Paris is agog with a new excitement. Long skirts to wit. They are really and truly “in” again. Quite akle length. Long hair, so fashion has decreed, will soon follow. Four out' of every half-dozen new dance frocks are robes de style of this anklelength persuasion. With them are revived sashes of velvet or ribron, old paste buckles and foamy petticoats! Stockings much less of them revealed take on the shade of the dress. Shoes are often in a darker tone of the same colour. Feet and legs, in fact, are beconjing demure again in the Herrick manner. And we have gone back to Watteau for frilled panniers to emphasise the hips we have “reduced” so painstakingly.
