l am told that stripes are to be fully as
popular as they were last season, which
is good news for small women and for
the overstout who try wildly to have an
empire figure.
Poor women, How some of them man
age I don't know. 1t is hard luck to be
forced to look straight up and down when
you naturally grow in pronounced bulges.
At several receptions lately l have no
ticed stunning black satin gowns. These
have one advantage-they are suitable
both for afternoon and for evening wear.
In most cases they are simply trimmed
with black hand embroidery and are
worn with white net guimpes.
One dainty gown which I noticed par
ticularly had absolutely tight-f1tting satin
sleeves to the elbow, where they were
supplemented by long cuffs of coarse
shirred black silk net with big plated
frills extending over the knuckles The
neck was shirred in round Dutch fashion,
showing the wearers pretty white throat
fitting along plain empire lines. II was
heavily embroidered in black and gold
thread.
You have no idea how useful such
dress can be. 1t may be worn for any oc-
casion save shopping. I have seen sew

sold at this time Of the year for those
going to the Riviera and to Florida.
Old rose predominates among the fash
