FASHION NOTES.
The Length of the Skirt.
The wottling still remains a moveable function. Some of the designers place it high in front, and dipping down behind. Others shorten the bust, so that the skirt shali appear longer and gooi deal more impressive. The Em pire waintline looks pretty for ovening, and for the very young and very slender.
Somo experiments with the lower waist have been made, and the lower waist, of course, in much more suitable to a stouter Ögure. Every woman of tuale will, of course, collect what she finds best suited to herself out of all this variety,

The distinction be- tween the two styles shows Itself this senson in the length of skirt. For the afternoon and evening. they come down to the ankle or touch the ground. For morning wear they are twelve inches off the floor, and eight inches for the practient dress for general wear,

Crepe georgette is combined with lace in this Jean Patou blouse model. The sleeves are slit at the back and the tiny kilted edging is an additional fantasy.
By Jean Patou.]
For many years the blouse was considered merely as a necessary accessory to the tailored suit, It provided a sufficiently feminine note to offset any severity of cut or fabric.
fumipesa
and fantway that is intended by the couturier, and which is characteristic of this type of dress. Here the blouse intervenes with its note of freshness and dainiiness, but I am altogether against too exaggerated a fantasy which would create a discord rather than a harmony. In principle a fussy blouse is best suited to a fussy fabric and never tones in нn well with what we call classical materials. It merely needs a little planning to complete a tailleur with a blower that will be in perfect accord with the whole scheme of cut and fabric. There are an infinite number of ways in which open- work effects, plating, rallies, and lace insertions can be vuried and combined to make a blouse different in as many degrees of in- formality or dressiness to suit type of talleur.
Where the afternoon ensemble created on the three-piece theme is concerned, the role of the blouse is altogether more than that of itself by independenes of cut or trimming, but must complete the other two pieces, although the sult itself has to fall back on the blouse to supply the note of contrast.
The blouse must be original, but more in the spirit of a dress than of a blouse. I mean by this that its cut should be studied and made to harmonize with that of the two other pieces, The blouse of a three-pices ensemble, therefore, should show less detail or lingerie work but an infinitely more intriente cul.
The question of colour is an important ono too. The venerul trend toward departure from too dark and too sombre ensembles for town wear made it necessary to have the blouse supply the light note. You will recall that the first ensembles created in this veln ahowed Tight lame blouses or tunics. Lame is very much less used nowadays but the same principle of a relieving note is being followed, with blouses now being shown in brilliant and light coloured satin. Although white is always perfect with black or dark blue, many of the smart afternoon ensembles sponsor light green, blue or even yellow satin blouses that strike a very new note.
