Fashion Takes to Lavish Pleating
Dy CHERIE NICHOLAS
WHAT’S news? Pleating; Lik.|P
If you please, Just miles
and miles of It clambering up mm'..
and down and around fash-
ionable dresses anjl blouses
and wraps. Seems as if ev- Hi
erything pleatable is being
pleated. Why, even the new
est straw hats have their
brims pleated, while this sea
son’s smartest gloves take
unto themselves wide pleated flare
cuffs. And have you seen those cun
ning little shoulder capes which are
simply a mass of tler-upon-tier of fine
pleatlngs, either lace or ribbon, or
whatnot?
As to pleated neckwear and acces
sories there’s no end to the frothy,
billowy, lively and pert little pleat
ings which are enmassing about throat
and shoulders and arms and wrists, at
the same time ranging themselves up
and down blouse fronts under the
guise of jabots.
However, these little pleatlngs are
but a mere prologue to the deluge of
more pretentious pleatings which is
rapidly descending upon modern fash
ionland. The real drama of pleatings
begins with the new skirt-depth pleats
which are being worked skillfully Into
spreading trains and graceful panels
and winged effects nnd such. In one
or two instances of Paris evening
modes the entire skirt has been pleat
ed in soft Grecian sculpturesque lines.
In the lovely dinner gown created
of a heavy sheer in a rich orange tone,
as worn by the standing figure In
the accompanying illustration, Patou
achieves the sprightly back movement
which is so featured tills season, via
pleated and stiffened winglike effects
which develop into floor-length pleated
panels at each side. A little matching
pleated cape sums up the situation
with infinite grace.
When Paris couturiers decide to
make pleating their theme they pleat
lavishly. Especially is this penchant
NEW SHOULDER LINE
By C URRIE NICHOLAS
The print frock topped with a full
length coat In solid tone is a fashion
favorite this season. The costume pic
tured is a Schiaparelli model. The
color scheme is very choice and dis
tinctive in that the print is developed
in brown, gray and beige, the woolen
coat being in the latter color. The
rounded shoulder line here sponsored
by Schiaparelli Is achieved through
skillfully maneuvered tucks. The one
button fastening at the waistline is in
tune with the new movement. The
rolled rather than flat revers also
carry a style message. The knitted
hat is called “Flirt.”
Pleats for Junior*
For Junior wear, the English type
of frock, plaited from the shoulder
and belted at the norma l waistline, la
a current favorite
v J ... „
for pleating expressed in evening and
party frocks which are fashioned of
stiffened net or lace or sheer mous
seline de sole. These dainty gowns
which so eloquently bespeak the re
turn of the truly feminine mode fairly
bristle with tiers and tiers of sprightly
frills and ruches formed of pleatings.
Not that evening fashions have a
monopoly on pleated fantasies, not at
aIL Just to demonstrate how clever
ly pleating used in a trimming way is
entering into the daytime mode, w f o
present in the picture a very charm
ing sports frock made of a lightweight
woolen which might be In any of the
delectable pastel shades which are
on the new color card, dusty pink for
instance or aqua blue or in one of the
very recent yellowish hues. As a mat
ter of fact the original of the model
pictured is in nn attractive gray. The
self-fabric pleating describes the new
shoulder and neckline silhouette.
Now that fashion is in such a de
cided mood for pleating there are
rumors in the air that the all-around
pleated skirt for daytime wear is due
for a revival. The few models which
have been shown are tactfully worked
with the thought in mind to preserve
slender figure-fitting lines to the knee
where the pleats throw off all restraint
and flare as much as they please.
This is accomplished by flatly stitch
ing the pleats down at the top. It is
said that this type of skirt is destined
to become very important in connec
tion with the long tunic blouse which
has “arrived” in smart circles.

OXFORD SHOE LEADS
LIST OF FAVORITES
The oxford shoe is queen for spring,
but such a modified oxford I The two
eyelet type gives the effect of a pump;
when more eyelets are used there’s
often a strap feeling, but it’s quite a
new version of strapping. As former
ly worn, the strap slipper seems to be
out, though there are a few attractive
models for women who hate to change
their fashion habits too quickly.
Heels on daytime shoes are leather
covered and have a dainty, airy qual
ity, but they are firmly balanced for
sane walking. On spectator sports
footwear they’re usually of built-up
leather.
Pumps have been modified for style
and comfort with a tiny gore, covered
with delicate, often shaded decoration,
that stretches a little over the instep.
New Coats Are Featured
by Variety of Fabrics
Variety is the spice of the spring
coat array.
The wraps in which smart women
will step out on those first warm days
show more difference in fabric and
cut than they have displayed for many
seasons. They may be long or three
quarter length, buttoned from chin to
hem or flying loose in the breeze,
minus a single touch of fur or
swathed on regal foxes.
They have one point in common,
however. They are all youthful. Ex
cept for the more elaborate afternoon
models they are simple in effect —if
not in cut —and they bang on jaunty
lines which speak of movement
Brown Popular
Brown is becoming increasingly
prominent for both daytime and eve
ning wear. It is being featured in
chiffon, mousseline de sole, taffeta,
crepes and triple sheers.
Goatskin Hats
Narrow brimmed hats with pinched
crowns are made of goatskin which
simulates pigskin. These match up
with sports coats of the same fabrics.

on Beaver creek all runnin’ at once.
—Brooklyn Eagle.
