TN PREPARATION apparently for
an unusually long winter season,

number of new designs and fashions
for evening gowns, so that the range

some picturesque fashion, may be
most conventionally attired, may garb
herself in satin or velvet, or may wear
the flimsiest of lace or tulle and have
the delightful consciousness of being
quite the fashion
In colors there is also rich field of
choice, and the different shades of the
different colorS are apparently endless.
In embroideries and laces it would also
seem as though designers and manu-
facturers alike had combined to turn
out rare and wondrous effects. Hand
work, as has so often been said, has
reached a degree of perfection I'M
known before this winter, while in
machine work such results have been
obtained as. to make it difficult at first
glance for a trained eye to distinguish
the real from the imitation.
colored Satins for Evening
velvets and satins are lighter in
weave and texture than Formerly, ana
consequently lend themselves to the
rev design much better. Long lines
and graceful draperies can be far more
easily obtained when the material is OF
such grade that it can be arranged In
accord with the prevailing fashion,
which at the moment calls for grace
and supple folds. White and light col
ored satin gowns are extremely smart
but for the moment the colored satlns
are more popular than white, and II
the former are used the ivory ana
cream tones are considered more Ell
fective than the plain or blue white.
Skirts of medium length, with pleats

ways with a long point in front, is the
most popular style, but rather an odd
effect can be obtained by the eXagger-
