The sketch shows combination OF
two Of the most fashionable fabrics Of
the spring. The skirt is short and
narrow with a white matelasse hem
and panel at the side. The bodice Is
slim In outline, with long sleeves, and
shows a slightly low, slender vest of
the matelasse held in by two girdles
of black satin.
Poiret. who has n devotional attitude
toward anything that comes out OF
the East, used the skirt throughout his
years of success.
Cheruit adopted 1t in modified
manner half dozen years ago. Jenny
took it up about two winters ago and
accentuated 1t in her popular cos
tunes in such manner that America
grew more weary of it through this
channel than any other. Somehow,
ms Jenny made it. 1t did not SAVIOR OF
the East. 1t was merely awkward
and extremely girlish.

the American public looked with 6

New York.-The persistence shown
by France in the dressmaking houses
in continuing certain trick for sew
eral years, deserves more attention
than is usually accredited 1t, writes
Aime Rlttenhouse.
A study of the obstinate way in
which Paris designers have held on
TO a thing they liked might go far
toward convincing vast number of
the critics of womens apparel that
fashions are not as flighty as they
seem. The weather vaue turns, 1t Is
true, but 1t swirls back into the same
quarter so frequently that at times
there is feeling that it changes little.
The American shops, it is claimed,
constantly convince their patrons that
an old gown must be replaced by
new one by showing a revolution IN
silhouette.
We have millions of women to
dress, where France has thousands,
and we have q population that is quite
capable Of indulging in its desire for
new clothes from the rim of the arc
tic circle to a line above the tropics.
1t Is a well-known fact that the
American buyers who go to Paris to
get new clothes often refuse lovely
gowns if they bear a close kinship to
those that We're sold the year before.
They wave such frocks away with the
remark that American women must
have novelty.
This act has always depressed the
designers in Paris, who care for
beauty and detail rather than for
startling changes, and it is the French
designers who say that they rack
their brains for eccentricitieS to give
to America far more than they would
If their clientele were only Rome,
Paris and London.
1t is this underlying trait in the
French dressmakers that gives them
the desire to persist in certain line
which IS coming back to the orig
inal discussion.
Now the Zouave Skirt
This line happens to be, at the pres
ent moment, that tucked-in effect ut
the hem of the skirt. which Is sugges-
tive of the trousers, of the Algerian
troops.
Nobody would remember, probably,
the exact date of the beginning of
This idea, but it was evolved long be-
fore the war. 1t has been brought
out in various kinds of skirts.
The house of Cabot was probably
the first to bring out the idea In n
narrow skirt but it did not take.

among certain houses that establish
fashions.
The first French gowns that come
over show it; the American dress
makers who are preparing for Il brisk
spring trade speak of it as a power
fur factor in the shaping Of the new
fashions. And the Interesting part Of
1t is that it entirely changes the sill

This seems to be In contrast with
the stated fact that France is persist
ent In certain things and maintains
certain line for longer period Of
time than America The truth is that
France persists with u trick. hut
changes the silhouette aud still uses
the trick. and that is what She has
done in the new Algerian skirt.
II is difficult TO say whether the
trousers of the French troops in Al
friers give the clev to This new skirt
or whether il was the entire array Of
men in hagcy trousers which curve in
