ABIT IS HABIT says Mark Twain,
"and not to be flung out of the win
dow bv anv man, but coaxed down-
stairs a step at a time. So is style habit,
and riot to be thrown in the discard by any
cdtitdurier or designer, but coaxed to change,
a little at a time. Witness the slow meta
morphosis of the straight "chemise dress
of a few seasons ago tKe introduction of
pleats paved the way' for a slight flare of the
silhouette lattKe hem-lirie. And the draped
sash of last ''spring opened the Way for a rad
ical break away from the straight line
this autumn we have THE BLOUSED
WAISTLINE.
iately discarded it takes a season or two
to finish the matter up.
Flares and godets have been in fbr two, or
three seasons now their orbit is now on the
descendent track. Really we may consider
every possible style factor as traveling in a
cycle it disappears only to appear again.
It may come back again in five or six .years;
or it may take fifty to sixty years to come
back, and then be slightly changed but it
eventually arrives. Was it six years ago or
seven years ago that the dolman sleeved
coat was so popular? It matters riot, the
important point is that IT HAS COME
BACK.
"Ah, but I won't giveup my straightline
dress, cries every woman. , "It is too com
fortable and becoming. There is no ne
cessity for that yet," Teplies the Paris de
signer. Of course we never can tell what
Will happen next 'season. Arid that is the

new does not mean that the old is immed-
Those are the two really irnportant changes
for this season he bloused waistline iri
dress and coat, and the dolman or wrappy,
coat. There are other changes, of cbiirse,
but none so radical as these, Very "little, if
any, difference is noted in the length of the
skirt. It reiriams, uriort ; 'all tKpse'oigig
enough and slender .enough to carry it well,
