THE TRoUsERED SKIRT

The evening gowns which have been
ushered in with the advent of the social
season show draped skirts, any number
of them, but not any strong development
of a punched pannier on the hips.
The Oriental evening gown is in the
majority. The tall and the short, the
stout and the slim wear it. 1t is not
especially new. The American public has
been familiar with the trousered skirt for
half dozen years. They know all about
the seductiveness of the transparent bod
ice and the Opaque skirt with its tucked
under hem. They realize that both these
features of costume have arrived at
stage which is more suggestive OF Orient
aism than ever; 1t often covers little Of
the body, for its skirt has grown shorter
and its bodice has grown lower. Sleeves
have vanished. Armholes, finding them
selves without an occupation, have
quietly dropped out Not only is the arm
bare but the shoulder and half the back.
These, of course, are the extreme
gowns those that are worn by the stage,
at dances, by the young, and those whose
mission it is to draw attention to them
selves Yet, while these frocks stand for
the irreducible minimum in evening
clothes they accentuate the leading fash
ion in such a manner that many people
follow the path in a more modest man

EMBARGO ON COTTON
CAUSES CONGESTION
Warehouses in Birmingham
Packed and Railroad Yards
Crowded With Cars

Birmingham is enjoying the novelty Of
cotton congestion. The two warehouses
which also operate congresses are packed
to capacity, and the railroad yards are
crowded with cars loaded with cotton
consigned to them.
1t is estimated that there are approx
rately 5000 bales in the two warehouses
awaiting shipment and about 1000 bales
in cars in the railroad yards awaiting IN.
loading.
The railroads have declared an embargo
on cotton, and until the present conges-
ton is relieved it is said no more of the
fieecy staple will be accepted by them
for shipment to the Birmingham ware
houses and congresses.
Birmingham ordinarily handles $1,000
bales of cotton year although in 1917
and 1918 the number was considerably un-
der that on account of the short crops in
those years.
Warehousemen state that the old aver
age of $4,000 will probably be reached this
season, basing their estimates on the
amount that has already come to Bir-
mingham and that which is now in sight.

PLAYING UP BROCADEs

The early season started without bro
pailletted, Paris did not lay much
paille tied. Paris did not lay much
stress on brocade. Few gowns of it were
seen at the houses, and it was not worn
by the French women; but as the season
opens here, showing what the women
have chosen from the dressmakers' offer
ings, 1t is eveident that brocade is still to
be an American favorte.
One of the chief designers in New
York uses brocades for the tops of duye-
tyn gowns, and other designers use bro
cade for skirt that goes with tulle
bodice. BY common consent, the design
ers seem to prefer these brocade skirts
made in trousered effect. They are not
worn by women in the class called dow
ayers, but that class is a minority. There
is a vast array of young and youngish
womanhood who find the Oriental skirt
excessively becoming to a good lpoRsag
pair of ankles and feet. There is no
attempt to pull the hem in to tight pro-
portions. nor is there any tendency to
split the skirt at the sides and show the
curve of the leg, as is done in house
robes The most successful method is
to gather it at the waistline. pushing the
fullness into small groups that will give
it just the right swing at the hem, then
tuck up the hem in the middle of the
front ard back, leaving apertures for the
feet.
The sketch shows gown of this kind
which has the quaint appendage of a
train 1t might be the scarf of an east
ern dancer dropped from her shoulders
The material is blue and silver brocade
and the bodice is truly a girdle with
tight folds of tulle over lace at the top
one end of this tulle wraps around the
waist, passes through a large jeweled or
nament at one side and drops into a
train.
