POCKETS RETURN TO FAVOR

Women Will Welcome Change In Fashion That Has Marked Tendency to Increase Comfort. Frivoline, in L’Art et la, Mode, speaks of the fashion of pockets. “We are going to have pockets again,” she writes, “which is a logical outcome of the return to short dresses that demand absolute freedom of movement and liberty, in view of the simple life we are adopting. “Pockets already existed, numerous and of all sizes, in our tailored coats, but this summer it is on our skirts themselves that, varied, embroidered or plain, little or big, we must have them. For the moment they are very apparent, marked by stitching or a little braid; generally they are rounded and placed very near the waist line. “Others, more amusing, accompanying the robes of blue serge, are placed a little further back on each hip, like the flying pockets of the Brittany and Normandy fisher folk. It is a very good way to bring last year’s skirts up to date, if they are too narrow."
