Fall Styles; Dark
Shades Shown

NEW YORK, Aug. 26s-tP1-
Women's winter wardrobes are
c~rystalizing into clearer curves
than last years mode ever knew.
Style surveyors and fashion
designers have labored successfully
over the perplexing problems Of
length which worried wives last
winter.
The hemline. SO uneven in 1929,
mas found its pIace-a place that
gives but scant concern to its
distance from the floor. IL measures
Itself, instead, by milady's leg.
The length Of women's skirts
this year must depend on their
height" says Amos Parrish, fashion
counselor for many American
stores. 1T will vary with the
woman and with the costume she
wears.
Clothes for practical town wear
tweed dresses, suits and such
should strike the upper curve Of
the calf. Sports frocks will be
worn below the backbend OF the
knee. while formal afternoon frocks
strike the lower curve Of the calf,
and evening gowns swirl about the
instep."
The fall silhouette, according TO
Mr.. Parrish, Is going to have a long
limbed look. Waistlines x indicat-
cd where nature placed them, hips
are generally flat and skirts hang
straighter than they did last year.
The bell-like skirt OF 1929 Is Civ
