There are, indeed, Indications that we

of the more pronounced hues are ginning

In Louis XIV. combination, with pale pink
I and blue, pink mauve, and very delicate
blue, are especially favored. but all Of the
| light tints are acceptable and there u a
profusion Of wonderful Powered effects.
There is decided impulse toward the
satins, silks and velvets for evening wear,
and some Of the models in these materials
are lovely enough to tempt one to forswear
the dainty filmy chiffons and mousselines.
Not that the latter are out Of fashion--far
from It. They are lovelier than ever and
are unquestionably more youthful than
| the hea vier materials.
On the other hard the silks, satns and
yelvets are more durable and newer, and
since they do not usually require the wealth
I, of. hand work lnvished upon the sheer

materials, not more expensive than the
elaborate frock Of chiffon or mousseline.
Chiffon velvet, which is as light and soft
as crepe, in the delicate shades. makes a
most detachable evening frock when re-
lieved by touches Of rich lace, and tie plain
and brocaded silks are exquisite; but among
the new models the satin dinner and even
ing frocks are perhaps the most charming.
Satin, rich, yet falling as softly as cispe,
Is chosen and it's lustre gives marvellous
bloom to delicate cOloring.
The material Is ideal for the full skirt,
having body, yet falling in clinging, grace
ful folds and cleaning with light and shade.
Appreciating this effect, the makers have
given to most Of the satin frocks straight,
full skirts, with some bottom trimming.
