FASHION has adopted a new meas

FASHION has adopted new meas
uring stick.
There are very concrete differences
in the standards CT perfection in actual
measurements Of dresses, suits and hats.
And there are less tangible differences
that ere felt when one becomes imbued
With the spirit OF the new era in dress.
Waistlines are of enormous impor-
tance. Il is not enough merely to
realize that they have come back to
so-called normal after the decade and
more when they dropped to a lower
than-normal position. Actually many
OF the new wsistlines are placed q
trifle higher than the old-fashioned
normal but when placed in this slightly
elevated position, they co not follow
The precedent of slightly higher waist
lines OF other fashion eras. Even with
the slightly higher waistlines the funda-
mental slimness and slnoothness over
the hips are insisted upon. There must
be no releasing Of fullness below the
baltlinc.
Even waistlines of the normal sort
are so arranged ard wcrn as to give
slightly upward effect, which is i'm
portant to remember in adjusting sepa-
rate skirt or suit skirt over a blouse
In one-piece dresses there are various
trimming devices that give the slight
~ upward effect at the waistline. al
though the actual lines of the dress are
smooth through the waist and hips
II for no other reason than to indi-
cate that there is no danger of a re-
turn to definitely high waistlines, it is
interesting to note that many of the
french dressmakers place belts an inch
or SO below the so-called normal line.
MolyneuX especially indorses this treat
ment. This should be an interesting
comment to the woman of mature figure
who is still convinced that a normal

waistline is appropriate only for slender

So far as skirt lengths 60. there are
no new developments-nothing to re-
port. in fact. save that there is no in
dication CT longer skirts anyhere. and
here and there among the important
French dressmakers a slight shCrta taning
in the length of street skirts 1t is
difficult AS we'll as misleading to give
precise measurements that will apply
to all persons. Obviously the actual
skirt length varies according to the in
dlvldual height. The rule that street
skirts should end from to 13 inches
from the floor should be also considered
in connection with the height of the
individual. A skirt 9 inches from the
Hoor would give the effect of greater
shortneSS on a very short woman than
en- a girl OF amazon proportions
Sleeves are doing all sorts of inter-
estlng things this season and demand
an adjustment of old-time standards.
Extremely full sleeves, however are de-
partures rather than the rule of fash
Ion, ana there Is general feeling in
Paris that sleeve fashions, though more
elaborate than they were during the
postwar period, will remain conserva-
tive In cut and finish. Sleeves of the
raglan or set-in type are increasing in
favor, but they are fairly closely fitted
so as to give a somewhat higher effect
to the shoulders rather than the sag
glng, dropping lines of the old-time
raglan.
So far as length of sleeve goes there
Is wide variety. There are evening
dresses with full-length sleeves, and
on the other hand there are coats
and suit jackets with sleeves that ex-
tend only a little below the elbow.
Push-up sleeves made with an elastic
at the lower edge are among the new
things in coat fashions that mayor
may not-survive the present season.

Fashions in Millinery
Change Almost Overnight
FASHIONS in millinery are NOV

FASHIONS in millinery are moving
along at SO brisk pace that it
IS almost a misfortune to become too
deeply attached to any Of the new
styles of hats which must inevitably
be given up in favor of something new.
Or perhaps we should say that if a
prevailing style of hat especially
pleases YOU, make the most of it while
the fashion lasts because the time has
passed when single style of hat will
remain in favor season after season as
was the case during the long reign Of
the cloche.
Milliners have all sorts of interest
ing tricks in the bag for Autumn. but
for the Summer, at least, wide brims
and shallow crowns will remain in
favor. and until the coming of the
late Summer and Autumn the down.
at-the-right and up-at-the-left silhou-
cite for small hats will remain in good
repute Interesting changes in hat
fashions are on their way for Autumn,
but bear in mind that there will be
no undue rushing of the season this
year. Milliners have definitely deter
mined to allow us to wear Summer
hats all during the Summer-instead
Of tempting us with Autumn hats dur
ing the warmest days of the year.
For immediate wear French MILL
ners are showing shallow little Breton
sailors with rounded crowns and mar
row brims, designed to be worn little
down and forward at the right side.
Panama or other natural toned straw
hats are made with crowns punched in
to give the desirable shallow squared
outline. They appear in the very wide
trimmed version that will remain in
favor during weeks of Summer, and
also in the rather narrow brimmed
version. OF these the bTim is some
times definitely shorter at the back
than at the front - trimmed with a
