Post Bellum Fashions

The French ONE have taken up
the simplicity of the Directoire in alb
a%ndoning corsets, in returning to
round garters to keep up the stock
ings, to chemises of crepe de chine,
I then a frock which has no fasten-
ing but winds about the hips and ties
with a sash.
France wears these gowns six in
ches below the knees. America wears
them six or eight inches above the
floor.
And they are becoming shorter and
| shorter each week, so that they may
be almost to the knees before long.
The conservatives do not adopt the
short skirt, but the fashionable wo-
men are divided between long skirts
for evening and short ones for the
street and the country.
Whatever else is worn, the sheath
skirt is abandoned; but the hem re-
mains limited and rather light on all
skirts.
one is constrained to believe, there
the apparel of the Directoire has gain
ed more of a foothoId than the public
knows.
This does not mean that the con-
| tour Of Directoire frocks has been al
| together accepted; it means that the
idea is here and it prevails.
This idea is one of extreme simpli-
city, an almost total disregard of the
various methods by which a woman's
| body is encased or turned from it's
natural lines, or protected.
Whatever is combining has been alb
andoned. Whatever is restraining has
been thrown to the winds.
Corset Nov Passe
The corset has gone out OF fashion
far more rapidly in this country than
the conservatives will believe, and it
is especially disappearing in every
city among the fashionable set who
have taken up the cult of acrobatics.
OF course, the stout, the heavy and
thu middle aged should not ven think
of such methods of dress, but it is
astonishing how many m over 80
are pretending to be uncorseted and
how many have abandoned side elast-
les, trusting to the loose silk bloom
ers, with their elastic knee band, to
keep the stockings in place.
In fact, if the public wants to be
shocked, it is just as well for it to
know that stockings rolled V an
elastic at the calf of the leg are worn
by hundreds of the hest behaved wo-
men. They have abandoned long
stockings along with c%orsets, muslin
~underclothes, belts ar drills.
The Directoire idea was to put as
little as possible on the body, and ma
turally a good deal of indecency re-
suited. The idea of the hour is not
to permit indecency, but to go back
to all the Orientalism of dress, which
is, after all, the classic idea that slim
ulatcd the leaders of the D~irectoire.

BIBLES THAT ARE PRICELESS

The largest Bible in existence is in

covers are made of solid planks, four
inches thick, and the pages measure a

100 asses skins must have been used
to furnish the 500 parchment leaves of
this colossal book. 1t is considered
priceless.
