DecOIIette Keeps Its Balance As Waistlines Fall
 PAToU CAPTURES STYLE IN BODICE LINES

WrItten foF MIA eeFyics


 Written for NEA Service
 Paris--The field onfn co cnnuI1 in the various strategic points ot d dress, following upon an aItefa- ton in the place of the Wnitrunc' is extremely vast.
 The category of~clothes where unouestgonabIy any novelty ln tho mode .is more freely expressed W that of evening dresses. Here the changes that have been worked on the new theme are more apparent.
 T. think that the dscollete best iiiustrates tho most apparent chanres that have occurred. This is only logical and motivated by the fact that the waist, or rather the belt, achieves Q horizontal ef- feet above the waist and aillefEorts heretofore had concentrated on achieving e very noticeable length ening of the bust.
 old Artiflces Abandoned.
 This season we are compelled to abandon completely all of the arti- fices used in preceding years to create the illusion of longer bodice.
 These were used, of course, when the waist was placed at It's normal height or slightly above. With the new lowered waistline, this would result In giving the bodice too great an importance in relation to the length of the skirt. whenever have launched an important novelty in the genera lines of dress, have always con sidered 1t necessary to tend all eL- forts towards maintaining the sense of harmony and endeavorea tc avoid inopportunite or aooi,lona. La seemed to me to be self-suf9cient. Equilibrium Is Sought. 7
 The models sthat have been cre- fated according to my new idea show proof, I think, of perfect enuiiibrium, and observing of this | naturally brought in its train the necessity of abandoning all bias lines or effects on bodices, wnicn up to now were SO successKul III | conveying sense of length.
 This season these lines are trari- | ferred to the skirt, where they have now become e necessary feaL- ure. Dress tops too are rarely symmetrical, but on the contrary almost rectilinear.
 This is, in my opinion, the Char actistic "motif' of the new decoi- letes which, on the other nands offer as always the variety of de- sign We now expect. AS Q matter of fact, every possible effect can be dared today in decoiletes, pro. vided the lines are never m oirect contrast with the principle now ruling on account of the lowered waist. This means that the cut Of a decollete must strive to diminish rather. than emphasize the length of the bodice.
 Horizontal lines are now admit ed, and while back decolletes are just as deep as proceeding, ettil they do not extend lower than the Inatural waitline.

 What do you do with them r asked George when she had decid, ed the purpoined root was Mrs -A-" and put Nt back In It's proper pile.
 "f'm going out and have Mike dig holes for them.
 "You plant them and they grow" The children were begin ming to see daylight. No one had told them the ywere to be put into the ground where they would stay quietly all winter to peep tip at the world, slender green blades seeking the warm spring sunAntne, and later to open up q beautifully col- ored cup to the sky.
 The names of the different tu- lips would have interested them, andI how they got those names. Also the knowledge that where in other years there were only Q half dozen varieties or 50, now there were probably fifty kinds developed by people who loved them and gave months and years of their lives to make more beauty for the world.
 Interest Not FOstered
 But there was stif1 another mat ter that think even more impor- tant than explaining and going over catalogues.
 The tulips were taken outdoors and laid in little marked piles for Mike to plant in the prepared beds.
 The children watched him cui1- ously but they had no interest par ticuiarly in the garden flowers. Even now, the bushes beside the porch were burning with chrysan- themums. They meant nothing to either Ratsy or George. They were there, that was all. They did not even know their names. Some- times there were few on the din- ing room table or on the piano, but they were never allowed to touch them either on the bush or in their vases.
 Shouldn't Be . Secret
 Flowers, 1t would seem, were n selfish secret their mother kept to herself and that Mike was too busy to explain.
 Next summer there would be lit- tie wires all about heSormal beds and borders to keep Chem away. They looked on the garden as a sort of nuisance.
 How nice 1t would have been to give them some of the bulbs and say, Here, children. These are hidden flowers waiting to, grow. You may have that little plot of ground near the bridge. Mike will show you how deep to plant them and next spring they are yours"
 We miss So many opportunities to add to the knowledge and ap- preciation of children. How else are they to learn?
