What a House Gown Means.

The word house gown today is used
In very broad sense. We do not mean
a frock to put on in ones own room or
simply to wear at ones own table. The
phrase is used to designate gown that
is worn under the roof at any time
This includes afternoon teas, If they
are very formal, smart luncheons and
the theaterNa at night in the chairs or in
box, at fashionable restaurants for
supper or dinner, for all dinner parties
that do not call for low gowns, and for
all wear in ones own house during the
afternoon and evening.
