EDICTS OF FASHION
NOTABLE PARADE IN LONDON. (United Frees Association —By Biectr’3 Telegraph—Copyright.. LONDON, February 4. The exhibition of fashions in the leading houses confirms the forecast that a dress revolution is taking place. The rigid straight line is definitely gone, with a complete revival of the ornamental side flower, laces, and ribbons. Even the fans of our grandmothers are reappearing. Large bouquets harmonising with the dress, are prominent. The boyish tailor-made is swept aside by the enveloping robe, heavily tucked and frilled. Incidentally skirts are much longer. This complete reversal is causing uneasiness in London, where the fashion artists are urging a war against Paris dictates. Even doctors and hygienists are urging London women in the interests of health not to submit to the onslaught.
