PANIERS HEE DECREE OF STYLE Fabrics for the Proper Expres- sion of the New Gown Are Shown, CALL IT “PAHN-EE-AY.” Then the Panier Coat Is the Craze of the Moment and Is Real Smart. One meets the panier which ever way one turns, It is the feature of impor- j tance at the exclusive openings; it orna- ments the pages of publications sacred {to affairs sartorial; 1t blossoms forth windows of greater and lesser | Shops; It has even appeared on the | street; for some daring young women ‘In panier gowns of rather extreme type were almost mobbed by @ curious and critical crowd the other day. And with | the entrance of the panter has sprung up a host of fabrics for its proper ex- | pression—iovely silken stuffs in taffeta, satin and faille weaves, and tub fabri ‘sprinkled over with quaint, old timey | flower patterns. | As curly as last September a few | couturiers began tentatively to loop the 8 of tunics under—and be it reco; jnized that any skirt drapery, looped | under, ceases to be a tunic and becomes limmediately a panier. Keep this idea {firmly in mind and you will see many paniers where the panier suggestion | never occurred to you before. For ex- | ample, the Callot Socurs frock of prune colored cloth-back eatin, illustrated, 1s 4 model brought out last autumn and ts one of the earliest panier creations. Though the panier suggestion in this frock {s very slight indeed, the long tunic being merely looped under and attached to the skirt at back and sides, the panier is none the less definite and marks the beginning—in the mind of the | great couturier—of a new era in skirt drapery, PANIER MAY BE MADE A WEL. COME CHANGE. One may loop up the drapery ae bigh ‘on the skirt aseone pleases, and of course the higher {t {8 looped the more bouffant becomes the effect and the more exaggerated the panier. When the drapery is lifted to the hips and the skirt Ddeneath fs tied in with a broad sash the bizarre and grotesque effect with which caricaturists have alarmed conservative souls 1s produced; but the panter, when artistically de- signed, 1s really a graceful skirt drap- ery and a welcome change from the pipestem skirts which have been #0 trying to over-thin and over-plump con- tours. The panter—and, by the way, one says ‘“pahn-ee-ay" and pronouaces the first syllable in a long, Bostonese man. ner and not in the way a pan used in the Kitchen is pronounced—is usually of a material contrasting strikingly with the mat o The “flowered fabrics have come Into their own with the estab in the TOBACCO Its the sure “BIG SMOKE P and the big, chew i¢,in Quantity, ness, et nn te re new mode, and gharming Dolly Var- den frocks with Nowered panters looped over plain colored pettic have ‘oused interest at the important open- ings.
