shape of the whole face, but with
soft felt edges to enable the whole
thing to be worn on top of the head
like a toque. For evening, half
masks are worn above the forehead,
so that the lace edging comes down
to the eyebrows.
Valences are noticed on black
satin evening frocks at Paquin and
Molyneux. They sometimes start
below the knees and have double
pleats in groups.
There are three formulas for eve
ning-no decollete with long sleeves
and long, straight skirt; round
decollete with very short puff sleeves
and princess skirt widening toward
the ground, and an entirely bare
back with no sleeves and skirt full
at the back.
Among many smart things seen
this week, those which were most
striking were two costumes at Molly
neux. The first is a strict tailor
made in silver lame with a short and
gently f1aring skirt and a short
jacket over a jumper of hand-knitted
cashmere black wool, perfectly plain
and with a rolled collar. The Sec
ond is a soft black wooden suit, cut
on the same line as the other and
worn with a gold lame blouse having
a straight, small collar and buttons
covered with the same lame.
MolyneuX has successful ski en-
semble of slick and shiny trousers
of black cloth, narrowing into the
shoes, a thick tomato-red knitted
jacket, straight up to the neck and
with black buttons in the middle,
and black-and white checked
tweed square half-length coat with
big, fiat pockets.
Further news in the fashion world
is the advent of WOODEN lingerie. A
very fine fabric in Angora wool,
such as the one made a few sea-
sons ago by Jacques Maillet for
blouseS, is used for making lovely
pale pink nightgowns that are finely
pleated Sheer wool muslin and lace
make elegant underwear as fine as

Skating Skirt Wins
Acclaim of Gay
New York Set

NEW YORK.-Indoors outdoors
and all around the style-scape, the
skating girl silhouette has definitely
won the approval of our fair sex,
and up to date it seems to this writer
that our favorite fashion has the
most acceptance in two groups.
The first and largest group is the
school crowd who wear junior sizes
and young clothes. It's positively
amusing the way these girls, when
they get together, gang up on a
fashion and wear it, one and all,
alike. In high school group the
other day We listened to three girls
from the same neighborhood, but
different schools. All were wearing
plaid dirndl skirts with suspenders
over white blouses. And all were
discussing the swing skirts they we're
Getting or had. One of them opined
that hers didn't have quite enough
flare to it, While another eXultingly
described one which had the skat-
ing-girl skirt in the Sonia Henie
manner. This star" seems to be
outshining Deanna Durbin at the
moment, at least as far as dress in
fluence is concerned. The girls Just
rave about her.
Then there is another group which
Is the index of style acceptance, and
that is the smart set, the fashion,
able or society crowd, which the
fashion hounds keep an eye on for
every little whim or fashion trend
The swing, or skating-girl silhou-
cite, is quite noticeable among these
well-dressed young women, who are
known for their high-style clothes
The fact that these skirts when
properly fitted. on mature figures
take plenty OF material will probably
prevent the style from becoming
ford" Nevertheless, it's youthful
one, which makes it desirable all
around.
Roller skating, bicycling, bowling
and all those active sports that are
gaining in popularity tie right into
the swing skirt movement OF course,
this doesn't imply that the swirl or
skating girl silhouette is only for
those who skate, or those who go in
for these sports. On the contrary
1t Is even more successful in after
noon things of a dressy character.

OliCe season. NOW It's tle Dfdc-
teal angle and the time saving
angle that appeals to business and
professional women. Making the
clothes problem so simple that she
doesn't even have to think about
1t is the greatest service our stylists
can offer to active women.
We have great many manifesto
tons Of interest in the double-duty
dress this fall. The newest is the
one that carries into evening wear.
Some stores are showing long
skirted dinner dresses and offering
the same style with a short skirt so
that you may choose two skirts with
the same top. Your husband will
probably say it's take-of on his
tWo-pants suit.
Another version is a soft after
noon type OF dress, daytime-length,
that comes with a separate floor
length skirt for dinner wear, which
you slip on top of the day dress
when you are dining out, and your
escort wears a dinner suit We can
only picture this kind of dress APP
pealing to the little woman who
doesn't go out formally very often,
but would like to be prepared for
an occasional splurge when it does
happen. In the meantime she has
her afternoon frock for Sunday
teas or bridge parties, and does not
have to go to the expense of buy
ing a formal dress to hang in the
closet most OF the year. Her extra
formal top skirt does the trans
formation trick when necessary.
We can't quite imagine professional
skirt in her bag to slip on after
Office hours!

By HELEN VOGT.

It's quite Jump from the "Minuet
in G" to 1.-THE Girl Friend of the
Whirling Dervish." The distance is
equally as far between the Marie
Antoinette influence and the Al
gerian motif-but both are impor-
tant in fashion this season.
All of which just goes to prove
what versatile creatures women
really are. At the beginning of the
season we heard nothing but hoop
skirts, romantic and dainty jewelry,
bows and feathers Then suddenly
we are surrounded by Bedouin capes,
dresses that suggest Algeria, and
hats that look as though they had
been borrowed from an Arabian
chieftain. It's all very confusing.
However, this new trend of fash
ion-commonly called the new sill
houette-is really striking. No doubt
it is wise thing, too, for the mod
ern girl just can't 60 around being
demure and sweet every hour of the
day. Every once in while she must
break out with something sophisti-
Gated, dashing and indicative of the
worldly wise. The Algerian inf1u-
ence is certainly all of that.
Recently we inspected some of the
new styles in this motif. Without a
doubt they are charming, but, we
fear, a bit hard to wear. Dresses
are made usually with a yoke and
gathered just below the shoulder
line, and from there on they hang
straight and in folds. In other words,
before the belt is added, the creation
resembles nothing so much as an
old-fashioned night shirt-and looks
just as unattractive. But-and this
is an important conjunction-when
the belt is added the story is q diff
ferent one. Then the dress becomes
tightly fitted at the waistline-show-
ing of your tiny I'VE hope) waist.

BY LUCE MARION.

PARASITIC fashion Of 1899 is
very characteristic and very becom-
ing. Although it borroWs from
various periods of the past, it does
not take its complete style from any
one of them, but chooses from each
some element of what is a new and
harmonious individuality.
There Is a certain unanimity in
the adoption of the 1900 princess
waistline. Bodices creep down over
skirts and skirts creep up over
bodices, but care is taken to preserve
the wasp-like waist by means of
boning as narrowly as possible, or
obtaining the same optical effect by
an exaggerated f1aring of the skirt.
which is assisted by horsehair hips
or starched petticoats.
In every house there is marked
tendency to allow the skirt as much
f1aring as possible. Even sports skirts
are cut on the bias and kept wide
at the hem. Skirts for day wear are
either cut in a complete circle or in
full-width panels at the hem, but
always ending completely fiat near
the hips. Such skirts are shown in
whole collection of navy blue or
black afternoon frocks at Main
bOcher.
Molyneux is faithful to his &C
contemplated skirts for day and
evening, and, in most houses. a
gored or pleated panel is inserted in
front to give fashionable fullness.
Skirts are short, and every in
dication is that they are going to
be shorter still. Some of those
t1aring frocks in wooden crepe at
Mainbocher are so short, they look
like TUNES. Fortunately, they can
show S to 10 inches of very pretty
petticoat.
Schiaparelli has gone carnival for
most of her new models show a
harlequin pattern for evening. There
is either cut felt applique or en-
broidered KEW stitch on the sleeves
of long straight coat or a short,
half-f1tting jacket. Her new hats
are hard felt masks, nodded to the
