Weekly Fashiorr Article J BY Ll'CILH BUCHA/NAN '??* Fashion Editor of Harpe^jt Bazar | (By Special Arrangement Between The Brevard Ne-ws and Harper's Bazar ? Copyright, 1927) New York, Feb. 14 ? There was a time, not so many, seasons ago. when the mode was a slippery elus ive thing-, here today and gone to morrow. PaH| launched one idea after another; silhouettes were made and marred in a few months. A silhouette one had achieved by diet, and the help of what we then called a "little girdle," became out of fashion almost ovefnight. Skirts descended, or ascended in the length of time it took a steamer to cross the Atlantic. Waist-line.? were capricious bounds, determined by Paris, at practically a moments notice. When this line poised for n 'fleeting season just below our arm-pits, our silhouette was known as Directoire; when it hovered around our knees our silhouette be came Russian. The Smart Womail Insists Although rather hard on the hu man figure, this was a splendid stat* of affairs, because it made the mode an exciting thing for designers and shops ? and fashion writers ? to launch with a flourish. There was drama in fashion then and cataclys mic happenings. The mode has now become a sub tle thing of attitudes and fine grad ations. For three seasons, the sil houette has remained practically un changed. The easy-to-wear costume, with the waist-line plaeed slightly below normal, at the hip-bones, the skirt short, the lines of the figure defined and flattered, is perfectly suited to our present day mode of life and we continue to demand it. Every season there have been at tempts on the part of a few Pari? houses to reintroduce the normal waist-line. They know that the re turn of the normal waist-line means the return of the corset, in some modified form perhaps, but undoubt ly the return of the corset, and they prefer their present unstaved free dom and reft?re to he "nipped" in at the waist, even ever so slightly. . SpTrtt Idea Dominant i; Th" sp#rts idea that has influ enced our j entire wardrobe, including our eVeiing clothes, indicates the attitude di the times. This is due, of course,' to the rapidity with which life and events now move. Occas ions and happening? have become , n;oi'e important than the clothes we wear to them. Smart women 'think more of how they wear their clothes , than what they wear. The sports type of costume is now worn by the smartest women of Europe on every conceivable occa sion. This is a highly sophisticated type of costume although it appears to be so simple. It iriefins^li simple frock of perfect line and impeccable : workmanship, a tiny hat cut with every ounce of ingenuity and clev- 1 erriess that Paris knows, a scrap of felt or straw with all the accumulat ed knowledge of generations of French modistes twisted into it, a wrap of exactly the right line, tex- J turc and color to harmonize or , match the frock. This is the basic structure of the costume, the very beginning from which a success may ; be made. Upon this structure the smart woman individualizes her cos tume by means of accessories. j Accessories now have reached a point of sophistication and refine ment that is an art quite by itself, i Accessories may match, but not ? match too well, or one is suspected j of buying them in sets; they must be choscn with exquisite care, and | then give the resulting effect of be ing casually worn. The slightly mannish note that is ( almost inevitable in the sports cos tume must not be too mannish. To be "La Garconne" is now demode and is left to spirited local flappers. The successful "costume com pleti'" is a unity of design, color, fabric, and carefully chosen acces sories. It is *horn of all unnneces sary "fancyn.jw" and prettiness. It in as near well-groomed perfection as indefinite patience, taste, discrim ination, and modern workmanship can make it.
