Women's Dress Swings
Back to 1850 Cycle

NEW YORK. July 29.-United
Press) Just when we are beginning
TO fear that there is nothing new IN
der the Flapperdom sun, Paris an
swers our 8. o. S. with an entirely
new silhouette idea for the young
miss. The tight fitting bodice and
the long, flarring skirt are with us
again.
Before You chuckle too gleefully
over this good news, let me state
that this new silhouette affects the
evening gowns only. The fbapper can
be as short-skirted and as flapper-
ish as her little heart desires during
the day time. but for evening attire
she must don the fashions OF her
grandmother-lace mits. black velvet
wrist bands and all.
One wonders whether this Is not a
| comeback on the part of the design
/ ers, who have always been more or
less sympathetic with the peculiar
I tiles and "swankness" of the dress
! of the young miss of today. What
sver thei: designs may be, II will
enable Grandma TO see that though
they flap by day. the young girls of
this era can be as demure looking in
their evening frocks as the tintypes
Of 1880.
Designers declare that all the fur
bellows Of the period gown is TO &C
company these new frocks; long
| cameo earrings that reach almost TO
the shoulders, wide flat bracelets,
silk mitts and even the petr1coat.
Still another silhouette. the straight
line dress which has been predicted
many times before IS declared TO
have come forward with a certainty
This type OF gown Is not to be used
for evening wear end Is not consid-
cred appropriate for the younger
girls
Many OF the Paris houses are
using the Egyptian ideas for fall.
Bronze and almond green are the
favored colors for these. Many Of
the taffetas and silks favor change
able the effects which are extremely
4 lovely when worked IN the Egyptian
designs IN dull gold threads. Gowns
OF this type lend themselves well to
the new straight line silhouette.
Quantities Of metal brocades ac-
companied by metallic ribbons are
being used for the new fall gowns.
The tweed suit which. like Mary
little lamib, goes everywhere that
Mary goes. Is said TO be as dead as a
doOrnail IN Paris. Smart tailored
suits OF soft gray mixtures are being
worn in their place for morning use.
With them the manniSh little vests
Among the srnartly gowned wc-
en- who throng the club house en-
closure at Belmont park these DAYS
one notices a preponderance Of red
tones which range from deep rose 10
orange. often II Is the hat which
carries the coloring, but recently the
4 weather has made wraps unneces-
sary and entire gowns OF brilliant
red are seen. All white costume,
are also popular and make pretty
contrast 20 the more vivid colors
Nest or thu gowns are made up on
simple lines. relying entirely upon
their sleeves for distinction. When
sleeves are not exaggerated as &C
length or width. they are entirely
missing. in which case rows OF brace
lers cover the Arms.
Gloves are not being worn az al
Few slfpon sweaters are seen. Most
OF the hats worn at the races are
wide and dropping as they are not
carrying parasols as generally as for
merly.
one Of the prettiest bathing suits
seen at Long Beach last Sunday was
knitted afrair OF violet and taupe
The bodies portion OF the suit was
| OF plain taupe and the three TERED
skirt was made Of violet. with each
tier scalioped In the taupe. High
violet bathing shoes completed the
effect and there were no stockings

touch OF color 20 this attractive out
