TO Women
FRANCE RETAINS THE CHEMISE FROCK.

lost heavily throughout the war and
who received an almist killing blow
during the influenza epidemic, are try
ing to pay their debts and refill their
Golfers by catering to the new and
spirited demand for clothes.
America has done much in design
ing She has gone far. She has Gre
ated intense admiration for herself
among her own people. But with all
these acknowledged conditions she
realizes that France is the inspira-
tional source. She knows that France
will have her postwar exhibition OF
clothes in February She is on the
tiptoe of expectation as TO what Paris
will do. She is not as fearful of her
own success as she was before she
made the long skirt the fashion
against Paris short one; but she
realizes that March may bring an en-
tireIy new line of clothes which the
public will. demand and the dress
makes and shops must supply.
Now, the reporter of fashions Is be-
ing ground between these two stones.
What is said today may be wrong to-
morrow; what is right tonight may be
a fatal mistake in a few days. One
must not only tell the things that are
being worn, but forecast the things
that will be worn.

Skirts Will Remain Long.

We know a few things. and on these
we must base most of our conclusions,
The first is that the American people
will not buy advance spring fashions
in any great quantities until the first
Of April and that whatever comes in
the way of novelties between now and
then may be encountered by pleasant
speculation.
We know that the chemise frock
holds it's own in Paris, as i'll America,
and we receive cables saying that
Paris is adopting the long skirt. One
of the fashion correspondents who
lives in Paris and evidently has not
been in America for some time, naive
iy asks how America Will take this new
fashion which France will exploit in
the spring. If cables weren't so expen-
sive one would like to send back the
answer that America likes them very
well. thank you, seeing that she origi-
mated them last August and has stuck
to them against the verdict of Paris.
That's always the difficulty with fash
ion articles written from Paris by
those who remain there for years at a
time and therefore have only the hazi-
est notions of what we are doing in
this country. ...--.

The Tunic Still With Us.

We also know that as far as the
majority of well dressed women are
concerned the tunic remains in fash
ion. 1t is short and long, thin and
thick. embroidered and plain. And
yet certain American designers. will
have nothing to do with it and insist
that only the .draped skirt is smart.
That gives women two wide paths
to follow. France sticks to the tunic.
America takes all kinds of adventur-
Gus filings with the draped skirt and
sometimes with the highwaisted di-
rectoire effect. One of the most cele-
brated designers in America insists
upon the directoire waist line and
holds to the oriental movement of
lifting the skirt in front instead of in
back; but all of them make the tunic
in some fashion or other for those
who like it.
The sketch shows a long tunic of
black chiffon embroidered in the
bright blue of the French flag. 1t is
edged with black monkey fur. The
underslip is Of black taffeta draped
in such a way that it winds about the
feet. like pair of trousers. There is
a girdle of taffeta at the high waist
line fastened with bead flowers. and
the simple bodice is one which many
of the greatest dressmakers indorse;
it has round neck, short sleeves and
little fulineSS.
