Longer Silhouette Is Here new YORK, May 28.—(U.K—It in fairly w<4l accepted that the longer Ihouette is here. When one says “longer silhouette" today, it does not reL („ th- skirt length excluslvaly, but Includes the effect of increased length L prince--s lines and the low placed fulness create. [ Actually, of course, the Inches that are added to the skirt length, are Llamentally important even though they are only two or three, and soincLs are apparent only In spots, achieved by the Irregular hemline. The
Kjse<l waistline has to be considered L as another factor in the process ■ elongating the effect of skirts. They ■feet other parts of the ensemble, ■rticalarly footwear. ■ Definite changes are gradually L jng felt in footwear styles, occa■oned by the change in effect caused L the lengthened skirt. Since the Kg expanse is shortened below the 1,,,., by these skirts there is acerlin inclination to produce an effect f length by wearing low-cut step-ins r pumps. These added Inches —from rch to top of the slipper over the istep—unmistakably gives the effect f a longer leg-line, which the strapp(l slipper would not do. When long lines are in vogue, as ley are now, the tendency is to mphasize them by every ruse. It s this law which makes the darker locking rather than the bright confast of the skin-tone types more eneraly favored now, with a cont inance indicated for fall, when the anger skirt will be even more firmly jtabllshed. The darker hosiery hade, which is still not too dark, lerges with the dress more completely so that an effect of a continued, unbroken line appears. An interest in darker hosiery is reported from Paris which seemed !o give up with reluctance the here:ofore omnipresent flesh shades.
