An Eastern paper shows up the

a shortage of print paper, such as
newspapers use in publishing

possibility that many newspapers
will have to suspend publication
for want of newsprint. The price
at present is as high as during the

city papers are in no danger, as
they maintain their own paper

AND WIDE SKIRT

Those who study styles closely look
upon the full overskirt gathered in at
the bottom as a forerunner Of wide
skirts, writes a New York fashion cor
respondent The silhouette has fol
lowed the straight and narrow way so
long that unless there is a change
fashions will become stagnant and
there will not be sufficient stimulation
to the art and industry of evolving
new clothes to keep it at its best. Nor
will we enjoy the exhiaration that
comes from the wearing of something
entirely new. The narrow silhouette,
as well as the wide. appears in collec-
tiOns created by the same designers,
and this is bound to fill us with uncer-
tainty in ordering our costumes.
At the house Of Cabot in Paris are
shown dresses of the fiaring Camargo
silhouette, their straight bell skirts
fairly bristling with frills cut 50 that
they stand out almost stifly, and in
jpXtapOstion 10 these there are Cal
lot gowns 50 slender in their lines that
Grecian draperies are wide compared
to them. Many women order both
types of frocks, but she who looks
into the future and buys her clothes
to predate a fashion will give consid-
Grafton TO the wider skirt.
Narrow and Wide at Same Time.
The new skirts puff out halfway
between the knee and the ankle. There
are several ways of creating this ef-
feet. which looks as though accom-
plished by means of a crinOline or a
cage. One is by a clever manipulation
of drapery; other times the bottom of
the Sunic is shirred to a heavy cord.
| There is always a tunic or Overskirt
cut to fare at the bottom, where it is
brought in to a tight, straight founda-
ton skirt. for fashion still insists that
skirts must be narrow at the ankle,
are above, they must decrease to a
mere band at the hem.
Taffeta is a favorite material for
these gowns, because the stiffness OF
the silk aids greatly in accomplishing
the desired bouffancy. One black tat.
feta frock is corded in an unusual
way. The cords take the form of hall
hoops, beginning at the bottom of the
skirt and curving upward toward the
waist. This silhouette aims to give ar
effect CT extreme fairness both in tn,
back aud front and puffiness at The
sides.

want to tell you about one other
dress that a Fifth avenue designer has
just made. 1t reminds one of a mer-
maid. The upper part is of iridescent
spangled silver cloth that Grapes
loosely around the body and low on
the hips. 1t CLEANS like a shiny body
that has just come out of the ocean
into the moonlight. The lower part is
black satin, which is very tight around
the ankles and creeps away into a
little fishtail train that undulates
along behind one.
Even the realm Of parasols has been
invaded by new materials. The same
feeling for the use of wintry fabrics
in this summers clothes that we have
seen noted in both hats and gowns is
expressed in parasols. Black velvet
frequently is used for them; these are
lined with thin sinks of contrasting
tone. blue being the color most often
used.
Ostrich Finds New Place for Plumage.
The French craze for the use of os-
trich feathers appears in parasols as
well as hats. Many Of these imported
| by American firms are of taffeta Dor
dered with ostrich. Others have the
three little Prince of Wales ostrich
tips placed at the end of each rib, and
still others have the ferrule encircled
with feathers.
Very lovely are Sunshades of old
fashioned chintz, such as might have
been used by the beauties of pre-revo-
lutionary days. These make charming
garden parasols.
The French always make their par
! ascls tub shape. but we in America do
not like these shapes as well as the
larger English ones. because they in
terfere with our headgear A tub
shaped parasol is made of old blue
georgette crepe over bright red taf-
feta and is outlined with red roses.
Both CloisOnne and Jade are used for
the handles of parasols. For the coun-
try there are some charming Japanese
umbrellas that are very short-much
shorter than the diminutive English
rain or shine umbrellas that we have
been using. They are almost like a
miniature parasol that may be tucked
under the arm when going out for a
morning walk.

Mellow Brown Comes Once More.
We have always thought of brown
as winter color Now it is being used
for our summer clothes, and used with
enchanting effect. A new shade of
brown. that very soft and mellow
brown tone seen in the roots of trees,
suggests hitherto unthOught-of color
