American Sugar Refining Company “Sueeten it with Doming” G 3 Tablet, Powdered There are ways galore of produc- ing the uneven skirt hem. And seemingly none of thess methods have been overlooked this spring. Among spring collections of gowns, both of French make and of American. one has sometimes been able to count those that ended in the old-time even line around the bot- tom, while the uneven sort have pre- vailed. Perhaps most usual are those that show the short skirt with a con- cession to longer lines in side drap- ery that extends below the bottom of the skirt. Sometimes this is mere- Iy in the form of lace wings at the side. adding_ slight bouffancy as well as length of line to the short, scant skirt beneath. Even frocks frankly of the second empire or Louis Philippe period— periods both when the straight line at the bottom of the skirt prevailed —show a scalloped or slashed line. Even Line Not Difcult. Apparently the ability to give a skirt an even line at the bottom is no longer one that taxes the talents of dressmakers to any great extent. The short. scant skirt hangs straight and is not difficult, especially in T T PR pR— fuctionens | oy these days of the straight figures that call for little more length at ithe hips than in front. Bouffanc: where it exists is added to our skirts as panuiers or overdrapcry. The foun- dation skirt is seldom distended. The circular skirt one of the things concerning which those who have studied the new French clothes seem most uncertain. While it has appeared with several of the big dressmakers. no one has given a leading role. The sagging tenden- cies of the circular skirt always stand out as a stumbling block in the way of its general popularity. This year the sagging line at the lower edge would hardly be objected o. Premet has especially sponsored a fairly full. somewha: circular skirt that frankly sags at the back. This, like other uneven skirts when done in heavier materials, gives oppor- tunity for the effect gained by the use of skirt facings. Irregular Skirts Are Interesting. One of the objections most usually offered to the long full skirt as a Successor to the tight short skirt is that that tvpe of skirt is far too demure to satisfly women who have become accustomed 1o the shortest skirts that have ever been sponsored by civilized fashion.

This little deception Is much harder to practice when tha profile is under ob- servation, for the profile is mostly features and very little expression. But I do not mean that the profile cannot be fmproved or changed. A certain amount of deception be practiced even with the profile.

A short eyebrow. which looks much worse from the side face than the full face. can be encouraged to grow in a long line with the aid of proper| tonics.
