The girdle shares with the sleeve
the distinction of being the only strik-
ingly new feature of this winters
clothes. Honors are about evenly divid-
ed between the two, according to Paris
fashion correspondent. Perhaps the
sleeve has been more talked of than
the girdle because the majority Of the
new girdles are so elaborate and so
costly that the woman who Is averse
to plunging into heavy expenditure on
clothing feels that she can exist with
out one of these girdles, whereas
sleeves she must have.
But, as the season is still young. 1t
is likely that less expensive copies OF
these costly affairs will be made and
that these will be seen on the less
exclusive frocks. At present all OF
the firms showing exclusive models
are putting great stress on girdles.
These are, without doubt. very i'm
portant part Of the costume, and, al
though elaborate. they suggest many
simpler ways Of girdling dresses. The
addition Of a new girdle is an excel
lent means of rejuvenating a last
years frock.

never have been more important than
