worn delectable frocks that are cross
between elaborate evening costumes and
that have an intellectual expression OF
their own and are not to be confoundeI
with more frivolous dinner, tea. reception
or theater costumes.
The club frock is usually In some subtle
color like taupe elephant gray. night blue
or one of the peculiar violet tones which
look blue or wine colored in certain lights.
and distinctly mauve amethyst in
others. Chiffon IS not favored for club
frocks-it is too fi,ny and feminine and
frivolous. Usually materials of thin silk
and wool. or of permo are selected for
these frocks. Older women wear rich
satinS or velyets.
A society woman of prominence who
presided at a fashionable club meeting
the other morning wore a wonderful
frock all in corroded gold and green tones
that was as artistic and subtly mysteri
ous-aS one woman enthusiastically ex-
claimed-as an old sundial that had stood
out in all weather for centuries. The
frock was built Of bronze green permo
and green and gold silk brocade, the yell
lowish green tints of corroded bronze I'm
the latter material. The foot of the tunie
was bordered with the brocade and with
a strip of coarse. dull gold lace weighted
with tarnished gold cord. At the top of
the booice was a yoke OF bronze chiffon
over the same lace and in the corsage
was tucked a huge dull gold rose.

spent by most women in long walks
over the hills-walks which the fair
participants called "tramps," and
everybody returned TO luncheon with
bright eyes and glowing cheeks which
testified to the benefit of the exercise
Even the simple costumes donned for
these morning walks were inspirations
in smartness. Many of the women wore
white, for this color is now the fad for
out-of- door wear. One young matron
who spent her week at Hot Springs in
vigorous endeavor to walk off twenty
pounds top much of flesh started out
each morning in short skirt and
jacket of light brown tweed, with
heavy tan tramping boots and dogskin
gloves. Under the short brown skirt
she wore knickers of brown satin, and
her blouse was of white flannel with a
soft collar and narrow brown silk
four-in-hand tie. Her hat was a brown
corduroy Alpine with two scarlet quilts
poised directly across the back. Over
this hat was draped a brown chiffon
veil. for there is nothing, so say the
beauty wiseacres. that wards off
freckleS like brown chiffon.

Valentine suppers and luncheonS should

maids-to-be were entertained by the pro-
spectiye bride, and beneath the cluny-
trimmed centerpiece and doilies were
circles of pink satin. pink satin ribbons

which was oblong. From the chandelier
hung huge pink crepe paper rose. from
the center Of which little china Cupid
swung on pink ribbons. Vases of pink
carnations and pink candles covered with
mink paper shades completed the rosy .ef-
feet. and the glasses in which the brides
health was drunk-in lemonade-Were
made to look like blossoming roses with
pink crepe paper petals lnfololng tne
glass portion and green crepe paper
wound around the stem.
For each pretty maid there was PINK

This notion of frocks in artistic har-
mony for mother and debutante daughter
has been a fad of the winter and some
of these color combinations have been
exquisite-though ii does seem a pity to
have a debutante in anything but white.
Beside a little debutante in pale pink the
other afternoon stood young mamma

roses, was thrown into a cameo-like re-

sleeves.
One of the daintiest conceits of the
winter is the dancing frock with trailing
rosebuds or clusters of blue forget-me-
nots, painted by hand on sheer chiffon.
A little pink chiffon frock of this sort.
worn at the Junior Cotillon early this
month, had clusters of moss roSebudS con-
nected by festoons of pink ribbon, all
fon ground. This hand-painted chiffon
was mounted over white chiffon. under
which was a faint pink satin slip. The
exquisite effect may be imagined. A yell
low chiffon frock worn at the same dance
had a line of yellow daffodils springing
up above the lace band at the foot of the
tunic, the yellow flowers on the pale yell
low ground being rather indicated than
painted, the shadow tones being washed
In with cool pale green, and the stems
and leaves also being green. There were
more tulips and more lace on the bodice,
and the frock was completed by a droop-
ing sash of pale yellow and pale green
satin ribbons knotted together.

high but soft turnover collars worn with
neat, narrow silk ties, or-when a fur
