GOWNS SHOW AN
i ALGERIAN SKIRT

New York.-The persistence shown
by France in the d~ressmaking houses
In continuing a certain trick for sew
eral years, deserves more attention
than is usually accredited 1t, writes
Anne Rittenhouse.
A study of the obstinate way in
which Paris designers have held on
to a thing they liked might go far
toward convincing q vast number of
the critics Of women's apparel that
fashions are not as Eighty as they
seem. The weather yane turns, it is
true, but 1t swirls back into the same
quarter so frequently that at times
there is a feeling that 1t changes little.
The American shops, 1t is claimed,
constantly convince their patrons that
an old gown must be replaced by a
new n by showing a revolution in
silhouette.
We have millions of women to
dress, where France has thousands,
and we have a population that is quite
capable of INDUCING in it's 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 q close kinshlp to
those that were 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 a 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 at
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 Callot was probably
the first to bring out the idea in a
narrow skirt, but it did not take.

that America does not want that
loose. overfull skirt with its ungrace-
full line about the ankles? Debu-
tantes and young girls continued to
dance In this kind of skirt wherever
the fddles sounded, but women of
more mature years dismissed it as a
fashion from the start.
Now, here it is again, not only here,
but very much accentuated and ac-

among certain houses that establish
fashions.
The first French gowns that come
over show it; the American dress
makers who are preparing for q brisk
spring trade speak of II &c power
FUR factor in the shaping of the new
fashions. And the interesting part of
it is that it entirely changes the sill
houette.
This seems to be in contrast with
the stated fact that France is persist
ent in certain things and maintains
a certain line for a longer period of
time than America. The truth is that
France persists with q trick, bat
changes. the silhouette and still uses
the trick. and that is what she has
done in the new Algerian skirt.
1t is difficult to say whether the
trousers of the French troops in AL
giers give the clew to this new skirt
or whether it was the entire array of
men in baggy trousers which curve in
below the knees to fit the legs.
Here Is the silhouette.
The waist is normally large, the line
down the hips is either straight or
slightly bullying through the fullness
of the material, and the hem is exceed
ingly narrow and tucked under. A
woman wearing the most fashionable
of these skirts, with high boots added
~thereunto, will look at a slight dis
lance as though she wore baggy trou-
sers and army boots.
To the majority of women this news
may not be welcome. They will fancy
u far more sensational garment thar
3hat actually exists. That mild rev.
olution against the sheath and the
hohble skirt may also crop up against
this Algerian skirt, but both the other
features Of fashion were incorporated
in our ordinary apparel after a while,
without creating disturbance.
There is so little fullness in this
new skirt that 1t does not seem to be
even a first cousin to the skirt pl
Jenny with its tucked-up hem. That
skirt, which pervaded the continent
for two years. had n tendency to fare
out, to fling itself away from the
ankles; this skirt goes In SO rapidly
from knees to hem that 1t does not
need to undergo the same Treatment
that was accorded the other skirt.
For instance, to be t~e.anical-the
fullness at its hem is nc. caught up
and gathered to a short. narrow lin
ing. This is not considered necessary.
1t is merely turned under and run
into the conventional hem, allowing
its fullness, slight os it IL, to fall
against the shoetops and accentuate
the trousered effect.
This extreme skirt has brought
about the narrowcst silhouette we
have had in years When the hem IL
not tucked under. 1t is only wide
enough to provide free movement in
walking. The skirts are necessarily
short. for their narrowness would
greatly impede progress r. they were
