ichF . THE DAILY BRITISH WHIIG, THURSDAY, MARCH 28; 1918. ashion . TT J rT Creators Have Given Much Considerat PAGE ELEVEN" 7 10n ) 7703 By Maude Han, The way of the fashionable figure is straight, long and narrow, Wom- en who are doing their duty by their wardrobes as by their country are devoting particular attention to slim material saving frocks, and there is \no other sihouette for the war time frock but the straight one. The bottom of the tunic may as- sert its independence of set rules and drop in a point at some unex- pected place, or flare just a wee bit, but Just below the edge of the tunic the silhouette collapses into a nar- Towness more than ever accented by Way of atoning for its momentary digression. There is a considerable variance in the degree of narrowness in the new skirts and many clever arrangements safeguard them ggain- at the violations of good taste com-~ mitted in models of earlier seasons. Bustle draperies are-less prominent, at least a fig as wool frocks are favor for several weeks to come. The Egyptian crepes, Japanese silks, Persian lawns give a decidedly oriental note to the season's fashions and this is emphasized by all kinds of delightful embroideries, braided motifs and other garnitures. There are also some fascinating checked China silks in blue, red or orange combined with white, which makes delightful separate skirts to wear with little shirt waists with crepe Georgette or chiffon cloth. Sports satin is still used extensively . for skirts and a few small sleveless Sports coats have been shown in this material. Egyptian crepe, a rather thin silk material, is particularly good in Jap- anese blue, that lovely medium blue of a subtly greenish tone, and print- ed with flowers with two shades of blue with dashes of pink, makes a lovely day-time frook. The skirt is deep girdle of sell-material finished at one side with a sash. Into: the front is set a square vest of organdy and the neck is finished with a large collar of the same. material, Design- ers are varying the extreme simplic- | ¢ ity of their new models with the most adorable collars and other dainty | t accessories. One rejoices in a wide cavalier collar of delicately embroi-|1 dered organdy with frilled edge and deep cuff to match. Another has a wonderfully effective collar and cuffs of eyelet embroidered linen and a third has a two-tiered white organdy - collar over greem, the bright color being repeated in a Smart one sided tie for the girdle. The simpler and less expensive organdy cpllars and chemisettes are legion and usually white, though there may be & very delicate color introduced, as on a lovely froek of figured nikerchief | linen. The gathered to a simple waist under a collar ayd revers of white are cut in conceried, but tunics will enjoy high TISH FOUGHT LE NUMBERS GLORIOUS STORY 1S TOLD : : The Sheer Human Valor of the Brit- ish Tommies Makes the World Throb--The Come Yo Their sw G rol 28.--Writing from } war correspondents headquarters : a.

A rather striking one-piece cos- tume in 'biege linen has a widely plaited skirt with under-gores of brown and white striped linen. The arrangement is more effective and nothing has been produced this sea- son that offers greater possibilities for the combination of plain and striped materials. The collar and cuffs are off the striped linen, but tiie wide belt is in plain biege. So much emphasis is being placed upon the straight slim figure that it is going to require the most diplo- matic handling of the new season's frocks to save them from overpopu- larity. Already there are opening vistas of spéculation as to what state of spectacular slimness we may be moving toward, blissfully uneon- scious of our fate. Women of goqd taste will avoid the pencil tailored frocks, so scant the wrists and bound with a band of with _their rifles .
