Of the chiffon bodice. and across the

straight lines to the floor. and either

folds to display a petticoat Of white
satin beneath. Boots Of pale Y pink
satin with rhinestone buttons accom-
pany this gown. and for the hair there
Is an ornament Of spun glass and

Tulle Saslcs.
An interesting note Is the use Of
tulle sashes at II knee. to hold in
place folds Of heavier drapery. A
gown of this sort. by Francis. has a
blue brocade. the train in this in
stance sweeping from tho shoulders.
At the waistlinc there is IA drapcd GRID
le of h brocade passing owe the
train at the back. and at the knee a
draped sash Of white tulle also passes
over the brocade train. dragging 1t In
against the limbs at the back, while
In front h tulle sash rises to meet a
pannier tunic of the white tulle. The
bodice Is Of the tulle and has bands
Of min along its edge over the shout
ders. Boots Of turquoise satin with
pearl buttons match this gown, and
the couture ornament Ia of blue. green
and silver tissue caught with a pearl
cabuchon.
Despite the recent ban on lowneck-
ed frocks by the d%ignitaries Of the
Catholic church-the papal edict CONF
polling the wearing of high-necked
evening gowns at all social functions
at which the clergy are present-there
seems to be no evidence of less ex-
IRENE decolletage in opera costumes.
Some of the new evening gowns are
cut out at the neck with daring reck-
l%essness. the material being clipped
away not only at the back and over
n hust but below the arms also. In
all cases this extreme decolletage Is
yelled with some almost transparent
fabric. like chiffon or tulle, but the
effect is startling. none the less. and
IN mos cases very beautiful, for the
sheer. yelled evening bodices of the
moment are much softer and more be-
coming than a heavier fabric cut out
IN a harsh line to form a more modest
decolletage.
Sleeves Divide Honors.
Sleeves divide honors between long,
mousquetaire effects to the wrist and
the merest shoulder straps Of pearl or
diamante trimming, or of fur. The
long sleeve is much used or restaurant
and theater gowns. and the shirred
net. drawn up in mousquetaire effect.
is much more fiattering to most arms
than the short sleeve. Few
have beautiful arms. If the shape is
slender and we'll rounded, without
either angles at the elbow or heayi-
ness above this point the color is ant
to De wrong. and anything more hide
u than a red. notified or freckieo
arm accompanying an evening gown
OF delicate fabric. 1t would be hard
to conceive.

enchanting frocks of flounced net are

TO- catch up the lace draperies. Bead.
ed laces are a new note. and the bead
ed nets and chiffons for tunics are
in their heaviness Of weight
and flminess and fragility Of fabric.
White yet is extremely fashionable,
and is often combined with black let
in bead embroideries. A gown Of this
sort has a tunic of white net, en-
broidered with white and black let,
over a skirt OF white satin yelled
with a founce of black Chantilly. one
huge red rose. near the hem Of the
skirt. catches up the lace. The bodice
or white tulle Is outlined along the
square decolletage at back and front
by lines of black jet, and across the
square at front and back are set straps
of white Jet embroidery. The turic Of
white and black jet crosses this little
transparent net bodice and falls over
the skirt in long. clinging lines. Boots
OF white satin with u jet buttons
complete the striking costume.
