But now she knows what she wants and will wear what she choose, and she does It so well that she Is herself a creator of styles. Changes In fashions are interesting, but a lazy and perhaps fugged world finds them taxing. I'nless one Is pre pared to accept whatever the dressM I ant m maker recommends, the new Ideas must be carefully thought out and the decision must have concentrated attention, and all of this demands time. Occasionally there are modes that become established uml find such favor that they endure, senson after season, and are reluctantly relinquished. These have been many In the last three or four years.

A straight loose cout of the same material is trimmed about the bottom, with two of the ruffles, which also finish the long sleeves of easy width.

A soft turnover collar finishes the gown at the throat, and the sleeves are tight and long, extending well over the hand. Simplicity Is the keynote of all the gowns shown by French artists, and evert those elaborated to the extent of flounces and drapery are distinguished by the one feature, whatever It may be ; for trimming of any sort Is used with much restraint. Among the designers, Cheruit shows extreme simplicity, almost severity, depending upon some startling note to mark distinction, especially In evening gowns. From this house have come several radical designs showing changes In outline, some quite sensational. It Is Cheruit who most daringly offers the pannier or extended hip trimming, and drapes the material low on the frock, down from the knee. Things More Ornate. Lanvln goes In for things somewhat more ornate, and does with equal success the period gown.
