one can scarcely distinguish whether
they are long or not.
Still, the fact remains that the
newer spring models making their ap
pearance have somewhat longer skirts,
though not nearly so long as might
have been suspected.
We have the loose, short coat for
spring. This is something entirely
new, for it has sleeves that often are
made kimono-fashion. The French have
adopted this style, and we are follow
ing, even though we are prone to con-
slider the suit as something which
must have tightly-fltted sleeves with
armholes that are as defined and
stitched and shaped as any tailored
mans garment-and sometimes more
so. The little, loose coat will be one
of the spring features, and while some
times it will have a skirt to match,
more often it will be combined with
skirt of some other material and some
patterned or striped and the skirt will
be plain, or the combination will be
reversed and the skirt will carry the
pattern, while the coat will be plain.
With or Without Wraps.
Street dresses for spring-those that
can be worn with or without wraps to
cover them-are perhaps the most in
teresting of all the new dresses. They
really form the foundation-note for
many costume suits, as they are called,
for it is a simple matter to select
wrap or a top coat that carries out
the scheme of the dress, once the
costume has been given some distinc-
ton of design. Lelong models show
things which he considers to be the
most interesting designs for wear dur
ing the coming season. They have all
of the features which make the new
frocks popular, and they are made
from the materials which will be most
used for spring.
A dress with simulated jacket is
made of dark blue wool velOurs, in an
extremely light weight. Its edges are
braided closely, so that the little ad-
dition to the bodice suggests a jacket.
The sleeves are made pulled and full,
and are gathered into tightly fitted and
fiaring cuffs, which represent features
Of the newer type Of spring dresses.
This dress shows one of those clever
usages of panels, making the skirt
look surprisingly long at some angles
and at others as short as the shortest
of them have ever been. The round
ing line taken by the panels at their
lower ends adds a portion of charm
to the skirt which could not possibly
be gained by straightly cut off line
posed at that point.
The waistline for this frock is placed
at q normal point, and it repeats the
succession of rows of braiding used
to trim the jacket so effectively. Then,
this trimming motif is carried again
into the sleeves, where it not only
runs around the oddly shaped cuffs,
but faces detached strips of the ma
terial that hang away from the sleeves.
from the elbows to the cuffs.
Sleeves-always sleeves-sleeves in
varying widths and varying styles,
are the salient features of the frockS
which are notable for spring.
Trimmed With Ribbon Rosettes.
A winsome dress Is trimmed with
series of ribbon rosettes applied to
a heavy crepe. The crepe is one of the
brownish, goldfish tones, that can
stand by itself for coloring, except for
the fact that the rosettes are made of
