On Broadway their skirts are short
way to the knees, writes fashion
correspondent In the New York Times.
The college girls around Columbia
wear theirs, too, at this high stopping
place. But. take a walk on Fifth
avenue any of these afternoons, and
you will not fail to see the skirts de-
scending. and descending. y And, when
you do see the newer and the smarter
things as they are actually worn then
you are forced to confess that you
like them. 80
Their smartness lies not alone the
fact that they are distinctly new, but
they shine because they are so beautl-
fully prop0rtioned and designed. 1t Is
not only that the skirts have descend
ed, but the waistlines have done the
same thing in totally harmonious
fashion, and the sleeves are just as
long In proportion, so that the smart
womans figure becomes something
with new appearance rather than OF
any heightened appearance. In oiher
words, before YOU know it, your s6irts
will be long, too, and you will hardly
know the difference.
A certain comfort lies In these newer
and more formal clothes In that they
are notably suited to the more mature
figure. The girlish stuff of the last few
seasons looked all right on some Of the
older women, but II we are honest on
the subject 1t did not superlativeiy
become all of them. And the scant
straightness of the gowns that are
passing into fashions discard iad
many unfiattering ways with them
when they adorned the lines that were
more plump. f.4s p. .it
Now these newer, frocks with all
their fullness and draping and pleat-
ing offer many little subtle tricks by
which a figure that Is more than or
dinarily large or of unlovely proper
tons may be so softly obliterated that
the dress walks right into the class
with the leaders of fashion. Really
the newer dresses are more artistic
things than, were their predecessors.
They have kept the best from the
older styles and have added new points
that make them absolutely fascinating.
For Conservative Women.
Newer full length dresses from Paris
are designed to suit the more con-
sentative woman as she makes
choice for her wardrobe. One by
Madeleine and Madeleine is of that
softly flowing type which has taken
SO firm a hold upon the women who
are taking up the newer lines and
dresses. Only the wide band of en-
broidery at the waistline and the but
tons along the edges Of the flowing
sleeves suggest any trimming arrange
ment. But the lines of the frocl are
its glory, and they are used here only
to Illustrate the sort of dress which
is becoming increasingly popular.
A frock of this kind covered by a
loose and Topping coat with sleeves
that are as wide as they can manage
to be, is the sort of costume that you
can see now and again at the smart
gathering places In town. There ere
more of them to be noticed every day
and even If you have pledged your
self to short and sport clothes Cor
good because Of their entire comfort
you cannot help but turn about to
admire the new costumes with all their

Joe owns some rental property in

Mr.. Stokes said, bit peevishly-tha1
