Saying Goodbye. .

When guest In your house rises to
leave it Is not in good form to detain
him. Either to urge him to stay or to
detain him by extending the CONVEX
sation Is not really considerate. If
you accompany your friend to the door
should do whenever 1t Is possible-do
not start a new subject Of conversation
that would make 1t necessary for the
caller to linger in the hall.
II the call has been a formal call of
courtesy between two women who are
something like this: ut has been a
great pleasure for me to see you, Mrs.
Smith" 1t is usual to shake hands with
the guests as she says goodbye. To stand
chatting in an open door after a guest
has started to go Is in bad form, even
only courteous that you should see that
your guest is seated so long as she
Is making her call. so II you detain her
after she has risen sou are keeping her
standing. and that is not considerate
II the call Is one OF coincidence or
ing goodbye to thank the caller for her
kindness in calling. If the caller is an
intimate friend 1t is courteous to ask her
to call again. but to do this when the
call is formal and simply one Of the So
called ''calls OF courtesy" would show
il would then not be the callers place
to call again till after you had called
on or entertained her.
On saying goodbye at the close of
a call it is never necessary to shake
hands with any but your host and
hostess. To shake hands with all mem
bers and guests Of the family present
is sometimes very awkward. especially
when guests are departing from a party
OF any sort.

EMPIRE FROCKS FOR GIRLS
BY ANNE RIT.rENHOUsE.

There is a dressmaker who adores
youth. She wants to dress it in pref
erence. She made her reputation,
then her fortune. because she under
stood the things that growing hu-
mans could wear. Her own children
were SO we'll dressed that she was
persuaded to build for other children.
and after she had been persuaded
that fortunes were made by suiting
all classes, she continued to keep the
spirit Of youth in gowns for grown ups.
No one who has taken on the bulges
and creases and wrinkles OF age ap-
pears well in her clothes. All who

these clothes. She who apes youth is
speedily unmasked IL she tries to
prance forth in these gowns that
show up the moekery.
1t Is this dressmaker who has in
sistently put out the second empire

ticated Spanish originals which de-
mand mystery and coquetry rather
than joyousness and animation. She

it's long-waisted bodices that dis

The sketch shows one of these
frocks worn by a young girl who is
thing to be endured between holi-
days. The fabrics is genuine rose
colored taffeta trimmed with velvet
ribbon and tightly rolled silver roses.
The f1ounces are stiffened to stand
out at the sides, and the length is in
keeping with the march of fashion.
There are no exaggerated move
ments in the gown. The long bodice
does not extend to an exaggerated
hipline. nor is 1t held in by tight
ened girdle that is as artificial in its
way as the small waist of the pre-
ceding generation. The armholes are
outlined with roses, and the two
points of the bateau neck line are
carelessly Joined at the tip Of the
shoulder.

slders them negligible, easily man

are intended to stay. The Italian
neck line moves about the. shoulders
in a reckless and disconcerting man
ner.
After the French dressmakers found
that 1t would slip to one side they
gave it permission to do so. For sew
eral months they have fashioned 1t
SO that it exhibits half the shoulder
on one side, giving bias line across
the chest and back. They even permit
one side to have tiny short sleeve
which calls attention to itself by gay
ornamentation. while the other side
merely touches points above the arm
Standardized as this decolletage is,
