"RAGE TWO INEVENING GOWNS Frocks Designed From Fashions Worn Long Ago. Generous Puffs, Hoops and Trailing Ribbons Characteristic of the Revolutionary Period. This winter many girls will enjoy an experience which probably they never thought would be theirs, namely, that of finding themselves robed in evening frocks fashioned from styles worn in the picturesque days of long ago. For what miss who has studied the delightful fashion plates of the splendid and beauty-loving court of the French Louis, and those of the gracious days of the colonial period, has not privately wished that she might bedeck herself in some of these quaintly charming costumes of past epochs? If she is a practical person, she realizes that such gowns would seem ridiculous in the daily life of the twentieth century, because of their generous puffs, hoops and trailing rib- bons; but, happily, there is the eve- ning occasion which makes such elab- orate modes a possibility. This season’s evening frocks, then, will be replete with crinolines, panniers, hoops and all the exquisite touches which characterized the revolutionary period; and, therefore, the waistlines on these gowns will be slender and tapering, ending in a billow of bouf- fant skirts. A wild variety of materials will be used in their manufacture, se- lected from radium taffeta, net, lace, satin, and the rich brocades which are 80 closely connected with this period. Dresden taffetas and bunches of nar- row velvet will be used skillfully, as :finishing touches to these frocks. For the woman who prefers a more conservative style, the season offers a choice of clinging, silhouette models, beautifully draped in long, straight lines which end in graceful trains. . These gowns are trimmed with span- gles, when rich ornamentation is de- sired, or with simpler accessories such as ostrich feathering, tulle and bril- lant touches of brocaded velvet or figured satins, as girdles, or showing between two loose folds of the skirt. For the girl who loves fluffy evening e frocks, there will be a dainty assort- Delightful Frock for the Dance. ment of billowy gowns, made of net and draped over radium satin. Ruf- fles are used as edging for the over- skirts and are made into simple bod- fces and are made really lovely when selected in delicate shades of Nile green, orchid, peach, apricot, or Alice blue. Draped skirts are also being supple- mented by the loose, trouser-effect which is now hecoming popular, and overskirts of fringe are appearing from France. Some of the waists are of the surplice basque model, having either short sleeves or an absence of shoulder drapery. WEAR OR NOT WEAR CORSET? French Fashions Are Being Watched With Eagerness as to Final Out- ! come in Spring. Not only have the fashion shows staged In this country suggested the possibility that there may arise a de- mand for a corset which holds the figure firmly in place, with a slight emphasis on a marked walstline, but the French openings, with recurrent stress on the “smoothly fitted bod- ice,” also suggest a departure from the easy, so-called “corsetless figure,” which has held sway for so long a time. It will be Interesting to follow the season with an eye to its ultimate effect on corset fashions, possibly in the spring. Whether it will be the smaller group, with the easy, comfort- able figure, to which the American woman has apparently become at- tached, judging from a five-years’ ad- herence to it, or the newer and larger school, which takes its inspiration from the eighteenth century is hard B 7 predict at this time. officers know that this is the exact reverse of the truth, and that I was ‘not In harmony with the department’ because I continually urged certain meas- They also know that these measures were afterward adopted, and that it was because they were adopted that the navy was well prepared for war and well handled during the war. my family and to the navy to state the exact facts of the case, and with such follness as the small limits of a hook permit; this I do.” ures of preparedness. AGAINST HIM. A prominent Boston Inwyer has & 10-year old son who seems to be treading quite closely in his father’s footsteps. One day the boy told a falsehood about some boyish scrape, and his father took him aside to lec- ture him on the wickedness of not telling the truth. He told him the story of George Washington and the cherry tree. “Now, Roger,” he concluded, “don’t you think that George was brave as well as truthful to own up to doing the deed? Give me your opinion, my son.” “Well,” said Roger, seriously, *“I think that the only thing he could de was to plead guilty. You see, pa, the evidence was all against him. He owned the hatchet.” ° A Remedy. “See here, Bridget, the dishes you've put on the table of late have been posi- tively dirty. Something's got to be done about it.” “Thrue for ye, ma'am. If ve only had dark-colored ones, they wouldn’t show the dirt at all.” The Cause of Poverty. Little Arthur—Father, why are so many people poor?
