NEW STYLES AND CRIME WAWES. ‘Loose Empire Gowns, Which Suggest Hig-| less Cut, Belong to.the-Most-Notort- ous Epochs of Civilization. By Nixola Greeley -Smith. said Mii = beth A.C. White to they embattled dressmakers at! Masonic Temple, in explaining: the! new. hipless figure, “are demoral-| izing to young men. One of. the} chief reasons for holding this con- vention is to further morality by{ doing away with suggestive fig- ures in women. Hips must go to} put a stop to immorality ! “Look at your crime waves, They h been caused largely by the — exaggerated —-immodesty —of woman's dress. The néw fashion? is the only way to put an end to} temptation. “If we hadn't come here with; this reform in dress, in five years! the country would have been un- would have been demoralized. A woman might as well dermined. wear no clothes at all as go about in those tight-fitting, serpentine effects that were all the rage last season.” | All of which 1s plausible enough. Personally I fail to see anything It shocking in’ the recent fashions Njss White denounces. But whatever one's view of the tight-fitting gown may be, a brief review of the history! of fashion indicates that in this case the remedy is fdr worse than the} disease. EMPIRE GOWNS’ ANTECEDENTS. The loose empire gowns which in a modified form Miss White pro- poses as a first aid to virtue in man belonged to one of-the most notorious- ly immoral epochs of hittory—the Directolre and Empire. periods. They in turn originated in the craze for everything classic| which followed the French revolution. And of course, in the classic era morals were a luxury which only a few philosophers permitted themselves. The hipless gown, by which Miss White expects to straizhtiacket the morals of the community, was the invention of an age when Anthony Com-| stock would have had to work overtime to regulate the morals of a single | block. It leaves everything to the imagination, and {s therefore far more! dangerous than one of those jelly-mould confections that leave nothing at all to imagine. STRAIGHT LINE SHORTEST WAY. If the subjugation of man be the object of feminine clothes, it seems to be that in this as in everything else a straight line {s the shortest dii tance between two points. The gown that suggests {s worth far more than the one which boldly outlines, and every woman !n filmy drapery is a Winged Victory. The tight-fitting, taflor-made sult with {ts carefully upholstered| shoulders, -buckramedbreast_and—heavily—paddedsides,ts-no—more wug-} gestive than the suits of armor hanging in an armorial hall. Nothing more nearly justifies Burton’s much-quoted aphorism, “To the pure everything !s !mpure,” than talk about the modesty or immodesty of fashions. Anything is modest that {s universally worn or dispenaed with. Modesty {s entirely a matter of time and custom, as any woman who wore a low-necked ball gown on the beach in the morning or a short-skirted bathing sult in the ball-room at night would read in the horrified Weece of the beholder. HIP!ESS LADY OR LADY HIPPO. The difference in man’s viqw of the hipless lady or the Indy hippo will be entirely regulated by thé comparative cost of her gowns Miss Elizabeth A. C. White is herself a stout woman, and naturally shares the stout woman's obsession that the surest, shortest way of win- ning the game of hearts {s to pitch a curved ball—the wider the better. But the effect of the new fashion on morals will not, in my opinion, Lhe appreciable. The crime waye will haye its high and low tides, trre- spective of the hipless frock, The only influence it will have will be bene- ficlal In nding joy and comfort through the hapless, hipless hitherto hopeless Jadies who may now rejoice in the possession of the new living- exclamation-point figure. 1 Ww.
