which has lately been so popular. and
these, 1t Is true. are found in most
Of the spring collections.
There Is n new fashion for handling
chiffon that is employed extensively
by Madeleine ct Madeleine, PatOu and
polret. In some way the fabric Is
used In Il double thickness and Is cut
So that the hem Is distinctly uneven.
There Is In these skirts a great deal
Of %fullness. 81 that when one walks
about there appears n waving un-
dulntlOn about the feet. II Is an ex.
tremely graceful style. and one that

The dressy dress In two colors Is
another Of the things among the new
Showings that achieved instant sue
cess. At many Of the French houses
they are displaying gowns that have
the skirts made Of one shade and the
bOdlces made of quite another tone.
Patou, an enthusiastic sponsor Of the
idea. prefers the combination OF
beige and blue for this sort of frOck.

two-toned frocks which are accom-

The Spanish style.

Cabot, that artist among artists.
Is standing for uIn Spanish style In
afternoon aud evening dresses. Taft
fcta and laces are mostly used for
these gowns Cf formal expression, and
as most of them bulge out over the
hips there Is necessarily a repeated
use Of crlnollne whereby the effect IS
gained.

SHE was famous last seaSon-that long,
straight. thin affair of soft and cling
ing material which scorus the use Of
trimming and depends only upon It's
own contour to make II notable. Her
evening gowns are made of laces aud
chiffons often IN two or three color
ings or tones, each one blending into
the other. There are several black
and white gowns here made Of chlf-
fon and lace, with n touch Of distinct
ly bright color added I'm some way.
Jenny has surprised every one by
insisting upon keeping her skirts
even the skirts OF the evening gowns,
which are ever the first to fall-as
short as they were last season. Many
people look to this designer TO more
or less establish n style for the com
ing season. and there IL, In conse-
quence, much talk concerning the
shor;ness Of the skirts.
White and combinations OF black
and white are considerably IN the lead
among the evening gowns shown by
Jenny. And the white ones are per
haps the most notable among them.
They are made Of chiffon, of crepe de
chine and of MORE, their trimmings,
when they are trimmed mt all, being
also Of white and very inconspicuous-
ly handled. Both the white and the
black and white costumes furnish an
excellent medium for the use Of soft
drapings of lace. which, It would seem
