Your Slips Must Be Shorter Than
Tunic to Be In Fashion.

HEN Bench women went
back to long skirts a couple
of seasons ago it wasn’t be-

cause they were really done with
skirts that were short. No very
decided reaction had set in against
showing ankles and a little more
than ankles. As we see the situa-
tion now it is quite clear that the
spurt into long skirts that took
place was just a little digression
that would tend to make the era 01
the short skirt last the longer.

American women as usual seemed
to take the change in mood of
French women and French design-
ers as quite final. .They were as
unwilling to give up the short skirt
as they had been to adopt it some
time before It seemed a solemn
affaixgalmost tearful. They had
learned to like short skirts. and
here was France giving them up.

So we dallied, until France had
rather taken all the thrill out of the
long skirt situation that was there
to be obtained at the time. Then
we eventually did adopt the logger
skirt. only to have Rance resume
the fashion of the short skirt.

Some women have been left
confusion. They can't tell to sea
their lives whether skirts are get-
ting longer or shorter. They de-
voutly wish there was some sort of
Arbiter of Fashion that would set-
tle each season such questions as
this of skirt lengths. “’ho wants
to decide such things for herself?

And here come new. even 'more
disturbing skirts from Paris. skirts
which are long enough to tickle the
insteps but are made over slips that
are quite short. some of them as
worn in France'coming barely be-
low the bend of the knees. You
may not like it. Still there is this
much about it. that most dress-
makers now are making transparent
frocks over slips that are several
inches shorter. It has this ad—
vantage, at least, that one does not
have to be bothered over keeping
slip and frock exactly even.

Evening Gowns of Today Would
Have Been Negligess of Yester-

“THE full dress of a lady of

1840 would have been the

dishabillc of a fine lady of
1640," comments a. novelist who
wrote eighty years and more ago.
And the writer of today might
truthfully add that the “full dress
of a lady of 1924 might have been
the dishabille or perhaps the negli-
gee of the lady of 1840. "

For though we see much and hear
more, of the~claborate and heavy
ornamentation of evening gowns,
the burden of silver and gold lace.
brocade, crystal beading. the fact
remains that very many of the best
dressed women cling tenaciously to
evening gowns that are simple and
light.

They are gowns that would have
puzzled the lady of 1840 very much.
They would have seemed to her un-
‘flnished and untrimmed. for dress-
makers do not new think of giving
the careful attention to finishing
gowns that they did once. In fact,
it is generally agreed that too much
work in “finishing" a dress is apt
to spoil the line. And of course we
don't think of putting trimming on
as an afterthought

impromptu looking evening gowns.

FIND THE POWDER PUFF,

In an age when women seem to
be willing to powder their noses
with the whole world looking on.
we certainly do go to all sorts of in-
teresting contrlvances to hive the
powder puff. .You really never
know where to look for it next. for
every day almost some new; idea
for hiding it has been thought of.
There are the powder puff handker-
chiefs, you know. with a tiny pocket
in one corner of the handkerchief
where a tinler powder pun is hid-
den. - .

“On leaving ethos." he added.
“why not go back to the simple life.

We Americans except to take our
doses of “simple life," much as we
take our porridge. By all means

for breakfast—just a little. served
with the accompaniment of sugar
and cream. But with your porridge
you'll want grapefruit. or fresh

must be taken to vary the mode of

or kitchen shelf of almost every
home in the land you could find a
number of cereals. sometimes a half
doses or more. .

But to Mr. Ramsay McDonaldb
compatriots “porridge" means noth-
ing of this sort. It certainly doesn‘t
mean jusf‘ a. sample of oatmeal

It means quite a bowl of it. enough

‘may also mean the substance of the

ture the other day." The
Flapper sighed luxuriously.
“Somethius l i k e ‘Flaming

“By the way. have you heard that

Oolle'en Moore is now being called
“The Morning Youth git-1'?"

together with no start to make a
story. They do make a story. of
course: they couldn’t help it. but
I mean that no attempt was made
to write a story around them.

"It's the picture that the Rock:
ett brethcrs have been working so
hard over. It's directed by Philip
Roses. and Dances Marion and
Harry Carr supervised it and she
did the scenario. It's marvelous.

"I saw it in a projection room.
without any music. and I’m thank-
ful that I saw it that way. because
I was so overwhelmed. and if
there had been music too I never

‘6 could have stood it.

"The picture begins with the
birth of Lincoln. and ends with his
death. The man who plays Lin-

:6oln as a man is simply wonderful

-—looks so much like him that you
don t. remember that he isn't Lin~
coin. and is big and awkward and
so convincing. He was bossing a
gang of laborers when they en-
gaged him for the part—had
never acted‘at all. That's one
reason why he's so good. I think.

"The rest of the cast is fine. too.
And the story couldn't be better
handled.

ing on a shovel. and as a young

"And when he dies it's one of
the most impressive things I've
ever seen on the screen. or on the
stage. either. for that matter. This
picture ought to cause a sensation.
It will have tremendous eduoer

worth as entertainment.
"Incidentally.“ is the realiza-

she certainly has done it. I think

it's one of the epoch-making
