NEW YORK, June 24.-There is
only one fashion artist who can do
pictorial justice to the clothes that
New York women are now wearing,
and that is Helen Dryden I said to
myself as l came out of Waldorf
peacock alley and walked down
Fifth avenue. Words cannot describe
the costumes of the society women,
who, on account of the opening of
the race track and the international
polo games, have remained in New
, York longer this summer than usual.
Miss Dryden, the cleverest fashion
illustrator in New York, graciously
agreed to draw some of the most up
to-date details of costumes for the
Evening Star. And, little later, we
strolled up the most beautiful city
street in the world and went to tea
at the Plaza.
THE styles were never so beautiful
as now" said Miss Dryden, but"
she added as l lifted my eyebrows
little, they were never so often
| caricatured by women who are not
| close observers and who lack fine
pointed taste"
Surely you don't think that woman
looks WE'LL" I said
mo. of course not" she answered.
'She is a chorus girl who has strayed
over here from Broadway, and she is
fine example of What not to do to
| be in style!'
The girl in question was rarely
| beautiful in form and feature, but
she had exaggerated every one of
the new ideas.
Fashion became folly in her case.
Her face was covered with the new
''cubist" powder which all smart New
York women are using. This powder
is deep tint of yellowish brown and,
used with discretion, it gives one a
look of healthy tan. The little chorus
| girl had used it plentifully, but had
also put on brilliant lip rouge, not
realizing that when a woman tans
all her ooloring, cheeks and lips, takes
on brown tint. She had also made
her throat very, very white. She
looked like a clown, but a girl who
came in later was a picture, although
she had used the same aids to &C
centuate her beauty.
AS a matter of fact your throat
and that part Of your chest that is
invariably shown nowadays, for nc
one wears a eollar-must be whittier
than your face, as the sun does moi
get to your neck so quickly. A very
little brownish-red rouge can be used
at the base of your neck to give the
idea of sunburn.
Four out of six stylish women wear
all black this spring and an all black
costume, with white ruffles at the
neck and wrists, on a woman pow
dered to stimulate tan, is as beauti-
full as it is stunning.
Every season there is one hat which
takes precedent over all the others
This summer it is a very small black
turban, with an outstanding frill Of
tulle all about it. You can veal
either black paradise or numed
feathers or even black ribbon bow
on it If you wish and still be ''er
regal"
One of the newest and pretties
fashions is white or black SAITH
skirt made plain and narrow ant
folded over with deep slash in thu
back. over this the coat is o
, block printed linen in a big cubis
} design.
More than half the women at tn
Long Island polo games, who did no
have on black costumes. wore thes
gay linen coats over skirts of eithe
| black or white.
The smartest coat of this kind a
