked to turn berthas, old lace
frocks, scarfs and dolmans into
gown that is as modern as tomorrow.
The moment one suggests fiounces,
the average mind gets quick vision
of fullness, of skirts that flare but
this vision should be instantly eclipsed
by another which shows that every
thing is scanty and nothing allowed
to flare.
When lace flounces are used today
they are put over slim foundations,
and they may soften a harsh out
line, but do not contribute much to it's
width.
Black tulle gowns have these thread
lace founces on them and they are
draped over excessivel. narrow forms
of black satin, and if there is any ten
dency on the part of the lace to fling
itself out in defiance of the new sill
houette it is promptly suppressed by
a band of jet or embroidery which
tucks it under the hem of the lower
skirt and keeps it in order.

If this model is sample of the
next seasons trend in hats, it Is pretty
certain that conservation of materials
is not going to apply to hats. The de-
signers don't care how large they make
their creations, and if all their results
will turn out as pretty as this charm
ing hat, few will wish to curtaH them.
Though designed for spring, this ex-
quisite hat is just the thing for those
who intend to spend the rest of the
winter far below the Mason-D Dixon fine.
1t is of black and white voiIe, with a
brim of black straw.

exceptionally valuable going over, but
there still seems to be much room
coming back, and the buyers have
learned to bring great quantities of
clothes into the port "s personal bag
gage, which helps matters.
Callot will not allow this, and, there
fore, the clothes from that house do
rot arrive until after most of the sea-
sonal fashions are settled in this coun-
try.
So, what Palm Beach is doing, we
know. The gown there shows the
slender silhouette, prevalence OF
black and white worn separately or
together, the second introduction of
gingham and the experiment with the
calico OF the Southern mills.
There is no return to lingerie gowns,
as was family promised, but there is
an overwhelming vote cast for jersey
IN its artificial silk weave as well as
the thin woolen weave that looks like
mems underwear.
