TRAINS IN EVIDENCE ON THE
NEW HOUSE GOWNS FROM PARIS
Morning Frocks Still Short, But for More Formal
Wear Long Skirts and Short Sleeves the Vogue

Once again graceful trains are seen or

not in exaggerated length, but any
may BE chosen which happens TO be
most becoming to the individual. Sim
pie gowns to be worn at home in the
morning and street dresses will remain
short.
There are as distinct styles in evening
dresses this year as in afternoon cos
tunes. Dinner gowns are to have de-
cfded trains, while for the ballroom

up by ribbon attached to the material,
are preferred
The question Of the correct sleeve for
afternoon wear is under violent dispute

as velvet and cloth, but there Is some
thing exceedingly smart about an elab-
crate short sleeve with which is worn
long black or white kid glove Un-
less. however, one has particularly
pretty arms, this is not q becoming
fashion, for there will often be times
when gloves cannot be worn. The SAT-
est way is to have the sleeve made with
deep lace cuff fastened in with tiny
loops and buttons. SO that If the gown
Is TO be worn at home and the short
sleeve Is particularly unbecoming the
difficult question is thus easily solved.
All fullness must be ar the shoulder this
year. and in few sleeves is the long slop-
Ing effect seen, which was so becoming
to many women.
With each reception gown this year
there must needs be a hat to match-if
not of the same shade at least the color
must be introduced in some way. A
