soft, supple texture. something like the
fine Italian silk of which womens un-
dergarments are made. A white ball
gown Of this fabric draped over satin
jupe was embroidered with white silk
floss. the Jersey cloth tunfc being soft
ly draped about the figure as far up as
the bust, where a pearl embroidered
banding separated it from a yoke of
white Mechlin lace.
White dotted nets and the all-over
laces are used for fluffy dancing frocks
for debutantes, and these charming
frocks are looped up in a charming, old
fashioned style with festeons and clus
ters of tiny roses and forget-me-no
the flowers matching the color of the
frock lining-always pale tint. Usual
ly these net dresses have underslips of
chiffon and sometimes there are two
chiffon drops in different shades OF the
same color, producing very pretty eff
feet.
Fur is immensely popular for evening
wear, and many of the most fragile
evening frocks show borders of dark
fur, skunk, sablo and lynx being the

draped surplice bodice and long
tunic drapery was trimmed with bands
of skunk fur which edged the tunic.
and also the very deep decolletage of
the V-shaped surplice bodice
Many OF the new evening and dinner
gowns coming from Paris now show

wraps the costly and rare white fox is

A square train is now being used on
some evening gowns, and the court
shape comes as a relief from the round

back from the side and rests on the
floor in straight lines The square eff

gauze or net which drops from the
shoulders in plain, sweeping line. The
effect is generally pleasing in most
cases.
Sweaters are considered indispens-
able, nowadays, in the autumn outfit.

hints which are cropping out in the
fall showing. New lines in collars

the models shown. A jaunty sweater of

This sweater. buttoning at the side with
huge white buttons. is excellent for a

The attractive youthfulness OF sail
