Straight Versus 'Boutant Lines.
The survival of the straight line
through another seasons struggle
serves to show that In this style the
American woman has found some
thing to, which her personality is emil
nently fitted. She may experiment
with all of the innovations in the. way
of more generous widths, but back
she comes to the straight lines, which
have proved their satisfaction.
Down go the skirts to far lower
level, but the straightness of the line
of the frock remains intact We have

Draping In Long Lines. -
The sleeves that are draped, the
skirts that are draped, the waistlipes
that are draped and so on show trend
toward using materials in this pre-
scribed manner. We are becoming so
accustomed to gracefulness in our
everyday attire that we are really
quite classic, and after a while we
will find ourselves unable to do with
out this general stimulus of beauty.
Artists In dress have been working
for this end a long while. They have
| insisted that. once the American wom-
an came to know her own powers of
displaying the beautiful, she would
develnn that art with an avidity never
before known in the history. of woman
And this summer as one walks along
the street It is impossible not to be
struck by the fact that there is a
larger element Of beauty in our
clothes than there has been in all the
years Of our recollection
The draping, so much part of the
accepted gown. is in a large measure
responsible for this state of affairs
There Is hardly gown where. some

go into new season. for the accumu-
lation of other and perhaps more i'm
lortant features OF dress. This, then,
Is what IS called the evolution of style.
1t is by this process that our clothes
develop We cannot long retain a
trimming or gew-gaw that is not
useful, but If the fashion survives the
test, 1t is bound to be thing which
will be generally satisfactory for
many seasons to come, not just for
the short span of months called sea-
son.
The Long Coat.
Nc one with an aptitude for observ-
Ing style as 1t develops can fail to
see that the long coat with loose,
graceful lines Is one thing which has
come out Of this season as surety.
1t has superseded the cape and, by
that same process of evolution has
become thing with all Of the valu-
able points of the cape retained and
gracefulnesses added.
The cape had gone little too far
|
for any claim to ultra-smartness. II
was necessary that some new idea be
thought of, and 1t happened to be the
coat Of longer, more flowing lines.
SO many Of these new coats, seen al
the races, the country clubs and all
outdoor gatherings, are made of the
heavier silks In dark or neutral 'colors
with rather more startling tones used
for the Innings. Seen coming along
the road, 1t is puzzling to know
whether some garments are a coat OF
cape. after all, so closely DO the two
types resemble each other When tht
coat swings open, It has those cape
lines to WHICH we have chung so lon,
because Of their womanly charm. Blu
when the coat Is closed 1t Is more o.
an adequate street garment than tn,
cape could ever hope to be. 1t has
BIT Of style all by itself, needing n,
other garment to make 1t successful.
The long coat is a Partisan interpre
tation Of this newer of the outer gar
ments. It Is simple enough In its lin
and general makeup, but 1t has tina
attention to detail of style whlcl
places 1t in the class of the more i'm

Now for Testimonial
To Argentine Horsemen

The Argentine polo players are
going to wind up their visit in sport
ing fashion on Wednesday afternoon
by selling all their ponies by auction
at the polo field of william Post &
ord made by these ponies this year
should commend them most highly to
American players, and II is to be
hoped that the visiting horsemen
from South America will be treated
with true sportsmanship when they
put up their mounts for public ap-
praisal on the eve of leaving for
home.
BY going to England with their
ponies last spring and then. after
beating the. pick Of British polo
teams. crossing the Atlantic again
to try conclusions with the best In
North America, the Argentine horse
men have done something which will
live as one of the greatest interna-
tional sporting enterprises in the his
tory of horsemanship. Men and
ponies have shown themselves to be
a match for any rivals in the world.
despite the serious handicaps of
travelling 10000 miles by sea and en-
countering two radical changes of
climate in one season. Now let the
wealthy polo players of the United
States send the South American
players home with such a testimonial
to their sportsmanship as will bring
them back another year as challen-
gers for the international Cup.
