L0W-CUT WAIST ESSENTIAL
Costume for Theater Must Have This
Oistinction-eoth Comfortable
and Suitable.

The low-cut waist is far more uni
versally popular since the wearing of
evening dress at the theater has be-
come fashionable. Today, although
there is no necessity for really de-
collete gown, the waist that is open
at the throat is correct in style and
incidentally Is far more comfortable
and suitable than the one made of
heavy material and with high boned
collar.
Theater dress is quite important
nowadays, and is practically the same
as the simple dinner dress. The DIFF.
ference between 1t and the ball gown
is evident to any one initiated into the
mysteries Of dress. 1t may be every
whit as costly as the ball gown, but It
must look less expensive and 1t must
be cut not so low and have, as a rule
longer sleeves.
This year there are many materials
that would seem to have been woven
especially for this use. Among them
are the fascinating wolfe de sole. dram
de sole, marquisette, and always the
old favorite chiffon and liberty satin
The satin-finished crepe de Chine and
lace, also, must not be FORGOTTEN

IS ONLY FOR EXPERT
eoRDURE FouLARDs NOT EASY
FOR ORDINARY DREssMAKER.
Beautiful Effects Are Produced In
Hands Of SkiIIfuI seamstress-
Seasons Models Less Attractive
Than Other Utility Gowns.

TN the whole the foulard models
this season are rather less attractive
than some of the other general utility
frocks, but one sees many that are
practical and pretty, the best being as
rule combined with plain one tone
SILK A large proportion Of the foulards
have borders. and borders, while
often beautiful. are never easy for the
ordinary dressmaker to handle. Per.
haps that is why so many of the sea-
sons foulard models leave much to
be desired
Successfully handled, the bordure
foulards make up very smartly and
the knowing makers do not hesitate
to cut the border OF and apply 1t
wherever 1t can be used to better pur-
pose In that way. A very simple dark
blue and white foulard model had its
deep brocade border utilized only on
the bottom of the tunic, while the
bodice trimming was of white en-
broidery.
The vivid colorings which this sea-
son Is displaying are undoubtedly bet
ter In one tone or changeable color
ings and In yelled effects than in the
figured silks, and that is another rea-
son why many of the foulards look
hot and garish, but in white and black
and in blue and white foulard is an in
dispensable summer standby for many
women, and there are some foulards
with dark grounds and very narrow
line stripes of color which make up
charmingly for one piece trotting
frocks.
Enormous amounts of etamine of
very fine wolfe and of chiffon are be-
ing used for everything from street
frocks to evening frocks, usually in
combination with plain silk of some
sort. and a very lovely sheer stuff,
known as satin wolfe meteore, is much
liked for dressy uses. 1t is a very
sheer silk wolfe with satin finish, often
changeable in coloring, and anything
lovelier in texture and coloring it
would be hard to imagine
Delicate pink, changing to lilac;
blue, melting into lavender; soft yell
low, changing to faint green; deeper
harmonies of fuchsia pink and purple,
king blue, and green-these are some
of the color schemes, and one may
have the material. too. in one tone
tints of great variety.
The changeable idea enters, too,
into some delightful, figured. sheer
stuffs. A wonderfully chic little frock

her back. IF anything in the world

this unbelievable situation. James,
are you shameless?"
But James was and didn't care who
knew 1t. And as there was nothing
else to do, and no one else to do it,
l stood very straight against the door

story from the very beginning. told

Aunt Selma crossed the library

stepped through the doorway and into
