AS OLD AS HER HIP LINE

HIGHER WAISTS,

Some unkind person said that today a woman is as old as her .hip line, and that is a truism that is going to be brought homo to use more clearly in the autumn frocking than we need to worry about for the summer (says an Adelaide writer). At the State Government House: ball on Cup night it was. noticed that waists were higher —in fact, nearly, normal—but they were peculiarly- the right of the young girls, so there is the hope that the vogue for waists to be out and not in, in more ways than one, will be shortlived. in certain directions, as to what’s what and where, the women, and not the girls, really set the fashion. But this tendency for a waist i.s, nevertheless, hovering for pronounced recognition, for belts and the tendency to define the figure grows more pronounced. One of the kindest things which the couturiers have done is to feature sports clothes, having some consideration for the years of the weaver, and age and other restrictions on feminine attire are not allowed to hamper milady’s swift comings and goings.
