Perhaps this seasons innovation is
an unusually individual fashion since
Patou as well as every one interested
in dress designing must remember the
havoc made of good fashion . few
years ago by the hasty and inexpeft
copying of his beautiful creation, the
long hip-moulding skirt intended pri-
marily for formal wear and suddenly
incorporated into dresses that appeared
anonymously at every hour Of the day.
The colors shown by Patou in his
Fall collection are beautiful, as always.
There are the rich medieval brown and
tearose, and considerable Bordeaux red.
His blending Of colors, too, Is charm
ing, as in the instance Of deep brown
with tearose and lemon yellow with
Bordeaux red, both Of which he does
with a sure hand.
Princess lines are seen throughout
all the new evening fashions. Bodices
mold the diaphragm. Skirts fit the
hips snugly and are shortened in front
to show the feet. NecklineS are higher
In front, with some reaching to the
collar bone, but backs, as q rule, are
bare to the waistline, except for few
straps.
This type of dress. with high front
neckline and low-cut back may be worn
with tiny capes that cover the back but
reveal the neckline in front, thus max
ing much less formal type Of costume.
These little capes match evening coats
and provide variety in the evening
wardrobe. They look especially well
with the three-quarters length swagger

WILL Patou's new low waistline revo-
w lutionize fashions? This is a much
discussed question at the moment. In
fact it might be said to have been one
of the chief topics Of discussion ever
since the French designer showed his
new collection, with belts on evening
and daytime clothes dropped to the hip
line
That the moyen-age inspiration, as
seen in the Patou models will have a
Strong influence on fashion Is undenl-
able. but Just how that influence will be
worked out in daytime dresses IN this
country Is still an unsolved problem.
The general opinion among American
designers is that this Is a style OF the
future for daytime clothes, but that II
already has place in the formal eve
ming mode. At the best Of the New York
fashion shows it took prominent place
evidently thought well of it, while ad-
hitting that this mode requires study
and careful handling. Merely dropping
the waistline Is not enough, for this new
low waiStline Is different from the one
we knew a few years ago.
It must be worked into the design OF
the dress. It must BE- beautifully done.
It must be part of clio hes that are we'll
cut and superbly fitted-a style that Is
most successful in made-to-order dresses.
Indeed, it is safe to say that in its pres

mass styles, but remain what fashion

Its gentle influence how their breath
clears up, color flames in their
cheeks, and they become sturdy,
playful, energetic again. A Western
mother, Mrs. FL. J. Stoll, Valley P. O.,

Roma Lucille, was constipated from
babyhood. I became worried about
her and decided to give her some
California Fig Syrup. 1t stopped her
constipation quick; and the way it
improved her color and made her
pick up made me realize how run
down she had been. She is so sturdy
and well now, and always in such
good humor that neighbors say she's
the happiest girl in the West"
