"MARJORIE" TELLS HOW YOU
MAY BE STYLISH AND
STILL HAVE HIPS.

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-Fiftt
Avenues showing of real mid-wintel
dresses is playing some tricks on
the straight-line chemise dress. A
glimpse at the windows all bedecked
with rich gowns for hurly-burly win
tier weather gives strong hint that
by springtide the dresses will be
fuller and wee bouffant.
1t is the uptown houses which ex-
plot Original models and imported
creations" that are ringing the knell
of the "string bean dress" They
are following the examples of Paris
which has swung away from the
straight-line dress for 80 long that il
is about ready to swing back to It,.
Americas swerve from a universal
ly becoming type of dress will be
more gradual, however. The cou-
turlers are using all their cleverness
to merely fleck the gowns with some
phase of the new trend.
Thus, one of the leading gown
houses Of America Is showing q col
lection of rich duvetyns and velvets
whose main deviation from the lines
of the chemise dress is found In the
hem line which curves up
ward at the front of the gown. The
hem continues into wide contrast
ing facing. Thus. model Of cochin
brown velvet continues It's up-and-
down hem line into a wide banding
Of marigold colored brocaded satin
This upward sweeping front line is
found in many of the late winter
models and gives promise of dl-
rectolre or Empire line before long,
IS high waistline seems to blend
best with this mounting hem.
Other houses, are sponsoring a
new silhouette by inserting umbrella
'olds at the sides. Rich metallic |
)rocades or satins are combined in
his way with the main fabric Of
velvet, duvetyn, or a heavy wool |
'elour. This exploitation of the
lips is very contrary to the prevail !
ng straight-line mode. Other hints
If a coming seasons houffantness are
given by horizontai pin tucks at the
hips or fan shaped pleatings of con-
lighter weight fabrics.
Panels at the sides are also being
ised. This fad is especially noted
n black-and-white costumes. One
louse is showing an importation of
vide vale white serge or twill band
ID and paneled in black satin. Small
,earl buttons outline the bandings
md hip panels. Panels, by the way,
ire very chic when used as over
unics. Another importing house
s showing a street gown of midnight
'lue serge and black satin. The
attn is used as a rather clinging
lnderslip and the serge is the tunic
t is about knee-length and is cut
nto deep points of uneven length
'ome Of the points are edged with
my silk tasels that flop about most
'iquantly.
Midwinter frocks, however. ara
lot forsaking all the fashion DEGREES
II the earlier fall season. They
re more chary of the tlnsel and EN-
'roidery that frosted the gowns Of
estermonth, but they are exploit
ne the craze for insets of contrast
ng color and material.
That naive little pastime which
apular song epitomized some time
go, known as looking through the
.nothole in fathers wooden leg" had
10 view at all compared with that
4 the flip little rosettes, dabs of
eads, and other gewgaws that are
oked through a slash or eyelet in
r the bodice or skirt of a gown or
he front of blouse.
