It is a catch phrase of the -dvertisement writers and sales- women. Every once in a while in the course | apparent, Back in the nineties when the “shirt waist” first came into vogue they talked of masculine fashions— though wasp waists and wide, full skirts were taken as a matter of course and even the mannish shirt waists were made with balloon sleeves. Turning back the pages of historic costumery you find these recurrent waves of masculinity in women's dress— in the sixties, in the forties, at the time of the Directoire fashions. And 200 years ago the masculine mode was expressed in coats and walstcoats of blue camelot, trimmed with silver em- broidery, smartly cocked beaver hats cdged with silver, and hair curled and powdered hanging down on the shoul- ders and tled “like that of a rakish young gentleman, with nothing but the full long skirt by which the sex could be_recognized.” Then, as recently, the masculine mode caused alarm. What would it lead to? Would things go from bad to worse until finally there would be no difference at all, with nothing be- tween men's and women's attire? But always just as the objectors become quite feverishly excited, fashion wearies of her prank. EXxit the masculine mode —and more feminine fashions return. And just a few seasons ago there were people who really took the dinner coat for women seriously and some alarmists felt that it was just the be- ginning of the end of the more femi- nine type of evening dress. To be sure, there are still dinner coats—but they are made of silver or lace and bear precious little resemblance to their masculine prototype. We hear of the new bosom front, which suggests a detail of mnstminvl attire. But don't be alarmed. it is nothing of the sort—merely a variety of the deep U neckline with a bit of yoke arranged beneath. For your daughter—be she 2 or be ghe 12.
