Girls Are Wearing Long Skirts
The Young society girls, particularly
at dances. look these days almost as
though they were in fancy dress cos
tune, their new gowns being so quaint
In the first place it is difficult to get
accustomed to their long skirts; they
do look so different in them from the
knee length ones we have become ac-
customed to. However. they are all
wearing them long, ankle length or
longer for evening. The bodice are
so often tight, darted and longwaisted
and the skirts very much hooped. look
as though they stepped out of an old
picture.
1t is so interesting at this season
10 see the new costumes come cut.
particularly those worn by women 1pst
back from Europe. Nine. Marie Peters,
wife of the Swiss minister, for one,

Green. one of the very smartest ma
~terials by the way-with a draped
skirt and surplice bodice Joined to-
gether to give a continuity OF costum-
ing so essential for the smartly gown
ed woman this season. There is a fold
of soft white chiffon outlining the
s~urplice bodice in a color-like effect
and this same softening idea is re-
peated on the elbow length sleeves.

sized black velvet hat trimmed with
ribbon.
