From the ear lier Paris oiK'iiings, many .shiiuuent* of suits and gowns have already come to New York, making it 'quite clear to see what the general trend of the fash ions is to he. ? The slllioutte lias not undergone any revolutionary change. There is a quiet dignity and simplicity about the styles, in which we notice that Fashion has taken Moderation to he her watchword. At least for a while ? who can say for how long? ? she seems to have given up everything that savqrs of exaggeration. Having realized that the extreme short ness of the skirts was too oxage rated, she has ordained ttvat skirts shall he longer. The average length of the skirt to-day Is about six inches from the floor.. There are some- lHi r Is houses which have gone' to the oilier extreme, vhowever, and have ipade drosses with skirts that readb the floor, but the ma jority of them have struck a happy me dium, and it is not at all likely that the days of trailing skirts will come back again. Dresses, too, are free, from that extravagant flare which characterized them before, and for the attainment of which we often had to resort to artl flclal means. This season the flare Is conspicuous for Its absence, one might say, for most of the dresses hang la [ straight, soft folds. Nothing has been j taken from the width of the skirts. <?> McCaXXi The Straight JLines of New Silhouette They are Just as ample, and the skirt that measures ttorn three to three and a half yards around the hem is stllT Considered a conservative width. Although the straight effects predom inate in the more practical styles, in afternoon and evening dresses there are some soft draperies to be seen. Ap ron effects, too, in the form of soft pleated or gathered bits of the mater ialj hang loosely in front of some of the dresses. The waistline in the .new fashions is. generally in the normal position where nature meant it to be, but it will prob ably not be stationed there for any length of time. There have been not a few examples of the low waist of thel Moyen Age and this seems to be gain-' ing popular favor at a great rate. A good many one-piece dresses are made with the skirt attached at a low waist* line, and a girdle i* either tied loosely at that point or arranged at the normal Une. The silhouette of the hour Is wt*ll de picted in the illustration of the one piece frock shown here. The design la such that It may be>Aeveloped in two materials If desired. The gathered side sections of the skirt, as well 'as th? sleeves and side body, might be of sat in and the remainder of the dress of serge. Bone buttons form a straight tinbroken line down the front from col lar to hem. The collar la open at the throat, for women seem to prefer the open nec? to the high, even for autumn We*r WITH MRS. van ; TBBSCKOW. \ vH TheHobklrk Hill Chapter will meat-' on* Thursday Oct 5 if 5 P.
