Salient Features of Spring Clothes of
Marked Interest to Women Who
*■- Seek to Wear Latest
Creations.
Short skirts, long waists, short
sleeves—these are the salient features
of the spring inode as it becomes es
tablished by usage from day to day.
In one of the windows on Fifth ave
nue during the past gala week, writes
a New York fashion correspondent,
there were exhibited two gowns pre
sumably for the street, but they were
abbreviated and diaphanous in the ex
treme—so much so that one uniniti
ated in the change in fashions could
not have been expected to recognize
them as street garments.
Two women stood before them, re
garding their shortnesses and thin
nesses with awe.
“Don’t you suppose they’ve made a
mistake?” said one; “surely those
dresses are meant for evening wear.
Why, look at the sleeves and the low
cut necks!”
(Yet the figures on which they were
draped were wearing hats and gloves.
It wasn’t a mistake by any means, and
the observer was destined to meet

jaunt about the city. For they are
appearing in greater numbers every
day. There is a decided acceptance
of all of the short cuts which not long
ago seemed not ordained to be favor
ites of American women.
There is no denying the fact that
the short skirts are pretty and, in
most cases, becoming. They give a
proportion to the dresses of the hour
that could not be nearly so good were
the skirts allowed to be any longer.
Every once in a while, along the thor
oughfares where well-dressed women
are wont to make their appearance,
one sees astonishingly beautiful
street clothes with skirts so short
that they are nearer the knees than
the ankles. The short skirt, without
doubt, bids fair to become the most
distinguishing feature of feminine ap
parel for 1920.
Long Sleeves Scare.
The shorter sleeves are not so
readily taken up by some women gen
erally, though the longer ones are al
most impossible to find In the shops.
They are not “the thing” at all. One
might as well accept short sleeves or
qf sleeves, for they seem as inevitable
as the high cost of living. A special
design is the only way around the
Idea that sleeves shall not end an inch
or so below the arm pits. And special
designs these days are confined to
the few. The rest of us must accept
the dictates of fashion as they stand
and decide to glory in them.
After all, the short sleeve is much
like the collarless gowm when it
comes to applying it to the various

•Types of feminine beauty or non
beauty. Woinefi will insist that they
cannot wear the style, that it is not
becoming to their type, and finally,
when they do stop struggling and ac
cept the fashion as it stands, they find
that they really look extremely well—
they surprise themselves. And then,
when they come to analyze the situ
ation, they discover that they have
been refusing to accept the change
merely because it is new and that
they never really have given it a
chance to prove whether it is becom
ing. This happens «jis often as drastih
changes are introduced in fashion, and
time and again women have worn the
thing that they announced to begin
with they could never countenance. It
bids fair to he the case of the sleeve,
and those who are looking toward
that shining vista, economy of mate
rial, will welcome the shorter length.
A French designer has announced
emphatically that the long waist is
^ the line especially adapted to the
American figure. Some one is heard
'‘to murmur: “What is this American
CT~ .'-C
figure that the French love so to prat
tle about?” Well, it is not as yet the
French figure, which is allowed to be
as plump as it pleases, wherever it
pleases. We still lean to straight
lines in this country, and the figure
which is not built along these lines
may be corseted to the state where
it seems to be. It is for such a figure
that the French artist of renown des
ignates the long-waisted models. And
you have only to obsei ve them on
straight, more or less flat figures to
see how really beautifully they are
adapted to the contour. Callot is do
ing the long-waisted dress to perfec
tion. She has sent over many love
ly models. Tlie skirts are full or
plaited, and while often they are
made with tighter underskirts, many
of them leave the fullness of the
skirt to be the only line below the
dropped waist.
Long-Waist Model.
For instance, there is one model
from this renowned house made of
gray satin, with a full skirt falling
over a tighter skirt of black satin.
The straight, long, flat bodice Is em
broidered in gray in an all-over pat
tern of large design, has wide cuffs of
black satin on the very much abbre

viated sleeves. Another design from
the same house is made for dinner
wear. It has cream satin draped over
black satin, making a sort of cascade
skirt, and the rather low and pointed
neckline is edged with wide headed
bands of gold and pearl-headed em
broidery. A long-waisted model for
afternoon wear has a Chinese brocade
waist and lower panel of the skirt
made over a foundation of black
satin. Then there is a fuller skirt of
navy blue serge, draped from a low
waistline and allowed to hang over
with an uneven hem. one side being
very much longer than the other and
pointed where the draping meets.
Paquin has made some successful
long-waisted models, as have Made
leine et Madeleine, Jenny, and Lan
vin. Most of the other designers also
have done things with long-waisted
effects, but these are the ones which
accent the idea especially for the
American women whose figures they
say they have studied with a real
idea of providing gowns peculiarly
suitable for them.
Around about New York the serge
dress as yet holds sway. This and
the suit of serge are the only new
things, on account of the weather,
which have had the least chance to
show themselves. In the restaurants
at lunch time, when coats are laid
aside, one sometimes glimpses a gown
of taffeta, which material bids fair to
gain more popularity than has been
accorded to any one fabric for many
seasons past.
Most Desired Fabric.
At night, for dinner and dancing,
taffeta has made its appearance as
the most desired fabric; the evening
gown is rare that does not have taf
feta used in its making in one way or
another. Sometimes tulle or chiffon
holds the place of honor, but upon
examination taffeta is found to be the
foundation material, for the particulai
standing-out quality is the thing thai
is absolutely necessary to the modern
ist of evening adornment. Taffeta
has that lovely texture which makes
it stand out, hut at the same time it
falls in pleasant folds. Especially the
newer taffetas have been refined In
weaving until they are perfect.
