Its NEWS OF S LEAGUE DISCUSSED OLD CANAL IMPROVEMENTS Successful Agitators for the Erection of Locust Street Steps Will Turn Their Genius on Making Ancient Waterway a Thing of Beauty The annual ebullition in favor of improving the old canal occurred last evening when the subject was brought up and discussed at the regular Jan uary meeting of the local Municipal League. / The ancient waterway has caused more ill feeling in the borough in the last ten years than any two other sub jects combined.

OFNTEIftF T§ WHEN *■ ■ THE PARISIAN SIIHOUCTTE REPS SUPREME The Short Ooat Combines With a Full Gored Skirt—The Large New Hat New York, .lan. 25. When the war broke out In August tbe world was positive that there would be no more Parish Fashions. "Ameri can Clothes for American Women" be came the slogan of the day, emphasized and encouraged by dressmakers and manufacturers. After all was said and done, how ever, the silhouette which Paris launched in August is that which has taken the United States bv storm this ■winter. The waist is close fitting at the shoulders with a waistline well defined and the short skirt, smooth over the hips and flaring at the ankles. The skirts aro usually three-piece, although many are circular and some have as many as nine gores! But with all these gores and fulness, they do not look at all like the many gored skirts we wore in A Hew Version of the Russian Blouse Dress the first few years of this country, but appear in their style like those skirts and dresses of the Victorian period, with a "stick-i-outness" similar to the hoop skirts of that day. In fact, some of these dressee have petticoats with a reed run through a casing just above the knees. This holds out the fluffy full skirt in a delightfully easy manner, j This is a style which is adapted espe ' cially to the thinner fabrics such as silk and the light weight cotton mate i rials, so it is without a doubt that many . flounced full skirts, over full, starched or reeded petticoats will be the order of the summer season. The rapid arrival of the short coat is a thing which also surprised many peo ple, who had bought the long full win ter jackets expecting them to last until spring. Alas for their hopes, for after all the prognostications to the contrarv, : this season has not been so very differ ent from others in the rapid changes in styles which seem to come to pass over | night. This short jacket originated with the , house of Callot in Paris. They launched | the first short coat and kept repeating : it until the world of style felt its el j feet and embraced the new idea, j One eccentric model has a short jacket which buttons in the back!
