Correspondence to the Smyrna Times"
A new style crepOn for evening
dresses, is in very light weight silk
woven in tiny squares, indentatlOns
between the squares, forming long
diagonal lines that afford OF course, ad
ditiOnal variety in surface. White,
pale or bright shades are noticeable
and they are uniform thrOug since
the bringing forward of fancy patterns
ON so uneven groundwork, would be
in extremely bad taste and result only
in a displeasing confusion. CreponS in

hengaline or plain silk are utilized and
there are pretty, small patterned
silk skirts that harmOnlZe nicely with
waists of solid colored fabrics, chiefly

nation of the two, since velvet and
chiffon are frequently seen together, a
chiffon vest or sleeves or both, giving
finish to a velvet waist.
