Dear Folks: I've been trying to
get, as the boys say, "a line" on the
length of the dresses for the coming
season, for I know all womankind
is interested in this question.
The latest word is this: Eight to
ten inches for ordinary morning and
afternoon frocks, 10 to u inches
from the ground for sports suits.
Very long for evening. Not after
all so much of q change from the
past few years. The slim, straight
dress is decidedly the favorite. Some
are tube like, but the woman who
really cares for the grace Of her cos
tune will introduce bit of full
ness, either by slight fullness
across the back or at the sides or by
means Of teirs Of sections to the
skirts. The sleeves seem at this
time to be almost at the arm hole
or down to the wrist.

that spring styles are diffident
about creeping out, but when you
have some idea about the length of
the dress and an idea about sleeves,
and when you know that while
ching or porcelain blue, black and
white, sand and for sport wear
strictly Chinese red are cplors that
with gray added make up spring s
favorites S to color, you have a fair
idea of how to start a spring ward.

Cordially yours,
AUNT JULIA.
