WORD
ON W0MEN'S'
STYLES IN
FALL
Skirts Trifle Longer With
Snug Hips; No More Ear
Muffs or BObbed Hair for
Milady.

If you were right in style last year
prepare to be awfully out of it; or
else begin to save so that you can
purchase an entirely new outfit. For
the styles of 1921 will look like the
medieval period when placed along
side this winters creations, according
to members of the National Wearing
Apparel Association in session in Chi
cago.
To begin with. the most crushing
of all is the utter absence of the
dolman. Everyone in the world had
one last year, either in fur or velour,
or in velvet for evening wear. A
dolman in the pages of smartest
fashions, is as hard to find as hens
teeth.
Then, lines have changed, too.
Everything is perfectly straight and
very snug. Suits for instance, have
long coats. They come almost to the
knees, are very tailored and fit close
ly around the hips. Mr.. Pollack. from
Cleveland showed oae suit of panva-
laine with a long tight waist and a
still longer flare reaching to the knees
1t was too smart forwords-and heav-
lily embroidered with gold thread,
which will also be immensely popular.
Flowing sleeves are quite the thing
Longl like those on priests robe,
they are. Many are lined with bright
colors. Speaking Of colors, they are
almost nil in frocks. Everything is
black-a touch of white is permitted,
but black. black, black reigns. Every
thing is black. Monkey fur is used so
profusely that one wonders. whether
any other kind of an animal grows
monkey fur. There can't be enough
in the world to supply the apparent
demand.
Cape dresses, are an innovation
according to Leon Kahn, president of
the association. The cape comes off
and 10, YOU find yourself in a charm
ing one-pece frock, with no sleeves
to speak of, and very little below the
knees. Yes. that tells the tale about
skirts. A tiny little bit longer-they
say and demonstrate by showing you
dress reaching one-siXteenth of an
inch below the knees.
The most popular fad with women
for the coming winter isn't frocks
or blouses or pomeranians or jade
beads.
y It's permanent waves.
Everybody is doing it. Or else just
getting ready to have it done.
| At the opening meeting of the
National Hair Dressers' Association
here today which, by the way. is the
first convention the organization has
ever held, everybody was talking per-
manent waves, the latest machines,
the most approved methods and the
enormous demand for sittings.
| The chief aid of this convention
will be, possibly, the creation of a
distinctly American type of coiffure,
There are to be no more ear muff
no more bobbed locks. "Bobbed hair
is passed. The high, dignified hair
dress is the new thing" explained, f.
Rohde. "False hair is used freely, par
ticularly when made into waves OF
curls. That is characteristic of the new
head dress. And the ears must show
There will be no more ear muffs as
they are called.
American women are the most
beautiful in the world They need in
dividualty in hair dressing. because
of the divergence in types, and Amer,
lean hair dressers are going to helr
them develop it. Overseas fashions II
