ug,-,.ry\\'ilere one sees new clothes. M gr,-l glance they seem quite like the mod.. or yesterday-and one resolves ,lm firmness to wear the things left over. One looks again, relates n writer U, 5,"-pcr's Bazar, and discovers a dun-»rl~|n-1- which lies not in the out- mag pai in a host of clever. artfully plum.-il details--and _one’s resolution mga on wings. yn style all frockn are slim and sim- ple-or at least they give that impres- sion. The skirts are of the well-known ah,,|,|,|,-" type. but they have all the ¢¢|||¢h|a and one nf the regrets of the bobble we used to struggle with so vnlluntly. instead of the uncomforta- bly close confines of other days, the new skirts are so skillfully folded and dnpotl that though the slender lines U, scrupulously maintained, the wear- er has -plenty of room in which to 'brave the eurbstones! , _ _
Waiotllnes are indeed capricious, for while some reach aspiring heights, others startle with their length. A few staid and sober ones insist on being normal. (lf glrdles there are a-plenty. If one would have the swnihlng kind _.und one surely will-remember that it begins at ilu- nornml walstline and ig draped to give the effect of a long. slender waist.

HENOVATING THE “HARD” HAT
Home Milliner can Remedy Defects
sad Make Top Piece Stylish '
l and Becoming.
No-woman can well afford to make herself look "hard," and there is noth- ing that will do it quicker. than a "hard," hat. You know the kind, mas- culine and unbending in every line. Perhaps you have made an unfortun- ste purchase* of the kind. So these general hints on renovating may help. Usually the unbecomlngucsa of this type of lint centers lu the crown. which may he too tall or unbecoming- ly stiff, or both. The home miliiner can remedy both those things by re- placing the stiffened side of the crown with a softer material like satin su- _llque, which is ever so modlah tor hill .lust now, or with velvet. Usual- ly it is advisable to use the old “lid” of the crown for a ntay. Now cl! your new material of the desired height and halt as long again as the circumference of the "iid.” Gather it on a cord and secure to the latter. After that you can shir it both for
:ie sake of shape and for decorative-
oss.
Another remedy for the harsh crown lumcllllyfnntl one almost universally h°°""ll|lll. is to 'replace halt the side of the crown and the lid with the mlm! .Vieldy material. According to _this method. you will slice off the tnp of thc crown und as much of the aids ls.wili give you u becoming crown lielght. Then gather the new mate- rial ns install. it simplifies the work t" '10 U10 gathering on a little disk of the former stiffer stuff. `

History has been ransnckcd for three
years for inspiration, strange _to re- cord, when one realizes that a few decades from now fashion will proba- _hly start in to register the impres- -sions ot these days. and throughout all the ages to come, if there are such things as fashions for women, those who build them will go to this era of world-wut' as an aid to _iaded brains.

‘ We Turn' to England. I ’l‘here was once a time, in the he ,glnning of the Consulate. when fash- lion in Paris was turned toward the ancient enemy across the channel and l».»rrowed ideas for dress. This was _`tl~»ne in a spirit of pt-rverslty by 'cer- ‘ tain sections of-society; but the Paris ‘designers now turn there in a diifeb ent spirit--one of intense gratitude and friendliness, and instead of look- l pig among present fashions for inspire- itlnn, knowing full well by practical :evidence that they are Parisian. Sl1¢ lhas gone back to British history- ` Later she may remember Mesopotamia land Palestine, and linking them to !Alienby and Marshall, swirl back to I Holy Land costumery.
l At the moment she is interested in _eras of which she has thought little land cared less. it seems a strange
,thing that the temperamcntal design- ,ers of Paris. on whom the world de- pends for tho movement of the season in clothes, should revive the fahhlurll of Cromwell. Curious _inxtapositlon of ideas. None has ever arisen lu French history who could he likened to this Puritan. and we may find the reason for this singular recrudcsceuce in the pleasant fact that Cromwell wasssnd- wiched between two Charleses whose

These. also, were battlemented at the hem, while ours are not, but they also showed the full sleeves of the shirt beneath. In those days the man chose the undcrslllrt in broad vellow and red-barred stripes.

One reason put forward for the vogue for mittens is that one cannot carry a mul! and carry a bag, and - every patriotic woman simply must? carry a bag these days. Another rea- son, and one that holds true of the woman of moderate income, is that _ fur is high and a new mutt' is out of the question. Then a lot of women are doing outdoor work who never did it before. They are exposed to the cold nipping air of moming and evening on their way to and from vol- | unteer. or paid work. They drive automobiles and "conduct" street cars - sud uct as messenger boys and collect bills, and for this work they need to have s protection for their hands that is more substantial than the kid glove
or fabric glove of other days.
Hence the mitten!
The prediction was made some
months ago that the smartly dressed woman would be wearing shaggy sn- i gore gloves and mittens and some peo- 1 ple shrugged their shoulders sud felt sure that there was nothing that would tempt the well-dressed woman sway _ from the conventional kid. Surely the fact that they had almost doubled in price would not have this effect on_ the,-woman who took dressing serious- | ly. But the _vogue has come, and Q vvhers well-dressed women srs seen' in outdoor sttiro there one also sees _ woolen gloves and woolen mittens. They are made in the gsyest colors, often to match a woolen scarf or cap. sud as the season advances they will be even more in evidence than they
are now. ~

So when you go out to buy your winter outfit. sny to yourself that warmth is the fashion; that protection to the body by proper sppurci is smart; that pcliry. velours, quilted linings, high shoes, big neck- pieces, rnuffs for the hands. and even toot warmers for the feet, are the very height of style.
