Though it is not likely that the wasp waist and hourglass figure will be included in fashion's programme,, it io certain that the straight, "hipless" figure is rapidly becoming out of date. Women are not at all dismayed at the prospect of this change of outline. The present "straight" silhouette has lasted so long that it has become monotonous, and the prospect of something new ha* sent a thrill of excitnient through the' salons of the smart c-orsetieres, who had begun to wonder whether their services as quirk -change figure artists would ever j be required ajain. " It Is the crinoline that has don, it " j explained a rell-knnwn male dress artist ' referring to the pmjeded change. ' j "So long as coats, frinks, and RllW „ s i of tin? chemise ivpe wore worn a wain j was a positive hindraore to smartness. With the return of the crinoline circumstances have completely changed.
