Freedom of Knees Goes to Discard by mathieu worth (Ak QioUhl In Textile Worlds Kow that the swan song of the “Garcon era” has been sung, perhaps the singing of a hymn of praise to new skirt length is not amiss. Like the sun. the new skirt descends toward the evening. Afternoon finds it at twelve to fourteen inches up from the ground—teatime at ten inches. The restaurant hour. Just clearing the ankle, and at evening it dips below the horizon right down to the toe. Ladies who still believe in limbs, and cry aloud at any attempt to banish them, can find peace in the sport length, a hand’s width below the knee, or the travel length of fifteen inches from the ground, but the knee has lost its freedom Kail to the new length—longer may it wave! The new feminine modes spell most surely the return of charm — perhaps romance. The new* style though never really intended for business or sport wear save for a very slight lengthening of the hemline. without a doubt is here for good in evening attire. Allows Freedom A few inches more to allow for knee covering will leave just as much freedom of movement and look infinitely more distinguished—and respectable. The short skirt too often struck a harsh discordant note—it may have been chic, but it wasn’t charming. Above all, it wasn’t romantic, and romance is important, even to the modern. Uniformity in dress is a thing of the past. The new fashions call for a much keener style sense in woman than ever before, with greater freedom in the choice of materials. The flapper fashion invasion with its uniformity of dress, had given us a race of robot-like women, long and short, fat and thin, young and old, as alike as two peas, from a point of view of dress. Individuality had departed; even the doughty dowagers gave up the ghost. So great was the mental havoc of the flapper era. that today we see the young woman of borrowed tastes hurrying along through slush and wet, trailing floats of chiffons in vivid reds, blues and greens, a foot or more beneath the hem of a dingy winter coat, looking for all the world like a cricket playing at butterfly. Flaw Not in Mode Then up runs the cry—“Of course the short skirt would be better by far than that!"—but unfortunately the flaw lies not in the mode, but only in the woman of little courage and no taste. The same woman wore a sleeveless frock to business. The dance frock that once used so little material, has blossomed into a thing of beauty and grace, full draped and long. What a fine chance this Is for colors in welldesigned materials —also the sophisticated grace of good black and white, an idea always supremely chic. The well-designed gown and frock of the “dressmaker mode” goes much deeper than just the dress idea, in its demand on the textile trades—there is the necessary return of the corset. Probably the old fashioned idea of the stays will not return, but the well-fitted girdle will, since not even the most athletic woman can afford to do without some sort of support if she wants her clothes to set faultlessly. Thing of Beauty The girdle of fine workmanship and excellent materials, will be a thing of beauty—as well be-rib-boned and trimmed as that constricting rigid thing of old. One corset will no more satisfy a woman of smartness today than one pair of stockings. She will have from two to four of these wellmade Things, ranging in materials irom cotton to silk. The new mode Is a mode of handicraft and detail. As always, simplicity is the test of true chic, and the best of the new frocks manage to achieve an effect of subtle simplicity, despite their elaborate detail and workmanship. Women have an inborn love for ribbons, and a ribbon that can be worn without giving the effect of a Dresden China shepherdess is going to be popular. There will no doubt be a splendid revival of ribbons, French flowers and what-nots dear to the heart of most women. Endive Salad Endive, dressed with French dressing to which a little Roquefort cheese has been added, makes an excellent salad for a hard dinner.
