one would Stiil nnu tnat tne Olu
clothes would do. But the new long
skirt Is draped; 1t Is draped upwurd
at the back, and 1t is very, very slen-
der in its outline.
You can easily see that such skirt
will influence the bodice and the
waistllne. One cannot wear tunlcs
over draped skirts. One cannot wenr
oriental sashes at the hip-line over
draped skirts, as they did In 1880.
There Is SO much that must go by
the board With skirt that Is grace.
full revival of the old "pull-back,"
which was held In place by short,
strong elastics placed in the back
widths of the skirt to pull 1t tight
across the front Of the figure.
The normal waistllne will undoubt.
eddy come In with the draped skirt;
or the basque. with Its pointed front
fastened In straight line up to the
collar-bone, may be revived. The
corselet bodice is another garment that
Is possible. az 1t needs a straight line
beneath 1t to keep the silhouette In
harmony. 1t Is said that wide dolman
sleeves will be revived with these long
draped skirts, as well as fiat lace col
lars resting securely against the tight
fitting neckllne.
All In the Future.
One thing, however. is quite certain
In the minds of those who have au-
thority: All skirts will be heightened
as the season advances under the in
fluence Of this new skirt. Women are
already ripping out hens or adding
new hens of other material to skirts
they arc renovating.
This Is a wise thing for woman to
remember II she is in the throes Of
altering frocks that will maintain her
wardrobe in good style until the actu-
nj 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 today have
short skirts. All the betting on the
racetrack of fashion Is against their
winning. II Is far wiser to renovate
skirt foi the future than for the
present, IL one considers the gown
worth the price of money and vitality
that clever renovation requires.
Speaking Of Skirts, What About Hats7
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 silhouette.
The answer to her question depends
on the nature Of the place where she
shops. It is probable that the infor-
nation will be given her that the mill
liners have amassed vast variety OF
head coverings, and that she can take
her choice; but II she definitely insists
upon what Is new, she will be told by
those who know that the striking
novelty is the revival of q mans hat
that has won a picturesque place for
itself through several centuries Of
usage.
Once 1t was called the Musketeer,
because Of its upturned brim and Its
long feather; today 1t is called the
Anzac. 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
snfety Of France.
Today the Anzac lat comes into high
fashion, and at the hour of the Aus
tralian fighters distinction.
1t is made of white, gray, black and
mauve felt. Sometimes 1t has an in
sigma of no Importance as method
of fastening up the brim to the crown.
and again 1t has thick, curling o.
trich feather. 1t is the latter trir =
ming that Is added to the felt hat
when the costume Is slim, draped
frock that reaches from collar-bone to
tips of toes.
