The Women's S Section
-Four Distinct Lines
to Golcn Says Fashion;
Chinese Motif ReignS

While Paris creates, America
adapts, an art as necessary as
the former to make French
fashions truly becoming to the
American woman.
The silhouette is straight and
slim. Four distinct variations
of this line, however, distin-
guish the winter mode. The
smartest dress drops from the
shoulder to the hem without a
break in the line, without a
vestige of a waistline, without
the sign of flare. The second
follows q straight line to the
knee, then adds a circular
flounee. The third, straight to
the hip, uses circular godets
to give fullness to the front,
while the back remains flat.
The fourth boasts knee length
Chinese tunic somewhat pinched
in at the hips.
Influences which govern the
mode are varied, but the ruling
one is Chinese.
Outstanding points of the
gowns are: the flat back, the
prineesse line, capelets, fringe,
Chinese embroideries or Orient
al color schemes, the circular
flare, buttons (often all the
way down the center 'front.',
tiers, and applique. Everything
moves toward the front, the
back remaining flat.
Skirts are eight to ten inch
es from the ground in all street
modes, whereas the evening
gown varies sometimes touching
or even trailing the ground.
In the street frock, sleeves
may be long and tight.
Necklines are round, square
or boat shaped. Newest of all,
however is the new Chinese one
inch collar line, caught at the
throat with loop, uniting two
buttons.
