UNEVEN IS THE HEM THAT TRIMS THE GOWN
BY MARIAN HALE

New York, Aug. 15.-Uneven is the hem that trims the gown.
 Even more classical than the para phrase. are the lines of the new gowns.
 Hens are so careless of the hori- zontal line that at first glance it looks as though the old days of hang ing skirt perfectly even were over Instead. the artistic abandon of these uneven hems is painfully accurate in it's inaccuracy!
 It's because of the graceful draperies used in the new autumn gowns that the hems of old have been abandoned.
 Side drapes of soft, material fall sometimes to the ankles. while the skirt itself reaches even above the eight inches-from-t -theground limit. Gowns with drapes in the back and the front show the skirt short at the sides. Where an all around even hem is effected, you may count on a decided transparency in the material This shows-well more than a silhou. cite, below the heavier part of the skirt, which reaches about ten inches from the ground In evening gowns, the long effect is graceful in it's soft draperies as it falls on the ground partly covering-oh yes, sometimes very short skirt! Generally the evening gown, with it's long train-like drape, is no more than seven inches off the ground. Anyway the broken hem line is the thing in the new autumn gowns wheth- CT they follow the classical, the me- | dieval or the just common twentieth century standard.
