Boyish Phase Returns With Dash

NEW YORK. Dec. 17.—(U.R) Talk about the adapt ibtlity O s women and the fluctuations of fashion values! No sooner have we readjusted ourselves to the feminine in fashions after the dreary war years when masculine stylos wen . the vogue than we are asked to step out of character again ami back into boyish clothes. Boyish they are, rather than mannish, tor it is in the swagger little short tacketed suits, the shirtwaists with leather belts about their slim waistlines

.hat this phase manifests itself. There is again a feeling for the tailed details so beloved of the outdoor be she old or young. Every detail goes with the personality of the modem girl, who is bound to rejoice over the privilege of shedding her ruffles and fur-belows to become , hoy again as to tweeds, ties, leather begs and shirts that tuck out of sight as shirts should. To burst forth from the limitations o( such a costume into the extravagances ot what she wears at night certaiu makes for something of a Vhange if not a thrill and thrills are the daily diet of the modern girl. For all its boyish phase, the sports tuit goes in for color and is often chosen in light weight woolens since his in these weaves that color is ww t lavishly employed. Such woolens are virtually in competition with silks, since wiseacres predict a vogue for the silk suit for southern wear.
