It was rose colored frock, the most notable feature of which was the extreme shortness of the skirt. : - Soft, ample folds of rose colored taffeta, the - edges heavily corded, were draped upwards, the bottom edire scarcely reachinir below the knee. Be low the silk and between the side folds quantities of pleated net were astacneci to the corded edge, giving I an effect of increased width and length of skirt but adding little to it in actual substance. A narrow panel down the back of I the skirt was formed by rows of cord pleated net, and over this were laid festons of deep pink rose buds. The buds also caught up the draping at the skirt and formed a corsage trimming. I TV, ,.1.' u.. ,L. .. "i. wuivi:, wjr i.ii3 way, suniuwillii resembled a basque, being snugly fit ting and with closely laid gathers. Across the shoulders was drawn a fichu-like cane of the taffeta, edced I with the pleated net, and also formed the negligible sleeves. London, Apr. 22. It's amazing the way titled skirts are creeping up aris tocratic shins. Talk about your belt ed Earl you- really can't say much more about his Lady Countess wife these days, or rather nights, for her skirts are cut so high and her waist is cut so low there isn't much more than a girdle for an embarrassed eye to cling too. For daytime frocks and costumes as well," Her Grace, My lady, and the Hon. Molly are Bhowing an expanse of ankle that generously goes tue eight inch mandate at least two inches better, or perhaps we should say worse Skirting a rather tender subject, there seems to be abundant evidence these days that vu can go further and fare worse when it comes to a question of British skirts. The pretty English dairy, maid who voiced the historic answer that "My face is my fortune" could never have gotten by with a like statement anent the feet. But be that as it may, feet, and even much feet, seem to demand even more inch es when you start to hem about them. At a little informal midnight sup per dance last week Miss Nancy Cun- Brd and Iris Tree proved ardent ad vocates of the abbreviated skirt. Be ing a true descendent of the Cunard line it seems quite appropos that Miss Nancy should flaunt a high water frock and it was most appropriately composed of a frothy white bodice of tulle with cunning ' little white cap sleeves. The skirt was two foaming white billows of tulle girdled with a sash of seagreen ribbon. . Miss Tree with her blonde hair in a bang was most fetching in a black velvet bodice sleevelss save for should er straps of the black. It was cut out with rather a square. Dutch effect in front and back and a single half blown rose of pink broke the black' sombreness near the left shoulder. The bodice ended abruptly at a round rathr short waist line and the skirt composed of three full flounces of tulle one pale blue,, one pale pink, and one yellow burst butterfly like from its black velvet chrysalis. The Tree limbs were increased in pale blue stockings and black velvet slippers. There is quite a penchant for the velvet ibodice in evening frocks and not only are the contrasting black taf- ADresa Combining raffeta '"jVgjj feta with a velvet bodice of the same shade was the sartorial hit at the Savoy the other night. The skirt was caught up on the left side in kirtle ef fect with a garland of pink roses re vealing a petticoat of white chiffon and lace. A garland of the roses also served in lieu of the left shoulder strap. , " ' v They occassional dto tjrim hats in something besides airgrettes over here however, for I glimpsed a tiny bule turban on Bond Street the other The FRONT LACE CORSET with j The VENTILO Back r M S I II A FRONT LACE CORSETS Give the wearer a beautiful back,.
