a new feature, being cut shorter in the
front than IN the back. Buttons of
black Jet and a black velvet collar en-
broidered in floss of the same shade as
the dress make a snappy combination.

Classic Dinner Gown
The dinner gown affords an excellent
example of the combination of classic
simplicity with modern smartness. The
underdress is of ivory tulle embroidered
IN gold; the tunic being of sinuous
satin, slightly darker in shade than the
tulle and fringed in dull-gold bullion.
through the top of which is run a wide
crushed ribbon of changeable radiun
silk, closely harmonizing the different
sheens of the gown. A black velvet
ribbon twisted through the embroidery
OF the sleeve gives finishing touch
that stamps it as Partisan creation.
Handsome Black Costume
Since the black gown is decidedly the
most smart thing of the season, the de-
butante may at last satisfy her longing
tor costume of black velvet without
fear of the accusation of having Dor
rowed from her grandmother's ward
robe. The skirt is of the circular-gored
type, with wide hem at the bottom.
The drapery falls over the left hip and
disappears in the center folds of the
back of the skirt at the right side, being
caught just above the knee with a let
buckle. The girdle is of the soft folds

the elbow, where the dead luster is
relieved by six tiny jet buttons, and very
fine transparent ruffles of soft cream
linen of almost cobweb-like texture, the
yoke being of drawnwork to simulate
tiny cobwebs and of the same material
as the rufles of the sleeve and chou.
Curled Caps from Paris
Hair caps for all occasions are the
very latest aids to beauty and comfort
that the ingenious Frenchwoman has in
vented. The lining is sort of hair
webbing, into which little curls are
woven, sometimes as many as twenty of
these to a cap, but others have only
eight. They are kept in a box that is
highly scented, SO that, as the head
moves, the curls give off a pleasant
odor.
he woman who uses them does her
own hair up on top of her head in a
tight knot. Around her hat is sewed a
pretty coil of hair, SO that when she
puts on her hat she is ready for the
street, and need not wear all the hair
she owns in a cumbersome couture.
Then, when she arrives home, she takes
off her hat and the cap is real boon.
She just pins the cap on top of her
head with four amber pins, shaped like
buckles, to hold it in place. At the back
is wide satin bow of blue, or some
other color, which serves to prop up the
edifice and impart dressy look.
There are caps for breakfast, caps for
| luncheon, caps for afternoon wear on at
home days, caps for the evening. In the
latter the curls are shorter and there
are more of them.
| Undoubtedly all these caps are won-
derful convenience, saving infinite time
and trouble. Needless to say, they are
becoming widely popular.
