Sports Hose Are Not Bo Glaring as Heretofore » woolen sports hose has had the Feminine Frills Mark Latest Garb of Emphasizing Chic and Appeal. The feminine angle in clothes is be- ing expressed frequently in the addi- tion of feminine frills as well as in the lines of the frocks themselves. | There are, of course, draped effects, panels, uneven hemlines and other means of departure from the straight and narrow outlines heretofore associ- ated with. feminine.chic. These are im- portant. But the addition of feminine furbelows also mark a new note this season. : Jabots, ruff'es, scarfs, deep collars, odd cuffs, girdles and all sorts of dec- orative features are introduced to soft- en the silhouette. The wardrobe witnesses a variety of fabrics. They are both sheer and sturdy and each demands ‘a particular type of trimming to make effective the ensemble. One of the most successful means of bringing feminine charm to the fore will be found in the addition of lace—for all purposes. The collar, cuff, tie, scarf, pocket and all the other places which require decorations will ‘find lace brings a charm of its own as well as conform- ing to the present day standard of feminity.

The cycle of style, which commenced about four seasons ago and which installed femininity, ele- gance and all the gentler virtues of fashion in place of severe mannishness which had gone before, is now reach- ing a still more advanced state, and from present indications the wheels of fashion will continue to revolve in the same direction for the next few seasons. this that there is not a very great dif- ference between the styles of this sea- son and last season. The members of the Paris haute couture are a restless group and they are always making changes and inaugurating new vogues so far as they are able. Very often there is a strong resistance on the part of fashionable women. That is scarcely the case this fall and winter. New themes are most attractive to the current members of the haute monde, and so long as they are in the temper of the modern mode they are certain of at least a fair trial. . What, are the outstanding themes of the new fashions? For daytime wear the short jacket suit stands pre-emi- nently alene as the most significant costume. The smartest version of this ensemble consists of a loose jacket reaching to just below the hip tops, and a quite short box-plaited skirt. A notable feature of the new Premet short jacket suits is that they serupu- lousSly avoid even the faintest hint of fur ‘trimming. Standing next to the hip length jaeket costume in popular- ity is the ensemble which features a three-quarter length coat. This ensem- ble is most effective and correct when it incorporates a standing collar, a marked waistline which is clearly dis- tinguishable on the dress and more than vaguely hinted at on the coat, and a skirt which flares perceptibly at approximately the same angle that fic hand of good taste laid upon lamboyant features.
