CHANGE IN SHOULDER LINE

Present Mode for Gowns Is a Marked Departure From of Seasons.

Once on a tim£ a gown whose shoultier seam extended beyond the actual line of the shoulder would have been returned to the dressmaker as a careless fit. At present, however, the shoulder line that is one-half or threequarters way down to the elbow Is the only fashionable kind. This gives a narrowed appearance to the top of the waist, which is so much sought after just now. The whole silhouette is straight and narrow. The lines which the coroetieres aim for are straight and unbroken from' shoulder line to hip, ending with a swirled-in appearance around the ankles. Gowns for afternoon and evening wear that follow thege lines have strange little tails attached in the form of trains, which are quite as likely to come from the front or side as from the back.
