short skirtcd FroclSs Youthful
No denying the fact that a woman
does look younger in a short sklrt-if
the whole costume has lines OF youth.
These very short frocks have TO be
distinctly girlish-not to say childfsh
in type or there would BE a
grotesque suggestion rather than a
saucy, dainty suggestion. So the new
frocks are very simple In line. Many
Of them are mere chemise. or klmono
models with little sleeves cut all In
one with a perfectly straight bodice.
And huge sashes lend the short
skirts much dash and style. Particu-
larly engaging Is the frock Of silk
crepe material with n crossbar Of pale
'an on brown background. The sash
Is Of very wide brown MORE ribbon
with brown and tan silk fringe OF
great depth on the sashends. A mere
trife OF fabric was needed for the
little frock. but a good deal OF very
expensive ribbon and fringe has gone
into the sash. Nevertheless. 4 IS the
huge sash that makes the little frock
so smart.
Another attractive frock in the
short-skirted style Is shown in the
model Of navy tricotine with big cir
cular motifs Of steel bead embroid-
cry. The sash IS Of navy MORE rib
bon. Navy blue silk stockings and
pretty little slippers Of gray suede
accompany this frock. and the fur
neckpiece OF gray fox adds charm to
the color scheme.

Most Extreme Modes Pictured

OF course. not all the skirts OF au-

on todays page. A few OF the mode
extreme models Of the new season
have been picked out-all OF them
however. very authoritative styles
from the best houses. And all Of
them styles that are being worn at
this moment In Paris. London and
New York-though one admits more
Of them are exploited in Paris than
In New York or London. But who
can tell what the winter season VIII
bring about. The very longest skirt
that is sanctioned by fashion Is about
ren inches from the ground. The pic
ture Of a tailored suit shows this
length. The dignihed lines OF the
jacket take away somewhat from the
jauntiness Of the skirt These very
long jackets. reaching almost TO the
skirt hem, are particularly smart in
Paris just now and promise 10 grow
even more popular as the season ad-
vances.
Very French and an example Of
the extreme OF the short-sk rted mode.
is the costume with a wool-embroid-
cred Jacket extending down into the
skirt in tabs. This IS really a frock,
not a suit. for the simulated Jacket
Is a basque bodice stitched fast 20 the
gathered satin skirt. The basque IS
OF black duvetyn and the skirt OF
black satin. Wool embroidery IN
black gray and scarlet brightens the
basque which Is close fitting. with
rows Of small buttons on front and
sleeves. A little gray squirrel fur
cravat finishes the dainty costume and
the saucy hat is OF scarlet velvet and
silver lace.
New Short skirts Wide And Narrow
Fashion has concentrated on the
length Of skirts-she does not seem
to caro- about the width. Some OF
the new dance frocks flare exceed

very clinging skirts are really won

10 much longer petticoats and is
u making the very most Of the short
skirt era while the vogue lasts. For
never have skirts been shorter. Some
OF the models launched at the races
this summer might almost have been
mistaken for bathing dresses-the
kind that is. that used to be worn
few years ago before women took 10
donning Jersey tunics and trunks for
a salt sea dip.
No skirt has yet been seen that
escapes the knee. but many. many
skirts there are that fall only just
over the knee; and few skirts come
much below the knee-in Paris that
is. American women do not 90 10
quite N extremes in skirt-length-
or rather. skirt brevity-but the in
fuence OF the very short skirt cannot
fail 10 affect autumn styles on this
side OF the water and since frocks
and tailored suits will have much
shorter skirts than they ever had be-
fore. tall women. who cannot let down
the hens OF ready made costumes FAR
enough. will probably have to wear
petticoats much briefer than they ever
wore before-or eke out their costume
with some alien fabric.
Stockings Much In Evidence
Naturally. these very short skirts
mean very conspicuous hosiery and
stockings have come up to the new
standard demanded OF them very
promptly. They are embroidered.
they are clocked. they are ribbed.
they are inset with lace. Some Of
them are in coiors to match the cos
tune, but in the main. dark or neu-
trail tones are preferred. Black silk
stockings, after ALL look best with
these very short skirts except when
a dance frock Is worn. And foot
gear must be very dainty. High
heeled. light soied slippers look best
with the very short skirts-the least
ciumsiness in footwear spoils the ef-
feet entirely.
II you can adjust your conventional
prejudices 10 accept the new short
skirt, It Is really rather charming
provlded It's wearer IS young and
slender and lithesome enough to stand
the STYLE. No woman who cannot
manage to look rather cunning in

And Il seems almost supernuous TO
add that no woman OF substantial
sllhouette should affect such a skirt.
