I \BW YORK, May 15- —(U.RI-The princess silhouete has been mentioned I varying degree* of enthusiasm In Paris collections for the past five l J There have been all sorts of fashion innuendo leading up to It, as iT frank conceptions, but this mid-seasons opening reports as regards K*r<>cks ard coats see an almoat unanimous promotion of it among the I" lcr!l BUC h doseriptions as “fitted lines” occurring even in sportswear. I \ ' lias been stated many times, the princess version of today is entirely

■ .he mood of the modern silhouette. ■ definitely THE silhouette of ■Lt fashions, whether in the modMF, lines that are employed for day- ■' coats and frocks, or the more ■rent" lines that are permissible ■ evening. It “ not being discussed K as < new ,henw since 118 a ‘ ■* V accepted in the fashions of the ■rent season and being sponsored ■ <ome of the smartest women, not ■ in evening types, but in street ■ sports clothes. The reason that ■h re emphasized here is because ot ■ strong bearing on fall fashions, ■ecially those of formal mood. Style ■horities here as well as those who Kd in-Paris trends have given it Kphatic endorsement. ■it is a vital factor in the success ■ the full silhouette that the fulness ■diet and practically every mention ■ low placed. Paris re-asserts this K Hares and fulness is concerned Kth this low placed line. It is so E s y to understand why this “low Eared" decision is so important since E performs the miracle of keeping ■ silhouette slim and narrow, and Et th esame time removing the moEoton.v of the unrelieved straight and ■arrow skirt. ■ The silhouette that has low placed Elness retains the youthfulness that ■as always one of the mainstays of Ke straight silhouette, the fulness King disposed of in different ways. Ether all around, or at the front or ■ark only. ■ It is the point in this discussion ■o mention that back fulness is retiring the most attention, according Ko the opening reports, and is similEly interpreted in terms of low plac■j fulness. | Most of these new presentations of ■low placed fulness are worked out ■in godets, a treatment that has been ■rat evident in coats, but which, up Ito the present, had pleats to compete ■with in dresses. ■ TRI KAPPAS ■ HOLD MEETING I Mrs. Herman Myers was hostess Ito the Tri Kappa sorority last eve- | ning. at her home on North Fifth ■ street.
