lD HERE will be dlstracting mo-

TUNES so that they may do duty sec
ond season. The task will be almost
hopeless, for their II more material

frocks for fall. The skirts are longer;
the sleeves are bigger, draperies AND
panels are more gathered than they
were. and bodices are no longer nat

In fact the silhouette has entirely
changed. Where the trock OF last
year was short and ptQuant and rather
dashing. this years trock L. long and
stately. with a distinction and dignity
that last seasons models lacked.
Women thought they would never &C

will be nothing 10 do with those lett

year but to turn them into dresses FOR
school girls-for only school girls
from now on are to wear skirts just
below the knee.
Draperies Touch The Floor
All the frocks pictured today-au-
thoritative models showing the very
latest Paris mode-have the new long
skirt. Most OF these skirts reach the
ankle; some have panels or draperIes
that drop oelow-quite 10 the floor.
And you cannot but admit that these
frocks are charming: graceful as no
brief-skirted slipover frock was grace
full. and possessing a dignity and dis

wears have lacked. The long. dignifed
{rock means an end TO bobbed tresses
no doubt about that. Clipped locks
with very long skirts have danger

eccentricity or blue-stocking propensi-
ties. Undoubtedly now that skirts are
down, coifrures will go up and already
tha BARRIERS confess TO falling off in
the bobbing business.
Women are going TO look like WON
en- again; like women with charm and
sweet dignity and gracious poise: and
mot like saucy little girls pretending
they are grown UP.
Obloue Lines Favored By Paris
The costumes presented on today's
page are afternoon frocks OF more OF
less formal character. Tailored trot'
teur dresses OF serge and Twill ano
homespun will be taken up another
veek. Those dresses have also the
new long skirt, low waistltne and more
flllness in an easing OF the mater'a
which gives a ripping effect instead

models do not depart so radically IRON
