that was always cheerful.
His customers giggled.
Then he produced gray tie. remark

put in Angelica.
'Ah.' sighed Geraidiae, why didn't /

SATIN pETTICOATS POPULAR
NOW INSTEAD OF SILK
White Richest, But Delicate Pink, Blue, and Yellow
Pretty for Evening.

a satin finish, or at any rate a GER
tain amount of sheen. is noticeable on
nearly every kind of material this sea
son. even ON the dress Innings and un-
der petticOats. \ satin finished mate
rial Is always more effective than a
dun silk. and for this reason also re-
guires less trimming often decided
advantage This year things have been
rather reversed. for there are many re-
ception and house gowns of lace, chif-
fon. net and taffeta silks, but for the
evening even the debutantes prefer sat
ins and satin silks.
With a satin gown an underslirt of
the same shade, and having the same
soft sheen is naturally more attractive
than the too sharp contrast OF dun
silk would be. but until just lately this
scheme has seldom been carried out.
Satin has been used for some time as
q background for lace or chiffon, and
all transparent textures are at present
being made up over satin finish silk.
An evening pettieoat is all important
to the ball gown and great care must
hc taken that it give just the correct
last touch tn the costume. A white
skirt. with its dainty lace ruffles is
hard 10 improve upon, but the satin
uerticoats matching the shade OF the
gowns with which they are worn are
much in vogue at the moment The

LENS, AND ITS INTERESTS
VELVET EVENING
GOWNS ARE SMART

That Dame Fashion viii never oGtgrow
her fondness for velvet gowns is Illus
trated year after year, for every sue
cessive winter season brings forth its
models for reception and often evening
wear. in rich and handsome qualities
of velvet. For the afternoon there are
all the rich dark shades, black being
of all the most popular, but for the
dinner, ball or opera gowns, bright
shades OF pink, red, deep turquoise blue
and fascinating shades of green are TO
be noticed this year.
For the sake Of investment alone. a
black velvet calling costume is well
worth purchasing, for It Is appropriate
for the most formal entertaining and is
suitable as well for the smaller teas and
receptions Then, too. black is not
readily remembered. but in velvet is
at all times conspicuously handsome.
sapphire blue. rich purple ana deep
ciaFet color are all to be seen in velvet
this year and make most effective call
ing ana reception costumes. while the
lighter shades. as said above, are re-
served more for the house and for
evening wear.
Velvet is too heavy for the true en-
pire style but much modified this model
is most attractive for a reception gown
The dress should be trimmed in some
way with lace and embroidery. the
waist line being distinctly shown in
'front.' and on the sides by fitted satin
belt. which in back is drawn up slight
~ above the loose folds or plaits of the
,f-atertai which falling loose TO the hem
give the Empire effect For this style
of gown the jacket should be short
either an embroidered bolero or some
short Empire Jacket opened up high ia
back so as not to interfere with the
loose plaits OF velvet In the gown The
sleeves are quite short in all Empire
models, the collar is unusually high and
the skirt must be longer than the aver
age, with decided train, for all possi-
bic height must be given 10 Counteract
the short WASTED effect
Bou embroidery and braiding are
made use OF to trim this seasons velvet
gowns. In black the embroidery Is all
IN blaCk silk. with perhaps a touch OF
silver or gold, but the light effect is
brought by contracting cOlors IN the en-
Droldery or By light and dark shades of
the one color. Even lf the dress itself ia
trimmed only with lace the jacket may
nave any amount of embroidery and
braiding.
