The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1912-06-08

An interesting feature in evening
dress now is the predomina-cn Of
yellow. No display of handsome ev-
eniDe gowns is without its compile
lment Of yellow models. and the fash.
ionable yellows range from Il pale buff
tint to a deep canary. Quantiti-~ Of
lace used as trimming soften these
yellow gowns and prevent any sus-
gestfon of the c%rudeness that strong
yellow tones in costume are apt to
have: and sometimes veilings of white
chiffon or fine net over yellow satin
produce a most beautiful effect. Few

or a drapery of black diamente net

a yelling of white so that the contrast
produced by the black touch is never
too strong.
Green and Yellow Favorites.
Next to yellow. Jade green seems to
be the favorfte. In truth. these two
sophisticated colors hav almost driv-
en- the innocent pinks and blues from
the field. except for .debutante veal
Jade green is a particularly sophisti-
SdtSu SIldUG-duQ d very lovely one,
when combined with delicate white
lace and trimmings of pearl or crystal.
A Jade green chiffon dinner gown de-
signed by Cheruti for wear during the
coming Newport season has the
classically simple lines which mark
the aristocratic evening costume now.
There is a tunic Of the jade green
chiffon falling over a skirt of white
satin. and silver fringe at the foot of
the tunic makes it drag heavily over
the close-fitting skirt beneath. Down
the center back of the gown, from
shoulder to end of train. goes a band
Of sparkling diamante trimming five
inches wide, and this is thanked. be-
low the waist. by sash endse of black
velvet which brow the rhinestone
panel into high relief.
Over the shoulders. bust and arms
droop graceful bertha draperies Of the
yer fringe and starting at the back
from the panel of diamante trimming.
When a tiny edge of this sparkling
trimming costs from a dollar to two
dollars a yard. the expensiveness of a
flNe-tnch band from shoulders to skirt
hem may be imagined. But no cou-
turier will touch a grand toilette for
thousand francs-or about two hum
dred dollars of American money-and
nowadays the ordinary dressmaker
asks. at the very least, twenty-five dol
lars for the mere making of an even
ing gown: this price not including a
single item of material. And the Or
binary dressnlak er cannot build a sat-
lsfactorN evening gown either-her
fetish is tit and anything resembling
what used to be called "a neat fit is

lines and classic drapery effects AMI

rather than a smartly laced and cor

dance gowns for later wear at New

colonies, are bringing back the most

trays of the special costume trunk,
long enough to carry skirts laid out at
full length. Nose of these lovely sum-

draperies of one sort or another, and
lace is a particular ~favorite for effects
