Belgian Blue Kep
New. York, Feb. 13. Full skirts
have come to stay for a while at
least. - For all that, there is no reason
why the woman with several long
tunic skirts in her wardrobe should
be discouraged,, for they have not
been discarded by any . manner of
means. A number of the large FrencJ:
dressmakers are using them this year
with great success and lnsucn a way
that the ingenious- woman may ioi-
low their examples with her old skirts.
For instance, the new tunic, skirts
are ! very long, - much 'longer man
those of last year, showing scarcely
more than one or two inches of the
lower skiifbeneath: but to offset this,
which looks rather difficult when your
last season s - long , tunic . showed at
least six inches of a lower skirt, yokes
are very much the rage, and by at
tahcing a tunic to a yoke it will be
long enough to suit this season's re
quirements. -,' ,; : . . ; ; ; .
A Conservative Frock Developed m
1 Belgian Blue Rep.
If the dress you wish to remodel is
of silk, or a summer fabric, a very
simple way of modernizing it is to
add a lower section of two or more
ruffles, according to the width of the

pretty taffeta dress the other day
which (bad been made with a flaring
tunic and a very tight lower skirt. The
owner of the dress made the lower
skirt wide bv inserting a triahtrular
piece of the material into the back
seam. Two ruffles she made 01 tr.e
same taffeta, -with narrow hems ma
chine . hemstitched. These , were
placed onto the foundation skirt, and,
of course, tne piecing was imaaen, ana
Joined below the lone .. tunic. "The
dresg" was very smart and looked as
though . it might have been designed
this season instead of last. '
With a little forethought and a care
ful study of hew designs to be seen
in the fashion magazines of fashion
sections of the newspapers' many an
old dross whose style is hopeless can
be made into an up-to-date garment
which: will give : a . great deal of
pleasure.',
-..In my first. Illustration I fcave
shown a dress whose lines are simple
enough to suit the most conservative
in I
of tastes and yet are so smart that . and belt are worn extensively with
wherever the gown is seen the wearer . tailored suits..; t The small hats en
would pass as a well-dressed member .tirely covered with flowers are used
of society.- The model is developed in: for more elaborate occasions. tail

News from Paris says that gabar -
dine continues to be very smart. It
tias the qualities wnicn snouia en-
dear it to the American mind, for it
is serviceable and practical and comes
in all the known shades, irom navy
blue, black, white, to all the shades
of tan and gray. '
Checks large and checks smell are
being shown for the spring suits. In
my illustration l nave snown a in
little suit with a diagonal black-and-wWte
check. The coat isrnade some
what on Norfolk lines, with a six
gored skirt cut the short ankle length,
to which length all skirts should be
cut to lhave the proper style this year.
Instead of shoes, to be distinctly up
to Paris styles, boots should be worn,
with a walking dress of this character.
Russian boots they are called; they
button or lace up the sides and
wrinkle in a mousquetaire fajhion.
Empire lines are rihown in every
thing. Suits are made Short waisted,
with full peplums hanging from the
belt Tailored frocks are made short
waisted, with a wide or tmtow belt,
which is attaohed on its upper line
only and hangs free on its lower edge,
giving a boxed effect. The evening

period, the waists just coming below
the bust, and the skirt's longer and
fuller than those of her time, but
clinging gracefully to the figure.
Striped taffeta skirts have jackets
of satin matching some color in the
stripe. Voile is used extensively, and
usually trimmed with bands of taf
feta. Sand-colored voile skirts ihave
brown taffeta jackets. -v ;,
.Lunette is an American-made fa
brie which taXes the. place of the
Georgette crepe, 'which . is made
abroad and has 'become ery scarce
since the war. : Whole dresses are
made "of. it, especially for evening
wear, and it is most attractive and
more' durable than chiffon. There
is ;an indestructible vojle which is
very . much like - chiffon that is also
used a great deal. It comts in all
the beautiful old-fashioned designs,
in Dolly Varden and Dresden designs,
as well as in the large figured effects.
.'Plaid fabrics are having a renewed
vogue in Parisalthough they are con
sidered a novelty rather than a staple
fabric.-' Black is naturally very stylish,
as would be expected, when one thinks
that all France is in mourning. After

purple and gray in fact, all the
mourning and semiifnourning' colors
are having a vogue which they will
probably not have until another war.

New uniforms have been made for
the French soldiers of a new shade of
blue; naturally that means it is im
mediately copied for costumes flor
women. This color, together with-the
khaki-colored field cloth, are used ex
tensively for tailored costumes, es
pecially if they follow. ever so slightly
the tendency toward the military.
Red, also a military color, but in a
hew brick shade, is being used a great
deal, while the national colors of Bel
giumred, yellow and black are be
ing combined again and ' aain into
frocks and suits, --i

An Carly Underground Read.
London's underground railway sta-.
tlons are decidedly different from
what they were when, first built A
writer in Loudon Society of May. 1863,
describes Farringdon street statltn as
resembling "a family vault on a largo
scale, with a series of hip baths In
troduced diagonally Into It for light
snd ventilation. The hip baths are
lined with glared tiles, snd to keep the
resemblance to their prototype we find
the leakage drained off at the end Into
a vessel something like a soap dish. A
dense fog filled the piece when I was
there, and, as the people waiting for
the trains were seen wandering up snd
iown the platform, one might have Im
agined them ghosts of thn great un
washed condemned to linger In sight
of those lavatories they neglected la
tbelr mortal life.''
