The Brilliance of Small Hats

Point to Remember Is That the New Conet Must Be Worn With Intelligence—Mincing Stop Is No Longer In Order.

It does not take exceptional Insight to oee that the clothes of this win- 1 ter demand a new figure. The curved body that wore the graceful folds of , clinging drapery that formed our j frocks a couple of yean ago does not) advantage the abort-akirted. i Ught-waiated. flaring frock of today.. No. with the acquirement of our new j supply of frocks we must acquire a i

iw figure.

Now the new corset Is. of course, es- ] rutlal to the good fit of the new L frock- But the new corset is not everything. It helps to mold the fig-1 ure. It gives the right proportion to ] the hips, it emphasises the slimness of the waist. But the new corset must be worn with Intelligence The debutante-slouch figure must he discarded. with all lu attributes And to r the new corset properly the figmust Unit be straightened out a

bit.

The new frocks do not demand the old sort ot uprightness that came into fashion ]ost about the time that the ! Gibson girl arrived. But they do de- ' mand well-hold shoulders, a rather , straight hack and such carriage that ep easy, swinging gait it possible For a mincing step with our wide skirts would be decidedly out of place, according to our modern notions. This shows how tar we have really advanced. In our sartorial progress, from the days of 1860. when full, swinging skirts wage properly accompanied by ahon. mincing steps. No: we don t like to mince. When hobble skirts demand a shortened gait we. haltingly and after many accidents, fall Into . But aa soon as wide skirts return,

We Uke to minimise the effects of tbs world-war on fashions. We see a few gilt buttons, s little braiding and many hats modeled on different military capa. but on the whole we any that the war has had little direct result on fashions Yet perhaps It is
