FALL SKIRTS ALSO NARROW

Advance Models From Paris Follow Spring Style, Despite the Ruling In America. Already a little foreword regarding fall styles has come from Paris. The skirts of these advance models are as narrow as those of the present season and fully as short as the skirts Paris approved for spring in opposition to the American ruling for long skirts. The coats of the models now being offered as a suggestion for the first fall style development show a decided tendency to run to short-waisted effects. This may be an Indication that the empire waistline is. to be favored in much of the apparel shown for fall and winter. This is, however, pure guesswork, as the dresses that have come over from the other side with these shortwalsted suits are not on empire lines, and all the separate coats shown have normal waistline, belted loosely.
