PLATE
The lengthened skirt, so long a
mere threat, has at last become a
reality to the modishly-minded. In
the realm of evening clothes, es-
pecially, hemlines have dropped, in
some cases as much as a foot.
Both gowns and wraps for eve-
ning wear will be definitely long
this winter, comes the word from
Paris. Uneven hem-lines will still
be fashionable, but will be placed
nearer the ground; and ankle
length all around is quite likely for
formal evening dresses developed
in sheer materials. In order to 1
keep up (or should we say down)
with the new length in dresses,
evening wraps will also have to
lengthen their hems. The advance
fur models are illustrating this
tendency.
Even the summer evening wraps

the new trend toward length will
probably be that next winter's

way 'round. Circular flounces and

With the ap-

tention is turning
to coats, and these promise to main-
tam the interesting treatment
which they have enjoyed the past
few seasons. A stunning bottle

der of leaves made of the fabric,
with fine velvet lines making the
leaves' veins. Another black coat
for an older woman is handsome-

deep, pointed cuffs of astrakan.

a second black coat which boasts
a circular flounce, collar, and flar-
ing cuffs of the lamb.
