Paris Adopts
Longer Skirts

I NJ
Sleeves. IN flict. are the sensation or
the senson We hardly expected them
TO be. We had looked to skirts to
provide the thrill of change, but here
are the sleeves most beautiful. most
wonderful to behold Dressmakers
and designers had had rest from
sleeves for some time, so they cnrne
back to the problem with zepl TINT
shows itself gloriously in the things
they have put before the public. And.
the women Who love TO dress-4they,
too. come back to sleeves with enthu-
siasm glorying to show the graceful
sweep OF their arms by the whirl Of
the chiffon trailing along. liking to
feel the looseness and wrappiness. Of
the extra folds about their arms
f. Sleeves are trimmed and trimmed In
many different ways, There are heavy
trimmings on fraii foundations and
there are wavy lines of tpIle applied to
heavier materials. There are sleeves
Of alternating stripes running cross
wise and those where the stripes run
lengthwise But the most amusing
sleeves Of all ore those that are made
Of materials quite contrasting to- the
gowns hemselves-brilllant sleeves of
flowing graceful lines attached to
frocks of neutral tone. Just as we ex-

into a belt or "a glrdle, so We are hav-
Ing II this season flashing from the
sleeves. It Is q new note and one TINT
is quite satisfyingly becoming,
Loose and WrsPpy Coats.
Paris has feeling for loose and
wruppyl coats worn with dresses to
harmonize or to match exactly, This
fashion, she declares, is one that is so
reailS feminine that for benuty and
charm it can find no equal. When they
make snlts over there they en-
ploy more or less trimming. making
them look as much like street dresses
rs they do like tailored suits. They
call them tailleurs, but they bend
every effort 20 take any hardness Of
u tailored look away from them.
The dresses among the Paris show
ings are Inclined, as class. TO have
long waists. again presenting the har.
mony nf long lines. The French
dresses blouse over the hips at low
.ne, which, year ago, we would have
believed impossible to wear But they
have done itand done 1t well and It is
really surprising how becoming the
longer waistllne. not to mention a
bulging walstiine. can be. Even on
the evening gowns the waistllne Is ac-
centuated by thick and protruding
trimmings. One no longer makes a
fetish of the fairy waistline, but one
adds on intermihnbly with no thought
for tinlness just ut that particular
place,
The evening gowns are draped and
draped again. with one portion Of the
drapery obiterHting another portion.
| They look always as though the maker
had reveled in the draping OF the
fabrics and as though she 'hnd let her
whlm carry her along ms she pinned
and shaped There Is no rule about
where the drapery shall start or where
it shall finish--no pattern TO go by,
but the material falls where IT will
and follows with its masse1 folds the
lines of the figure for which II is de-
signed. Indeed. the best of the eve.
4 ming gowns are entirely draped, sans
trimming of any sort and with sell
wages showing brayely wherever they
happen to fall The walstlIne on these
formal gowns are all long. The necks
are apt to be- high at front. while
they curve extremely low at hack
even unto the. waistllne, even wher
tnatis low, The sleeves are generally
among the missing, there being either
large, plainly finished armholes from
which the arms emerge or mors
drapery about the armhole, where the
concentrated folds swing about alonl
with the motion of the arms.
