New York.-It is long cry from
Henry III to Cromwell, but fashion
jumps that length In seven-leagued
boots and regards 1t as trifie. Fash
ion, indeed. asserts fashion critic,
places the two periods of the worlds
history together without apology. She
takes bit from one and a slice from
the other, and calls 1t frock.
History has been ransacked for three
years for inspiration, strange to re-
cord, when one realizes that few
decades from now fashion will proba-
bly, start In to register the impress
sions of these days, and throughout
all the ages to come, If there are such
things as fashions for women, those
who build them will go to this era of
world-war as an aid to jaded brains.
Possibly Napoleon was sufficiently an
egotist to foresee that the period he
created in the worlds progress would
last the fashion designers mt least an
hundred years, as It has done, but he
might have been startled at the fact

STYLES Go Back
To Early Dates

ian, is the sleeveless blouse, or short
tunic that our shops sell as casually
as they once did the American shirt
waist. These, also, were battlemented
at the hem, while ours are not. but
they also showed the full sleeves of
the shirt beneath. In those days the
man chose the undershirt In broad
yellow and red-barred stripes.
As we wear this other coat, the bat
tlemented one with long sleeves, fas-
tened at the neck, but not below, the
effect is good. 1t provides variant
from the accepted styles of jackets. 1t
Is beltless, which Is a fashion the
French designers are striving hard to
establish. The slim lines Of this coat
keep the widths from awkwardness
and the small armholes aid the clean
cut look.
Sinuous Hips Of the Orient.
1t may be a happy fact one that
gives cause for rejoicing that design
ers have no objection to "bunching''
the countries when 1t comes to fash
ions. To put the oriental hip drapery

might be their motto and they gos on
making sartorial Tower Of Babel, for
IL costume could speak, this Is what
would happen in any representative
gathering. The Orient is always too
seductive, too easy of imitation. to
escape constant usage; there may
have been periods in social history
when IL would not have been possi-
BILE to persuade well-placed women to
appear in the clothes Of the Temple
girls and those of the Bazaars, but we
don't happen to belong to one of them.
We have stopped at some things in
the last six years, but we have gone
far, very far.
Sedateness has entered into costum-
cry during the last two years, but now
we may see a return to license In cos
tumery that may make pre-war FASH
ions appear ancmic. Let us hope that
Joy won't be too unconflned.
II there is pleasing sedateness
with freedom from occurrences and
drabness, then we will see good cos
tunes. Already there is a gracious
way of employing orientalism which
cannot be objected to by conserva-
tives, even in the hip drapery whose
swathings are the sign and symbol OF
the Eastern dancers.
There Is tendency to combine coll
ored satin with black thread lace in
the oriental frocks, which takes away
the suggestion of the East except i'm
the swirl of fabric that goes about the
hips.
The Square Figure.
These are minor changes, however
important they may be to the mass Of
women who have no intention Of
swinging their clothes into every pro-
cession that passes, In comparison to
the subtle transformation going on in
the contour of the figure. 1t is get
ting square. If it succeeds there is
another blue ribbon of victory to the
house of Callot who moves along

None Of the designers have gotten
very far away from the Napoleonic
tion was drawn from every source dur
ing the reign of this one man, and that
1t would be difficult to find something
which had been omitted. Very true.
We Turn to England.
There was once a time, In the be-
ginning of the Consulate, when fash
ion in Paris was turned toward the
ancient enemy across the channel and
borrowed ideas for dress. This was
done in spirit Of perversity by GER
tain sections of society; but the Paris
designers now turn there In differ
and friendliness, and instead of look
ing among present fashions for inspira-
tion, knowing full well by practical
evidence that they are Partisan, she
has gone back to British history.
Later she may remember Mesopotamia
and Palestine, and linking them to
Allenby and Marshall, swirl back to
Holy Land costumery.
At the moment she Is interested in
eras of which she has thought little
and cared less. 1t seems strange
thing that the temperamental design
ers Of Paris, on whom the world de-
pends for the movement of the season
in clothes, should revive the fashions
Of Cromwell. Curious juxtaposition of
ideas. None has ever arisen in French
history who could be likened to this
Puritan, and we may find the reason
for this singular recrudescence in the
pleasant fact that Cromwell was sand
wiched between two Charleses whose
frivolity Is historically foreign to Paris.

the revival of those fashions which
were adopted before the word had
any significance when Henry / was
king Of England. In looking over a
book of old costumery the similarity
shown between the frocks of then and
and is startling. And this is all the fur
ther we have gone in dress, is the ex-
clamation that comes first.
Those were severe fashions when
Cromwell interrupted the pleasure-lov-
Ing Stuarts. Some one has said that
when Charles III came to the throne
England with a sigh of relief laid
aside her hair shirt to show that she
wore silk one beneath.
