Modern Pleats

In former years pleats were used foi
the purpose Of fullness. One could not
have an entirely plain skirt. ana SO
pleats were used to give the necessary
fullness in good1ooking manner.
But now that fullness is so much
thing of the past, something to be
avoided, pleats are again called into
use for exactly the opposite purpose
to conceal fullness. We must have a
certain amount of fullness in order to
live and move and have our being, but
the styles are narrow. straight, with
out flare. And so. we fool both the
styles and our own demand for COM
fort by straight pleats which fall into
slim lines when at rest and allow COM
Portable width when called upon to
give il.

The new scarf is one of the most
important items in the spring mode
1t may express a diversity of ideas
and serve variety of purposes, from
finishing a severely tailored coat or
wrap to carrying out a brilliant color
scheme in a sports costume. Or It
may be an elusive wisp of tulle yelling
a too thin throat. But no scarf is
more important than that which is
a very part of the suit or dress for
which 1t Is designed.
No. 1886 expresses the last word in
street frock with a very clever
adaptation OF the scarf. 1t Is a
straight, side-closing model-simplic-
ity itself to make-and most econom-
ical withal, for 1t is cut from a single
width of 54-inch material. Not the
least important point of this frock Is
the sleeve which carries out the feel.
