New York City.-From Paris comes
the news that the latest of the de-
signs have a tendency to accentuate
the hip-line. As is always the case
when a new style is inaugurated. the
first of the models are shown in their
most exaggerated forms.
My personal opinion is that hips
will be an effect only: that the slen-
der figure will remain as we now have
it, or nearly so. the effect OF hips be-
ing given by fullness. bouffant dra-
peries and designing.
However, the designing to bring out
the hips Is noticeable in many Of the
spring garments. Take the model H.
lustrated today. for instance. where
the pieces Of the material which form
the pockets are set on. at the hip
line Were it not for this, the frock
would be a straight line affair.
This dress Is made of light weight
jersey in walnut. navy. grey and
brown. The narrow collar and cuffs
are Of a contrasting color OF Jersey.

will be quite as suitable for an in
formal afternoon dress for the mis-
tress of a home as for a business girl
in an Office. The only thing about
the dress that will need occasional
laundering is the white detachable
collar. Also its lines are so simple
that it will not muss easily. which
will mean much to you with three
little people who undoubtedly find
