DECLARE FOR HIPS
Midsummer Fashion Makers Cite
 Styles Now In Favor.
1owe'ino, Crash, Awning, Hammock Material and penims Are Now
 Fashioned Into Dresses.

dotham midsummer fashion makers oeciare for hips, says New York iashion writer. Manufacturers and retailers both say that the hips are now In popular favor all because faree got angry about that paradise nnned hat that was thrown into the ooudoir of Frances lady of the land ana just as promptly bounced out again, while the Parisian milliners handed over the fourteen points that made It hat thrown into the big ring or international fashion squabbling. They say that Rue was angry once too often and that American women will not buy the toothpick or chemise dresses that Paris launched for the new season.
 Whatever the cause may be, hips is hips, as Fifth avenue windows all too we'll display. Iris the fashion season of the bouffant, the billowy, the exag- gerated, the puffed and pouched. Nat urally, this craze for distended skirt has launched carloads of coarse stiff fabrics upon the cloth market Bath room toweling, crash, awning, ham, mock material and denims are in full bloom as fashioned into dresses of every type
 Although many of the midsummer gowns use natural colored tOweling, there is a tendency to dip these sturdy fabrics into dyes of every hue and em- blazon them with weird, conventional, intricate patterns. Regular upholster- CTS cretOnne in color combinations that fight or purr are frequent, and even old paisley shawls are found made up into new hustled dresses.
 A leading house shows street dress fashioned of heavy dull blue and rose cretonne. Although an occasion al rose can be defined in the maze of intricate patterning, the general ef- feet is like dark-fowered cotton foulard. The material is inset with a panel of sheer white organdie upon which are scattered girly-girly bows of French blue metallic ribbon and pale pink rosebuds. A hustle distends the skirt through the hips, while the bodice is snugly Alsatian-laced.
 Of pouch pockets there is no end on the summers skirts. Most of them so distend that they add several feet to the hip circumference. Over panniers or hips drapes are wired so that there Is no danger they will fall into soft lines. Tier skirts of as many as eight rows of ruffles are running amuck up- on the avenue, and the top three tiers are wired into lamp shade and chan delier effects. Flaring bottoms of skirts have completely supplanted the old three-inch-around model, and a nOydenish, masculine stride is rapidly killing off mincing footsteps.
 Lowly ironing board covering is be- ing made into dresses that carry a price tag in three figures. This heavi- est cheapest kind of crash is embel- iished with scallops and embroideries in Chinese red or Algerian blue, and flaunts wired pouch pockets or side skirt drapes. Occasionally heavy strips of white kid or ordinary har- ness leather are stitched into man. moth side pockets for the hip width effect.
 Midsummer evening gowns are most elaborate and are as heavy with vel vet, plush and fur as at Christmas time. Many of these heavy satin or velvet skirts are hustled and hand painted in gorgeous eccentric patterns, such as with red pitcher plant, a screaming parrot, or a clump of ferns. But "the hips-the hips the thing"
