Apron Drapery and the Bustle
BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE.

The apron idea as It 10 incorporated
here and there In women's clothes
this spring has nothing to suggest
that other mode, when aprons were
adopted as a purely decorative note
the period that we associate with the
clothes worn by Marie Antoinette
when she first went to the court Of
Versailles.
Then waists were small as noe
essary midpoint OF the hour-glass sTl-
houette. and the decorative little
aprons were of lace falling over the
parting OF the pannieres draped on
either side and yelling the inverted v
of brocade or quilted petticoat that
usually showed beneath.
Now the apron is seldom found as
part of the bouffant type of frock. 1t
is more apt to be found in the frock
of clinging or draped lines. In the
imported dinner frock shown in the
sketch you may see an apron OF en-
broidered black net over black satin
tho skirt at the back between the
edges of the apron being filled In by
the loops and ends of an enormous
hustle bow.
Another mode that might be regard
ed as In the apron class Is the plated
skirt that has been worn to some ex-
tent at French resorts during the late
winter and early spring. 1t was such
a sensible, practicable plan that one
wonders why 1t has not been more
generally adopted on this side Of the
Atlantic. This frock showed a per-
fectly plain underskirt with the effect
Of a plated skirt, produced by tying
a plated apron around the front with
a narrow belt fastening at the back.
At the back the two sides of the plait-
ed apron missed only eight or ten
inches of meeting. OF course. the
advantage Of such skirt is that
there are no plaits at back to be fat
tened out It was with this object
that the skirt was designed. but the
result showed an interesting line
that made 1t worth while apart from
it's practical advantage.
One wearies Of considering how last
years frocks can be revamped to
meet the new seasons demands.
There is far less Of this sort Of re-
vamping now than was once the case.
Women have apparently made up
their minds that they would rather
wear a frock lacking in the earmarks
Of the latest mode than a frock robbed
Of expert finish and made q trifie
| dowdy by their own inexpert attempts
at bring it up to date. Still there are
times when one" feels constrained to
modify a last years frock. The orna-
mental apron and the hustle are ex-

not infrequently the wrap section Of
q three piece costume will show the
tuokinE by way Of making q more
elaborate and heavier surface than
that of the frock or tunic or blouse
beneath.
In the beige crepe marocain cos
tune shown there is a three-quarter
coat wrap very heavily embellished
with tucks that hang heavily over
the crepe tunic beneath.
Crepe de chine is the medium of
the tucks in the gray costume. and
no fabric less plant than crepe de
