THE FASHION REBELLION.
The latest dress news from Paris b that some of the "best” designers have bowed to the inevitable and produced shorter evening dresses. It was bound to happen, of course. Dancing men were the first to kick against the fashion of wispy trains dabbing about all over the floor and getting in the way of graceful dancing. Later on even mon-dnneing; \men played theiir part in the rebellion by raising supercilious eyebrows and smiling superior smiles whenever they saw a girl vainly trviug to deal with her "tails” ami look unconcerned at the same time. All this brought about a reaction in the feminine heart. Women demanded shorter skirts, and the designers, willy-nilly, have had to oblige. The sales show which way the fashionable wind is blowing. Very long dresses with tails that sweep up the deist are going "for a mere song,” however exquisite may be the materials of which they are made.
