IN the minds of those who have au-
thority: All skirts will be heightened
rs the season advances under the in
ftuence Of this new skirt. Women are
already ripping out hens or adding
new hens Of another material to skirts
they are renovating.
This is wise thing for n woman to
remember II she is in the throes of
altering frocks that will maintain her
WARDROBE in good style until the actual
cold weather demands warmer ma
terials. Don't let her be misled by the
fact that the majority of women's
clothes worn and sold to-day have
short skirts. All the betting on the
racetrack OF fashion is against their
winning. 1t is far wiser to renovate a
Ssiirt for the future than for the pres
ent If one considers the gown worth
the price OF money and vitality that
clever renovation requires.
The first question that a woman
asks when she is told that the long,
pull back skirt and the tight basque
are arriving concerns the best hat
that will go with such a silhouette.
The answer to her question depends
on the nature OF the place where she
shops. 1t is probable that the in
formation will be given her that the

BY the way, duplication is a strong

would be aghast at the knowledge that
certain fashionable women arc leading
the way to having five gowns made
for an entire season exactly alike and
five hats to, go with them exactly
alike.
The dressmakers have become ac-
customed to this innovation during the
last six months and they are now
quite used to 1t in the preparation OF
an autumn wardrobe. A woman comes
in, selects an entire costume with care
and attention to every detail. then
orders as many as she needs for the
season in different materials, weights
and colors. One woman even ordered
her four evening gowns made exactly
alike, merely changing the color.

Then, when the war broke, some of
this machinery for looking after the

that they had to go back TO the ways
of earlier days, II they would care for
their property while their men went to

Also work became fashionable as

milliners have amassed vast variety
OF head coverings, and that she can
take her choice but if she definitely
insists upon what Is new she will be
told by those who know that the
striking novelty is the revival OF a
mans hat that has won a picturesque
place for itself through several CEN
turtles of usage.
Once it was called the Musketeer,
because of its upturned brim and its
long feather; to-day it is called the
Amaze. Between the two Classes of
fighters there is no difference, except
the progress of time. They fight with
much the same principle to guide
them, and both fight for the honor and
safety of France.
Possibly the Anzac never thought OF

caught up the brm at the side. He
did not stick feather in his hat. The

Slumbering forces, with outbreaks at

volts, and the overturning of a condi-
ton Is called a revolution.
So II is with fashions. Thousands
of women will call the Introduction of

across the knees, a revolution: but
American designers brought 1t into
fashion year ago and 1t was not az

women took II up and insisted upon II
as their mode of costume, and in
August these women had many fol-
lowers. Still the shops id not show
gowns which had these skirts. The
tailors did not offer them, for they
did not know how to male them, and
they probably will always leave that

Of the storm that is about to burst
when fashion writer's and designers
say to the public that the lines of
women's clothes have changed, which
means that womens wardrobes must
change IL they remain in the picture
Of the hour.
When We are in the throes of con-
servation and economy, the idea of a
new silhouette Is not altogether pleas
ing. 1t is snatched up with avidity by
those who sell apparel, for they know
IL is a lure to the purse. But 1t is
also snatched UP by orators, the re-
formers, and thousands who ask
women not to change the style of their
clothes during the war. These do not
snatch 1t up with avidity but jump
upon 1t and try to crush It by argu-
mont and vituperation.

Therefore, II the new silhouette is
here. and II women will accept it by
the thousands. it is far better to face
It than to ignore it; 1t is wiser to
realize that 1t must be managed on a
basis of economy and conservation.

tones Of the Administration, asking
that our materials be spared by civil
fans because It is needed for the fight

There is the sealskin sack, and cuffs

ing attitude of America toward all
restrictions during this war. The ma
jority OF women feel and it seems that
that feeling is right. that IL they do
not encroach upon the fabrics and
workers needed by the Government
they can have as many new costumes
ms they wish. on whatever lines they
please. They argue that the new
silhouette holds no one who is en-
gagged, directly or indirectly. in war
fare.
Many Women Must sew.
There are those who say that women
should not be asked to sew when they
can go into Government employ, but
the answer to that is that there are
hundreds of women who cannot go into
munition and other factories, and
whose living depends upon retaining
their trade in sewing. AS long as there
are plenty OF these women. and as long
as they must be supported. the coun-
try will support them. We have al
ready advanced far away from the
idea of disorganizing all business in
order that non-essentials shall be dis
continued. 1t was only natural that
during the first year Of the war we
should have been extremists; to-day
we have settled down into a good long
fight, and much of the ballast that we
threw overheard In the beginning. in a
panic of patriotism, is found to be
necessary to the steadiness Of the Ship
Of Life.
Now, what is this new silhouette?
The fundamental fact in the sill
houette is that skirts sweep the ankles
and heels. To many women this Is the
fundamental fact, but to the designers

America. Women of all ranks from
queens down wore aprons in Europe.
The brilliant holiday affairs of the
peasants were copied by those in pal
aces. When a woman did fancy work
she wore a fancy apron.
Now Part of the Gown.
The designers drought that these
ornamental aprons would return as
aprons: but they have not. They
have come back as part of a gown, at
tached to it and worn without any
thought of service or protection.
What the other women of those
dear dead days would have thought
of overalls and chauffeurs' uniforms
for gentlewomen going about their
work is point on which only the
psychologist can inform us; but judg-
ing from the wild and mad caprices in
which the women of other centuries
have INDUCED. the fashion writer has
an idea that such costumery would
have tickled them nightly and would
have been worn by them with all the
glee of children. They merely didn't
think of it. Chauffeurs and aviators
did not exist.
There is an old, authentic sketch OF
1913 of a French woman raking her
garden in the proper war time cos
tune when France also had to have
all the food that could be produced.
Any woman who wore as utterly alb
surd a costume as that garden one
would have been entranced with over
alls.
The costume is described under this
old sketch as a gown Of percale with
high CATERS Of nankin and a Chinese
