MISFIT FASHIONS WEEDED OUT NOT EXTRAVAGANT, BUT SHE " DOES WEAR FINE CLOTHES. 0S Ph Margarita Fischer believes that clothes make the star at least smart clothes help to make repu tations and increase salaries. That's why tha young moving pic ture actress iovests to much money In fine raiment. "I'm not extravagant," declares Miss Flschor. "when I'm nt bome 1 dress very simply and make most of my own clothes, but it's different in tho pictures. I be lieve that it's just as Important for a movie actress to wear up- to-the-mlmito clothes as it is for tho legitimate star, 'mat's why I dress my parts in the i'ory lutes f..ihion." and plain, full skirt had four heavy braid frogs fastened . directly across the front Narrow braid outlined the lower edge of the waist. The hat worn with this dress was the crown ing feature of its militarism. It was black round and rather shallow, and worn well over'the forehead. Direct ly in front was a cockade of gray, black and red ostrich fronds. Callot striped and checked taffetas i in the sand color and black combina tions ore extrfemjMy tmart. One which I liked very 'much was made with a surplice bodice and a skirt cut bias front and back, with the sides cut on the straight of the material land pleated. A girdle of the same (material waB worn around the waist ending in the back with a large up-and-down bow of the checked silk. My first iliustration shows the trim tailored lines of an up-to-date skirt waist of sand colored chiffon and n trim black skirt. The belt, which is noticeable for the placing of its pock ets, is of pique and clasps in the front with the pearl button-clasps. The separate waist and skirt are holding a strong place in the ward robe of the women . of today. The waists are usually trim and tailored in their lines, and the skirt should be short and flaring around the lower 'edge while the shoes of sand, gray, 'black, or tan should lace up the side instead of the front. Large white linen or pique collars, with cuffs to match,, are charming vorn over the simple -waist of gray or j'black, giving the effect of a puritan or a Quaker costume. Gray taffeta is used for one dress, with a skirt tucked in large tucks in the back; while the front, which commences at the hips, is perfectly plain. The full waist is topped with a large unstarch ed linen collar, and the long close fitt ing sleeves has guantlets to match the collar. . Some waists are made .'with a square or oval opening in front something like the shape of a man's tosom, only not so deep. ' A tucked cr pleated ' front of white organdy, with a round collar fitting neatly over the back, is used for a -chemisette in these waists. V" , Children's clothes, from the little tots to the juniors, show the simple st of lines. Linen is used again in blue white, and the soft shades of rose and tan which are so smart.. One dress which was worn by twelve-year old was of a soft shade of rose. A little long 'sleeved bolero jacket was cut with square corners, each one em broidered with a simple design in the same color. A pleated skirt hung from a high waist-line, while the daintiest of batiste blouses merely peeped from beneath the tiny jacket. this same girl had removed a coat of Dutch blue cfiiff on broadcloth made with an empire waist and pleat ed skit. A wide braided belt was worn over the joining of the waist and skirt, and was stitched at the .top only, leaving a standaway an pearance at the lower edge. The hat worn with this coat was of sand colored and black straw timmed with a single band of black grosgrain rib bon about an inch and half in width which ended in double loops in the 1 '.black which hung to the shoulders ! The party dresses -for the little 'girls this age were made of sheer organdy or batiste. One was made with the decided empire waist and jwas charming, while the other which ;I noted particularly was made with : a waistline just below the normal I The skirt was made with double ruf jfles edged with lace, and the whole ; effect from arm-pit to bottom of 'skirt was very straight and up'and ' down, and the sleeves were three quarter length rather than short or ' very long. F V F1GHTW0N WITH MUCH PUBLIC An l'n-to-Dntc .Separate Waist, Bell and Skirt New York, April 10. In April, the tendencies of .spring begin to crys tallize and we are aide to surmise what will be standard niul what is a mere fad and soon to die.- We know that the Kmiprc dress has come to stay wilh us for the summer at. least, and will be worn by the wo men whose slender, girlish figures will allow of such lines. Others will t.whew this type of frix'k for it is s-f-cntinlly for the youthful figure. The skirts are full and short, very high shoes being worn to ili.-iguise the fact that with the ordinary shoes the dress would be above the shoe-tops. .For the street, the skirts are plain 'mid full, being cither gathered or pleated, or placed o na yoke. 0:ie smart bluu serge skirt was box-plent-eil at the top, with n slash umlci every other pleat through which was drawn the patent-leather belt. Tho Jong tunic has not disappeared, for on some of tho most up-to-date suits they are worn. These tunic are so long, however, that it is but an inch or so of the underskirt that u seen beneath. Sometimes tho tunic is shorter in front than in the back and tho lower skirt may be of u con trasting material.. Such a skirt I saw recently of black taffeta and black and white taffeta. The waist worn with this skirt was made with a black collar lined with striped mater ial and flaring so that the black and A Checked and I'luiif Taflela Dress With Tunic Skirt white formed a decided trimming feature of the waist. Other tunics nre slashed up the side rod give almost an apron effect troni. and back. Again, tho tunic shrinks to a mere apron in front, which may have rounded- corners and be .edited with narrow, fluted ruffles of the ame material. In my illustration is to be seet. a checked taffeta dress, which is made with the up-to-date tunic skirt.. The check is a gray and black, and white with a touch of sand is used for the loily of the waist and for the tunic cr overskirt. The vest of the waist and the underskirt nre of gray taf feia. A cunning little hat is worn w'th this dress, and is strictly tailor ed I in its simplicity and extremely rimirt. Suits are very smart which have a covert cloth jacket and a skirt of co vert, the connecting link between coat nnd skirt being a black collar on the coat. . The militnry effect is to be seen in linen suits. A very well cut linen suit in oyster-white was made on Norfolk lines with a belt and very large pockets on the side over the hips. The box-pleats in the coal were duplicated in the box-pleats on the skirt, which in this case, were pressed down to the hem. In the wool skirts the pleats are often laid in nt the top, but are not pressed in. Braid is also used to give the mili tary effect to jackets or waists with a cut far from military.
