Fashions like events cast their shad
)ws before them and the fashions fol
he winter of 1922 are casting mos
lntesesting silhouettes which indicate
Tor the coming season a development OF
the lines of the season past and at the
same time show departures from the
fashions we have known.
The silhouette remains pretty much
- the same, straight OF line, falling al
most directly from the shoulder to the

y dication of the belt line In spite OF
this similarity Of silhouette there are
several outstanding points of definite
fashion interest about the new gar.
ments for the fall and winter.
The placing of the belt line and the
length of the skirt are the two most
striking differences In the first place
there is nothing literal about the pres

not placed by the up-todate designer

judged the place for it. We still re-

cause it is a substitute Of what we
once knew as such. The real waist line
is like the ear it has not been shown
for an age.
Winter Dresses go to Both Extremes
In this one feature the winter dresses
go to both extremes and while some
Of the designers accentuate the long
waist line and the low girdle by max

In either case the girdle is pretty
apt to be finished at the front or side

A new dress that has recently come
over from Paris is made Of the black
and white satin successfully combined
and embroidered with pearl beads and
gold thread. Black is always good
for the informal dinner dress and no
wardrobe Is complete without one on list
of dresses. One OF new crepy mater

A dinner dress is distinctive for two
interesting features. one is a latticed

shoulders and the low placed gIrdle on
the skirt which Is made Of the
