Of the 1880 period-and many Of them
absolutely sleeveless-the question is
not altogether how we are going to

We here in this country are In the
very thick of the semi-annual discus
sion Of the silhouette-the length of
skirts, the depth and outline Of the
decolletage and how we shall trim or
untrlm our hats. Paris has had her
openings, and our American buyers
have returned, bringing to US the best
models from the varied collections
shown by the great French houses.

try like simple models. Then, too. the
exorbitant prices charged by the
French dressmakers made the purchas-

the poilus Of France are returning to
work. The looms at Lyons and st.

new weaves Of silks and other fabrics

world.
The Short Skirt Advances.
At this moment there Is with US q
great uncertainty about the length OF
skirts. The dictum Of Paris is for
short ones; very short ones. All the
French houses stand sponsor to them
and we in America believe that the
short skirt is advancing upon us again
-stealthily, step by step-although Its
ultimate fate here still hesitantly
hangs in the balance. One Of the
i most difficult clothes questions we have
to settle is what compromise shall we
make between the skirt measuring
from IL to 18 inches from the floor

the long skirt Of purely American
origin. There Is no doubt about 1t
