The New Fashions.

Some people have such an odd way
of looking at the new fashions. The
other day when they read in cable
dispatches from Paris that some of
the new decol1etes-and the extreme
decollete has come as reaction
against the wartime ban against any
low necks in the evening whatever
extended not only to the waist line in
few inches below the waist line, they
Immediately pictured to themselves
womankind in general in the evening
robed in frocks showing this dorsal
baroness.
And when they read that some
American importers feel convinced
that we Will have to adopt the Paris
skirt that terminates midway between
the ankle and knee, they fairly shiv-
cred in anticipation. For you see these
people forget that whether or not We
follow the fashion is entirely a mat
ter Of our own volition, and that aft
er all the percentage of women who
follow the extremes Of fashion is eX-
tremely small. They are always read
ing about the new extremes. and
extreme they seem to think that this
one Is the one that every one is going
to adopt. incidentally convincing
themselves that things are coming to
a very DaQ state OF aHalrS.
The men and women who run the
shops selling womens clothes are
feeling the need more than ever of
carrying on hand frocks and dress
accessories of a high-cla sort that
are not in any way extreme. RealZ-
ing that there are women of good
taste and women who spend time and
money on their clothes who never
theless do not wish to ''go in for" any
of the extremes. they manage to have
on hand always models of less ex-
treme type than the one depicted in
the fashion magazines.
SO don't convince yourself that you
SIMPLY can't get anything but very
tight skirt" For if you shopped
around you would find some that were
wide enough to suit you. And don't
try and convince other people that
the reason you wear those uncom-
Portable pointed shoes is because that
is the only kind you can buy. True
it is sometimes hard to get the sort
OF shoe you want in the first shop
you try, but there are moderate-toed
shoes to be found.

|, brated walk in the Bois was filled
with the black and blue taffeta frocks
that present themselves today as
peace gowns.
1t is difficult for those OF US who
have been back to France during the
war to believe that those days were
not a dream; that they may return in
greater splendor, it is true. but surely
the world can never be exactly the
same again. France, and especially
Paris, has the happiest faculty in the
world, however, of instant rejuvena-
ton. She springs eternally from every
sorrow and each tragedy into smiling
youth. She has not done this so far.
for she is not quite sure of what kind
of peace she will have, and the terri
BILE strain on her resources is shown
in the sadness and the shabbiness of
her streets, her avenues and the Bois
And yet in those laughing days that
preceded the war and in those calm
days that have followed the war the

The Skirt With Drapery.

France used taffeta then, and she
uses it now. She made very tight
skirts with drapery in March, 1914,
and bodices that left the neck exposed
in wide spaces and the front of the
figure covered with exquisite lingerie.
Glimpsing through the new clothes
that have arrived in this country,
there is the same idea running through
them as prevailed then.
The skirts are not alike in their
drapery. There is some tendency
toward the manipulate of fabric on
the hips to resemble a pannier, but
there is a stronger inclination toward
panels. These straight pieces falling
down over the skirt are part OF the
whole movement toward the dtrectoire
fashion.
One of the great houses in France
insists upon the single straight panel
down the back of the skirt, which is
joined to a somewhat high waist line
on the bodice or short Jacket, but the
designers. moving away from the ac-
tual copy of a directoire fashion, take
up the straight-hanging panel as
strong feature of skirt drapery.
This is good news to the woman
who chose gowns year ago Whlch
had panels at the side or one at the
back If she continues to be econom-
ical, and finds the gown in good con-
dition, she may continue to wear 1t
without feeling that she is back
number.
The Lingerie Vest.
In fact, early in spring of 1914
women decked themselves out, under
the guidance of Paris designers, with
vests and collars. low and high, of
lace, tulle, net and embroidered ba-
tiste This spring. five years later,
they will adopt the same fashion. The
new gowns not only have collars and
vests of lingerie fabrics. but entire
waistcoats that reach well below the
waist line. These accessories were
introduced last autumn, SO they are
not new, but they advanced timidly
into the fashions at that time. where
as today they come out boldly and
challenge popularity.
The sketch shows a new dark blue
taffeta frock which embodies the lin
gerie vest and the panels on the skirt.
1t differs from the taffeta frocks of
1914 in it's short sleeves. This is the
fashion that was introduced by the
French designers as a tribute to the
munition workers.

for him to go through, but this didn't
work him in the least He would
simply use his great teeth and gnaw
