The Place to See.
The Bots in the evening is the fashionable

magnihcence is well understood even in the
simple toilettes de bal For those to whom
expense is not a factor there are wonderful
painted chiffon and beautiful silks trimmed
with costly lace. at times effectively en-
broldered and worked in gold thread. The
younger element of society is reveling In
frocks of muslin and dotted swiss. some
times made up over a color. but in most
cases this treatment suggests dressing
table effect not at all desirable.
1t matters not nowadays whether the Co.'S
tune of my lady be created from purple
and fine linen or of plain print If the effect
is one of smartnesS. The up-to-date woman
must be smart-that is. she should have an
individual style. 1t may be that of the
picturesque the severely tailored: what
ever the selection. it must always be In
evidence as her distinguishing Sartorial
feature.
Beauty counts for less these days than an
air of distinction and smartness. and all
else In the circle where kind hearts are
less appreciated than good clothes Is for
given the woman who has style and smart
