Dear Madam:
Were you Mary Manchester, what
would you do? A weary little shop
girl she was, who had no idea of
what a real home could be because
she's never had one, but very
definite idea of heaven--that was u

to her was quite all right; merely to
go and impersonate a rich woman in
order that the world should not know
she had died. And clothes and cars,

Skirted Frocks.

With longer skirted frocks, coats
will also become longer. and the
mode will doubtless prevail to wear
our wraps as long as our frocis.
One of Jean Patou's new coats of
green velvet has the longer lines that
are made possible by the longer skirt
Tho belt line is placed fairly low. but
there is little room over the hips and
in the skirt for the bouffant frocks.
The tendency TO overtrim clothes
was strong in the period Of Empress
Eugenie. There was an over
elaboration of detail, a piling on OF
founces and rufiies, ruchings and
ribbons. There were plaitings anu
fringes, festoons and scallops and
embroidery was used on frocks as
lavishly as 1t is today. The tendency
there are strong counter tendencies
to draw us back to simplicity. Let
US hope that the tempting variety and
array Of trimmings that have already
been shown will not revive this phase
of the Eugene mode. The best Of the
dressmakers in Paris are using these
new and interesting trimmings, but
using them sparingly.,
1t has been pointed out that grace
of movement as well as pleasing de-
signs has been one OF the things that
has been considered in the pro-
duction of the new trimmings and
their application TO the new
clothes. Hence our renewed in
tereSt in fringe, tassels and loops
of ribbon. The present-day designer
must think of the frocks he creates
as possessing motion. He must think
of the moving figure of the woman
who wears them, not merely of the
80 ~
many Of the trimmings that will be
used most generously this season will
be trimmings that add to the grace
of motion.

THE POPULAR NEW SHAWLS.
BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE.

I, What a mistake to think Of clothes
we wear apart from the notion that
contributes to their effect when we
wear them!
It is because Of this element Of
motion that the artists who design
clothes have a rare medium Of e1-
preston. There is the form of wom-
ems bodies. always the subject most
interesting to painters and sculptors.
There is the play Of colors which the
fabrics. like the paints on painters
palette. Then there is the motion
that adds to the effect when the
clothes are worn.
Tulle is not merely SO many yards
of filmy fabric when it caresses and
she walks or dances. A veil is not
merely something to be draped from
a hat when 1t half conceals. half re-
veals the varying expression OF wom-
ans eyes and mouth.
Designers realize this as they never
did before. The men and women who
made clothes in the id-nineteenth
d-Victorian or second en-
pire, call 1t what you will could
have had no such feeling for motion.
Because they built clothes to be worn
over crinolines and close-drawn stays.
one would design a house. It was
something static. Then the problem
Of the woman who wore those stays
and crinolines was to move along with
as little motion as possible. To be
able to glide by way of walking was
the ambition of every woman. 1t was
the test Of aristocratic breeding.
We have no such restrictions to-
day. We do not consider 1t indelicate
to show that we walk on two legs.
We do not wish to look as II we were
lay figures pushed about on rollers.
nor do we affect mannerisms Of pos
ture to keep our arms from moving
or our shoulders from bending.
For this reason we can really get
the full benefit of draperies and panels
and scarfs. Tassels and fringes have
returned to high favor after they had
seemed to have outworn their well
come through too long tarrying. And
can you wonder?
The -fringed Spanish shawl
stands out as an accessory of dress
that has revealed the grace of bodily
motion for centuries. 1t has been the
mems for generations as it is for stage
Carmens today.
Empress Eugenie did not introduce
the shawl into French fashions. but
she made the Spanish shawl popular.
II she had any hopes that she would
Introduce anything Of the true Span
ish mode Of wearing these Spanish
shawls into French fashions she must
have been sorely disappointed. AS
worn by the fashionable woman of
the second empire period they were
as unlike the veritable Spanish shawl
worn as a Spaniard would have worn

a somewhat earlier period in the last

they can kill us when still far from
