Vionnet Creates
Wrap-Around
Dresses

Two or three seasons ago
Vionnet, the famous Paris
designer, introduced
wrapped-around. silhouette.
She first used it for coats.
then for dresses. It slowly
gained acceptance, and is
now seen everywhere. Last
spring she created some won
derful dresses with wrap
around skirts, but they were
not very popular in America.
Like all good fashions,
though, they were bound to
"arrive" in time, so we have
them with us for fall, a
fashion with good accep-
tance, and with undoubted
smartness. These skirts wrap
to the side, and are usually
tied at the hipline. Often
the top part swings out to
the side, making a slightly
triangular effect. This tying
at the side makes the waist
line and hipline adjustable
and therefore the frock may
i be worn very easily by a
great many women. Goats

around effect go very nicely
together, and are often
chosen to be worn together.
Other details that are typ
ical of Vionnet and that are
also often found on wrap
around dresses are surplice
necklines, cowl neck1ines,
open sleeves, and diagonal
lines that fit the body of
the dress.

Bodices Have
Individual Details

Many things about the
blouse or bodice Of a new
dress make it not only indi-
vidual, but also wearable.
Necklines are all becoming.
There is enough fulness to
be gracious to any figure.
The bloused effect that is
n nearly always present,
though it may be slight, is
flattering to practically
everybody. There is a look
of width at the shoulders
that contributes to the gent
eral grace and slimness Of
The silhouette. Scar is,
vestees, cowl necklines and
such other devices as jabots

are all effective and tend
to make frocks very, very
easy to wear. There's a one
sided effect, achieved in the
cut of the collar, or in the
simple use Of trimming, that
gives so many Of the dresses
a very new look. Details
that are used at the neck
line are often repeated on
the sleeves, or about tn 9

is usually fitted about the
hipline and extends rather
straight to the knees, or
thereabouts. Sometimes the
tunic is made Of one color
or fabric, and the skirt worn
Under it of another, a most
attractive device. The tunic
may button down the side,
close in a surplice line, or
affect nearly any other fash
ion detail. It is always
belted at the normal waist
line.

Peplums Are Good
In Varied Lengths

Peplums flare from tn e
waist or hips of many smart
frocks this fall. They fall
into two classes, according
to their length and their
origin. Costumes of ancient
Greece inspired the short
peplum, which starts at the
waistline and flares ever so
slightly for a few inches. It
merely covers the top of
the hips and gives a jaunty
appearance to its frock.
Greek peplums are sometimes
pleated, but they never flare
abruptly. They are very
easy to wear.
Then there's the longer

peplum often called the Per-
sian peplum or tunic. It
may start from the waistline
or from the hipline, and it
flares below the hips. Some
times it is merely a flounce
that looks like a peplum.
If you re familiar with the
costumes worn by the men
in Persian prints, you know
just how far this peplum
extends, and its general flare
and direction. Occasionally
it extends half way to the
knees, and the skirt is full
below. It then gives the

Russia Sends
The Long Tunic

From Russia come several
very acceptable themes in
the fall mode. Prominent
among them is the tunic.
You are familiar with the
blouse a Russian soldier
wears. This tunic is an
adaptation and an, elonga-
ton of that blouse. Now it

Surplice closings are in ex-
cellent standing, and flat
tering. And as though there
were not enough individ-
uality already, buttons are
used in new and interesting
ways. Only one or two Of
these devices are combined,
however, SO that frocks are
always simple, and never
fussy.

Meteor experts have only the

being. They are believed to be
fragments of something. Whether
they are swirling dust Of a dead
planet, particles swept from other
worlds or the remains of some
upheaval in space centuries ago
is still a secret.
The size of the particles was
said to be probably as small as
grains of wheat, but their ter
