New York, November 1, 191-5.
The wealth of artistic and smart
ideas in afternoon and street frocks
this seasoD, while fascinating, is
somewhat bewildering, ico. -
Of course the chief features are the
same, this is out of respect to Fash
ion's dictates, but there " i-re any
number of ways that one may vary
these uetails effectively to meet the
demands of one's own' personality.
Fashion shows are becoming as pop
ular, with 'women in general aj any
smart social event. The d inly man
nequins wear the clothes as if to
"The Manor Born" and perhaps a
bit more gracefully.
THE POPULARITY OF THE BOX COAT
Since the first "showing of fall and
winter fashions there has been much
discussion as to whether the regula
tion tailored suit" with normal waist
line, snugly fitted, would dominate:
at first it seemed as if it would, but
sicne then there has been a decided
change toard the s looser, belted
models, unbelted coats with a half
suggestion of waistline, or stranger
still, no waist at all, a return in
short to the box coat.
iliese oox models are., now very
smart indecd; they appear in tailor
madejsuits, separate coats and fur
coats. Most oi ine tur coats, in
fact, show the box back, even if the
front of the coat is. belted.
The efface of toe?? unfitted coats
is a bit more youthful than, the. fitted
lines, which demand beauty and
grace of figure. The French wom
an appreciates the line tbat is most
becoming to her figure, and in most
instances this is the straight line
Among the new frocks and suu3
there are are. too, boleros and Etons
that are really quite charming
These also are becoming to the av
erage figure.
One seen at a recent fashion show
was of cold lace, combined with
black charmeuse; it wTas on an after
noon frock, and was simple to a de
gree, but unusually attractive. An
other of dark blue serge was made
with square cut yoke, back and
front, to which the lower portion of
the Eton was gathered, forming a
wonderful harvests. Among the
most popular furs for trimming pur
poses are beaver, seal and krimmer.
The . dark blue serge js smartened
with a touch of natural gray krim"
mer, and the satin finished broad
cloth ."is enriched 'by narrow and
wide bands cf seal or beaver.
INTERESTING SKIRT LENGTHS -
v e have become- accustomed to
the shor; street suitimd fiock; when
no; carried to the extreme, it is far
more, satisfactory than a tang" skirt,
especially, with the vogue of the very
viie skirt. We have become used
also Xo- the round length evening
frock for dancing, and approve of
ts comfortable .common sense but
thev formal dinner frock with its
slinky, pointed train, and its ex
tremely short front is somewhat dis
concerting. One unusually striking
model exhibited lately, developed in
wonderful brocade of Biachim's,
was made with one of these extreme-
y short, skirts a.id a long pointed,
tram; although rich and wonderful.
