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. Es: 33...! ll? ole. ’c‘.‘ v.

Evening Gowns of Today Would Have Been Negligess of Yester- day. “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 The sketch shows one of these impromptu looking evening gowns. exquisitely simple. It is of pistache green with an interesting nounce that is gathered at the front and perfectly plain at the back. A 7 is of flesh-colored tulle. ' WISE.

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