If one is lucky enough to be invited to

dinner gown one possesses. For, Of course
the feast of feasts is the raison d'etre of
the gathering and will prove the main
feature of entertainment unless perhaps
a little dance Is arranged fer Thanksgiv-
ing eve. This dinner gown will have a
certain formally and dignity as BELTS its
character; it will trail gra efully over the
floor and will have more or less pro-
nounced decolletage.
Extremely decollete effects, such as are
seen at the opera in town, are not con-
sidered good taste for dinner party wear.
Most bodices are shaped in deep V. and
this decolletage is much deeper at the
back than at the front, the V often reach
ing within a few inches of the waist line
at the back
This is not saying very much in the way
of depth, however, as all waist lines on
evening costumes are high again and
empire effects are having tremendous
vogue. Women have discovered how pic
turesque and graceful is the heightened
waist linn-and also, be it whispered, how
fatterngly youthful. Nine out of every
ten evening gowns have the surpice ar
