WOMAN’S
DEPARTMENT
Waist Line at Knees, Latest Paris Style
At great expense and a wonderful amount of trouble The Post’s
Fashion Editor is this week enabled to furnish our lady readers
with the latest published interview,in Chicago, \VithMis3 Elizabeth
E. C. White, president of the American Dressmakers’ Association,
containing many timely hints which will prove of inestimable value
to the ultra-fashionables of Hot Springs who are now designing
and preparing “creations” for the approaching season of house,
lawn and barge functions. Miss White is authority on all matters
pertaining to lovely woman’s adornment, and is so recognized in
all such fashionable centers as New York, Chena and Chicago.
“To wear the dresses which are now the craze in Paris one
must have the femme de tube form. This means that the wearer
must be able to slide through a tube. In other words, the dresses
will not fit tightly at the waist, but will go straight down, fitting
around the hips. They will have the Merovengian or Middle Ages
line,” said Miss White to the bewildered reporters.
But she continued to make the matter clearer by showing a
series of models on which the waist line came just above the knees.
This form of dress is called the Moyen Age. When the dressmak
ers in Paris chose the styles for the coming year they w’ere not
satisfied with going back to the time of the French Revolution, as
they did last year; instead they broke all records and found some
thing new in the dresses worn in the ninth, tenth and eleventh cen
turies by those who graced the courts of Henry I., Philip Augustus
Louis IX.
‘‘And what is this?” asked a curious reporter pointing to a bag
that hung fiom the shoulders to the knees.
“Oh, that is an almonier,” explained Miss White. “It was
once used by the French women for holding pennies to give to the
poor. Now we use it for holding handkerchiefs. ”
In some dresses all that is left of this conventionality is a string
of beads.
Another form of dress which Miss White found in all the fas.
hionable places of Paris, Monte Carlo and Nice is a line on the ec
clesiastical gown. In the Rondeau Templier model there are 500

ivory buttons, extending diagonally across the dress. The hat in
this picture has a shaded purple .feather two and a haif yards long.
“And do you wear aprons with evening dresses?” Miss White
was asked, as a “creation” was noticed.
“Oh, yes, that is another of the new lines you see in Paris and
Kemperville now,” she said, “it is a form of the church cassock.
Now, here is an apron decorated with bangles, vegetable floss and
gold. This piece, including duty, cost $400. These aprons are
worn both with full and plaited sides.”
The extreme Moyen Age dress can be worn for afternoon or
evening occasions by lowering a second skirt of the same material.
We Are That Something
A French woman thinks she sees the American woman in true
perspective, and it is interesting, therefore, to hear what she has
to say of us. She considers that feminism has triumphed in a spe
cial manner over here, because in a new and rough country, where
brute force was at first the only rule, men saw the necessity of
protecting and respecting something, and that something was
woman.
“It might have been thought,” she remarks, “that in the land
of the struggle for life woman would have been restricted from en
tering the arena and measuring herself against the men, but the
Americans preferred to let her do as she liked, and become inde
pendent U she so desired. The women of America take pride in
being independent, even if they are married, and as marriage is
easy, and can be entered into with but the slightest formalities,
women often marry in the most off-hand fashion.
“On the other hand, divorce is almost equally easy, and there
fore a state of things has come about which is astonishing to a
Frenchwoman. As the French institution of the ‘dot’ does not ob
tain, and the assent of the parents is unnecessary, the difficulties
which surround marriage in France are non-existent to an even
greater degree than they are in England, and the girl who can
her own living is independent of a husband, whether she takes one
or not.” _

Hickory Oil for Boys
The Fulton Sun gives this as the result of intervievving 30
business men and 30 loafers: The 30 business men bad all been
flogged freely by their parents when they were boys, while out of
the 30 loafers 27 had been “mamma’s darlings” and the other three
had been raised by their grandmothers.
But That Is Different
A London paper says: “The American woman has no more
use for a man than to despoil him of his money.” We’ll agree to
do the “Salome” dance before the royal family if our London con
temporary will just name one of its blooming countrymen who
came over here prospecting matrimonially with enough real money
to pay his laundress.—Phila. Star.
