White Is again to be immensely fashionable
this winter. and already among the gowns IN
tended for both day and evening wear white
IS the predominant note Of color, strange as
the statement may seem The street gowns
that Is, the reception gowns OF white cloth
I'm all the many shades Of white, and 80 IS
astonishing how many different shades Of
white there are-are even more beautiful, in
fact, than last season, and there have been
an unusual number OF different styles for
these cloth gowns. Besides those Intended
for street and reception wear are the theater
gowns In white cloth or IN different white
materials, but more OF them in any way COM
pares In beauty Of workmanship TO the white
gowns intended for the evening, the dinner
gowns being especially attractive. Among
the so-called dinner gowns that are here a.
lustrated are nOne which later in the season
would be considered elaborate enough for
dinner gowns, when a style OF dress that is
really suitable for n state entertainment or
ball Is considered correct for a dinner. But
FOR the present season and for informal
entertainments during the winter the fash
ions are perfect OF their kind.
Filmy fabrics always delight the soul 81
the artistic dreSsmaker, who can drape the
graceful folds into becoming lines. conceal
some defect OF figure or soften some hard
outline hF the placing 81 the folds, and who,
"a fact. can End use for any amount OF the
material and can make up 50 many different
renderinrs Of che same design.
Lace gowns have been immensely fashion
able all summer for garden parties. for the
races. for horse shows and for the hundred
and one outdoor entertainments where elab-
orate dress Is required. and the lace en-
plOyed IN the construction OF these costumes
has been or the most costly description. the
only difference In many instances between
the day and evening gowns OF white lace con
sistlng IN the cut Of the waist. and. be it I'M
derstood, my lady does not have two waists
for one szirt..as was ut one time the economf-
ca fashion. No natter how closely the skirts
may resemble each other. each gown IS com
p.ete In Itself
Lace and Chiffon Combinations.
Combining lace with chiffon. mousselfne de-
sole. silk wolfe or any Of the very sheer ma
terals that look like gossamer and can 1T

tensify the beauty Of the lace and OF the ma
terisl as well. and en- these DAYS when &C
Gordon piaitings, RIFLES and lOunces are so
popular the light, thin materials are espe-
cslly I'm demand for the desired effect can
be obtained without any disagreeab.e bulki-
ness OF hiding OF lines OF the figure. II f.
possible TO secure the long lines that are al
ways popular by having the lace put on in
horizontal bands, or ~ the fiounced effect IS

mounting the hounces on other material. the
body Of the skirt for Instance. being OF chlf-

thar sre fashionable. and then having the
fOunCes only OF lace Deep collars or 6clr,s
Of lace cross IN soft folds over the bust. and
the body OF the waist again IS Of the other
material.
There are some simple gowns on which
very little lace IS used. but which are OF
ceedingly attractive because Of the quaint
ties OF the soft chinon-for instance. ar.
ranged iD a succession OF accordion plated
founces. in gathered or accordion plated
skirts, and with the waist draped IN soft
supplies folds. Strange as TT may seem. this
severe style IS suitable not only FOR very
young girls, but IS perfectly well adapted fo
older women, and when wei made such a
gown as this Is immensely attractive.
Marvellous creations are the gowns OF lace
and chiffon combined. but with much more
lace than chiffon. These are picture gowns
made with g-exaggeratediy long-train.
