OTHER COMING OUT FRocKs.
rhers are numerous plays on a frock OF

grsster number of color schemes when

u enhance the waist; again, the beaded or
bupIed trimming. and almost invariably

DEBUTANTE'S EVENING GOWNS.
The number of evening gowns an enter
prising young debutante will require Is
lard to calculate Naturally the number
will be regulated by her invitations and
not little by her strenuostty in the ball
room. Some. girls can only wear a ball
gown once before il must take trip to
the cleaners or the dressmaker's, so Wig
Srously do they enter into the spirit OF
the dance. 1t is well TO have at least
two satin evening gowns. They are good
old standbys when the chiffon ones are IN
the course Of repair. This season there
are so many simply enhancing allies OF
satin that it is not a difficult matter 70
select two very different in style, and the
iunics with touches Of fur are always
EASY TO manage.
The richer and heavier fabrics which
hitherto have been reserved for the
Eatrons are being appropriated by the
debutantes, and there is certainly some
thing very appealing in the lovely bro
.esded satins which fall into soft, sinuous
folds when draped around the hgure.
These more dignifed frocks-if they can
nus be eslgnated-should be fashioned
with train, and may be slightly slashed
al one side Of the skirt, IL ii is desired.
Tie style Of frocks of this type must be
chosen largely in regard to the person
atty Of the girl; some girls are years
cider at eighteen than. others with the
same birthday
There should also be included several
simple little dancing frocks, generally OF
fhiffon, fashioned 10 escape the floor, so
hat the wearer can enjoy good old

I'd chiffon frocks are ideal for this pur-
pose, and, in fact, they are charming for
any type Of evening gown. Pllsse chiffon
can be purchased by the yard in an the
delicate, pretty shadings. In the drawing
a ball gown Of this type has been shown,
The fitness Of the skirt has been caught
across the front TO give the effect OF an
soyerdress. while the bottom Of the skirt
Is outlined with beautifully tinted flow
.sTs, which wend their fiOwery path along
the edge Of the train. The skirt is slashed
al one side. the slashing being filled with
a fan Of tho plisse chiffon. This inset may

FOR DINNER AND THE THEATRE
For the dinner gowns there is not much
Inference in style. The decolletage OF
The dinner gown is never as low as that

role. The puff becomes elongated until
