next spring" is the definite
N prediction, regarded as a
threat in some quarters,
just made by the fashion experts
These style creators base their forecast
on the present trend in wa:st line de-
signs and character. Skirts are now
being made with hip panniers of wire
or cane and have been very popular.
This seasons fashion show and the
present tendency is to extend this
projection all around the waist. Many
models have big rows Of plaits, which
bulge out greatly, suggesting the very
old fashioned hustle. The women,
however, have raised loud cry against
the return of the hustle They say
"never again." but dressmakers only
smile knowingly and answer, at is on
the cards"
The women say that they have be-
line draperies. They hate to think Of
the return Of cumbersome skirts sus-
pended from the ungraceful hustle
Fashion designers, however, point to
the hustle as an accomplished fact.
The dresses are long and rapidly
getting longer and longer. When the
skirts once more nearly touch the
ground it is inevitable that trimmings
and attachments will be added. Then,
they say, watch out for the hustle.
Those who predict the hustle say it
will appear first in muslin and lace
dresses.
"Women will accept the hustle as
they eventually accept every other de-
cree of the Paris fashion world" is
the confident comment of the dress
makers.
Turkish flags are flying in various
parts Of Paris for the first time since
August, 1914. Parisians did not know

! best residential quarters until the re-
cent victory Of the Kemalists in Asia
Minor.
Great silken banners with the white
star and crescent on a red field were
displayed first over the old Turkish
Embassy, which was the residence OF
the late General Horace Porter when
he was American Ambassador to
France. When they appeared on other
buildings the police regulations pro
hibiting the display of flags, even
French ones, except on authorized oc-
casons, were waived. France regards
