TO matter how democratic you ine, socially, or howe farly you believe in the brotherhood of man, you mant look like an aristocrat this year-if you want to look smail..

The peasant influence in cloiles is waning. You must somehow acquire, if you do not postess at natally, a m tain exclusiveness, yes, even snobbishners about your clothes. You must ruggest a dignified formality and an exclusive- ness that indicates plainly you do not rub shoulders with

everyone.

Gone now is the breeziness, the casualness and the utter democracy of clakes. Format fashions are the order of the day stained elegance that bespeaks the satoially ⚫ comicious. This is indicated in the longer silhouette, mone 'sophisticated and less easily copied lines, and richer, lers olivious materials and a more subtle feeling for colors.

AND Ive is something you might just as well face now - woman needs more than a slender fogne for the w -clothes--she needs a graceful, queenly carriage and a hody that moves with harmony and thython. Any stiffness or lack of grace interferes with the flow and the continuity of the line.

You can be ever so slender, but unless you have the sup pleness of the panther, you still have something to achieve.

Nothing is more deceiving than the simple looking frock, that is a puzzle of intricate cutting, and a triumph of geo- metrical incrustations effective when it is right, and so meaningless when it is not.

Nothing is more delightful to the eye than the skirt with an irregular line if it conveys the feeling of motion and movement, and nothing less interesting if it just hangs in meaningless scallops.

The models illustrated here were selected for their el- fectiveness and the way in which they present the cO'Y theories.

1. THE importance of more grows, and such erre

bles as this one from Pátou contribute to the growth. It is in the popular black and white combination. The skirt and coat are, made of very heavy black mire, lori- zontally corded, combined with a blouse of white maro. cain with delightful lingeric touches and a white flower an the shoulder. You will notice that the flared skit gains much chic by introducing the extra width very low, keeping to a very youthful and slender silhouette thereby.

II. FROM Florence Walton, formerly a dancer, now Patis modiste, comes this very challenging cha- prau of green felt with a brim cut so that it is flatteringly. wide at the sides and folded into a mere nothing over the eyebrow for the woman with melting eyes, this hat is guaranteed to be becoming in the extreme. The crown. 'you will notice fits like the proverbial glove..

III. IN this black alle dinner ensemble from Patou notice the artistry of the form-fitting bodice that closely defines the slender hips, and the graceful sweep of the skirt. The harmony which the French people love is indicated in the sleeveless cost of unlined tulle, trimmed with the same bands of the material that outline the bodice. Tulle used to suggest the ballet dancet, or the debutante with ruffles and frills. Here it is handled as if it were any other material, and is positively tailored. Now smart, sophisticated women are wearing tulle and making it one of the most popular of evening materials.

IV. WORTH has considered the aristocrat and the perfect lady in this new creation of heavy pink crepe de chine with a wrap-over blouse, trimmed with Breton lace dyed to match the silk, and the circular skirt that is cut so full that it looks like a pleated madel.

A delightful corsage of lowers thading from gray to rose is worn at the shoulder. Not in many seasons have you seen such a complete surrender by fashion arbiters to the eternal feminine.

V. ONE can always depend upon Jenny for the sort of feminin: Frocks that defy analysis, and he has not failed us in this ensemble of light blue crepe marocain, with incrustations of pink crepe and the exquisitely fine drawn work. Only a maler hand could have contrived the kit fulness and the exquisitely femining coat sleeves. This is an outfit for a young woman, and a fair one. VI. WORTH has contrived this evening gown to look simple, but close observation proves it to be de- cidedly intricate. The material is most unusual and exotic white groigette crepe with a design in red, green and blue, as well as one figure in dull gold threads. The blouse is cut almost like a sport dress with its jabot, and the front part of the skirt is in harmony. The long sides, however, and the sash of twisted velvet in brows and green bring in the new note,
