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.

Miss White has chosen as a dinner
dress a sleeveless chiffon in flesh tint.
Three circular ruffles to the knee-

movement. Real lace is introduced as
an effective and quaint trimming for
the collar, pocket and ends of the sash
which ties a slender waist. -»
No Style Revolution
This Year, Says Paris
By now it is a well-established
fact that there is to be no style revo-
lution this year, says a Paris fashion
authority. 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
