ART IN FASHION
IS THE DEMAND

Modes of the Hour Are Pic
turesque and Make Ap

MANY WITHOUT WAIST LINE
Latest Creations Have Capes of Lase
or Plaited Chiffon Covering En
tire Upper Part of the
Figure.
Two women we^e discussing the
subject of clothes. Said one:
“Do you dress to please yourself
or to please others?”
“Why, to please others, of course,”
was the reply.
The questioner smiled.
“Would you mind taking off that
shirtwaist?” she said. “I have always
despised it.”
The silence which ensued was quite
thick enough to feel.
Perhaps, writes a prominent fashion
correspondent, this little story illus
I trates the futility of even attempting
to please. Most of us, I am sure, dress
the best we can with the means at
hand—those means in the bank and
those the manufacturers create. Now
and then one comes across tho<%? radi
ant persons who not only dress to
please themselves but succeed in
pleasing every one else as well.
All Seek the Picturesque.
I know of no other word with which
to describe the fashions of the hour
than picturesque. To be picturesque
seems to be the aim of all who make
and those who wear feminine apparel.
Dertainly there is a quaintness and
a charm about present moment modes
ft which warrants the term. For in
stance, a certain little pale pink or
gandie just the tint of a rose is band
ed together in a series of lace puffs
made by gathering a narrow band of
insertion along the top and bottom
edges and placing the puffs between
spaces in the organdie.
Across the front there is drawn a
little apron of the organdie likewise
banded with these same quaint puffs
and at one corner having a small
pocket fashioned of the lace and
tipped at the top with a deep red rose
and a blue ribbon. The bodice has a
fichu, quaint little sleeves of lace and

tom is snug and smart.
organdie puffed like the skirt, and tin
blue ribbon and red rose appear co
quettishly again at tlie side of tht
.fichu where it crosses. The charming
frock is not in the least fantastic oi
bizarre but picturesque to the last de
gree and is the sort of thing a younf
woman would affect for her gayes
moments.
It begins to look as if the waist i:
to disappear altogether—that is th<
waistline, I mean, for the newes
creations show not only no line where
one’s waist is but many gowns anc
blouses have capes of lace or accordi
on-plaited chiffon set over the shoul
ders and entirely covering the uppei
part of the figure. This effect b
achieved in a gown of black Spanisl
lace, the skirt of which has severa

other on a foundation of black satin

ver brocade form what there is of tht
bodice and a tight cape of the lac<

fits as smoothly as a cap over th<
shoulders. The lower edge falls ovei
the ribbon girdle in a floating pane
effect.
Same Method Overseas.

eeas in a white accordion-plaited chif

ous arrangement seems to make sleeve

tppears again in a flesh pink georgette
with the lower edges bordered with
several rows of palest pink ostrich
feather banding.
The fashion for veiling one’s self
In tulle as was done so much last
fear is more noticeable than ever. It
.s well to note that the soft wood
brown shades have almost superseded
the blues of the past season, so much
sb in fact that the brown is becoming
quite as hard to find as the blue which
grows scarcer daily—and dearer, too.
Brown, by the way, is the coming fall
shade. Many of the Paris imnortfl

tions for street dresses of the chemise
and one-piece effects show in the col
lection only two colors, in fact, brown
and black.
The soft fabrics, such as duvetyn,
velours and kitten’s ear, hi/ve pushed
•all others aside. Serge, we hear, is
'to have a rest, along with all of the
kindred fabrics of surface rougher
than the velvety velours family.
The embroidery is done by hand in
the same shade as the dress material
and the extremely heavy embroidery
silk is used. Redingote effects, with
their long slender lines, are leading all
others at this time.
Sand and Tan Tones.
As companion to the brown shades
destined for early fall and winter
wear sand and tan tones are often
seen. There are, by the way, several
new shades—faison brown, which has
i reddish cast; tison, which is rust
red; peace blue and jade; Corinthe
and Adriatic, also blues. The combina
tion of brown and green is striking
and unusual enough to please the
most ardent searcher after novel ef
fect. It is deftly done by placing
strips of a jade green along a brown
background and veiling the green
strips with a thin fabric of brown or
a heavy open mesh braid, through
which the green is flecked.
White and marigold yellow also
present a new color combination of
which the possibilities are limitless.
We learn that London is more inter
ested just now in clothes for the de
butantes than in all else—that is,
London’s smart world, for there are
the accumulated debutantes of the
past five years to be presented at this
year’s drawing rooms, since the Eng
lish king and queen held no social
gatherings during the war.
Because of the vast number of
young girls to appear before their
■ majesties the regulation court cos
■ tume with its long, long train, veil
; and Prince of Wales feathers will not
; be required this season at the several
■ drawing rooms, but the London raak
■ ers are creating wonderful afternoon
; costumes. Hence these lighter col
ored effects such as the vogue of
marigold and white—so closely are we
; in this country in touch with matters
> over there that it Is only natural that
the mode of their moments should
! reach us, too.
[ War Over Short Skirts and Sleeves.
Paris continues to wear its skirts
■ and sleeves just as short as possible,
■ and consequently we are having a gay
; little dressmakers’ war in this land as
i to just the length for American skirts,
[ for the “ten inches from the floor” rule
> has quite as many followers as has
. the five-inch adherents. It is said
■ that many Americans buyers had or
i dered French dresses with lengthened
> skirts for the American trade, but
[ when these arrived the general effect
* of the dress was impaired and the
■ buyers followed the French designers’
l Ideas.
Returning to the picturesque note
so pervasive, the newest evening
{ gowns for young women show one
. piece velvets entirely unrelieved by
. the slightest bit of color other than
t the dress itself.
**sne regretted ti e bath. She missed
it, and so must we all. In modern his
tory, as in modern fiction, it is not
nice in the least for the heroine*—even
such a dubious heroine as Mamise—
to have a bathless day. As for heroes,
in the polite chronicles, they get at
least two baths a day—one heroic cold
shower in the morning and one hot
tub in the late afternoon before get
ting into faultless evening attire. This
does not apply to heroes of Russian
masterpieces, of course, for they never
bathe. (‘Why should they, my wife
puts in, since they’re going to commit
suicide anyway?’)”—“The Cup of
Furv ” hv Runert Hughes.
