1t is for this reason that the swathed

eral tunics that can be posed over
one skirt of satin or brocade.
Those who have generous dress allow
ance will be able to have a widely varied
selection of evening gowns because of the
great number of different models now in
style.
Most of the new skirt models retain the
slash-it is still in evidence in most elabo-
rate evening gowns-but there seems to
be disposition to underset it with lace or
pleated chiffon or to fold over the skirt so
widely that little more than the ankle is
visible.

of the days of the hustle.
The minaret, or wired lamp shade, tunic
gown is made with both a long and a
short foundation skirt: long. if it is for
elaborate evening affairs; short, If it is
for the afternoon. These foundation
skirts are usually of velvet satin or
charmeuse, while the minaret tunic top
is of tuIle, chiffon or heavy metal net or
brocaded chiffon, often fur edged The
trains generally end in square cut shape.
In front they are slashed and crossed
widely, one side often being draped up,
while the other hangs straight.
The ruffled skirts are made in two or
three tiers, generally of lacy net and
lined with an equally filmy chiffon, tesn
or pink in color. Such dresses often have
an overdrapery of satin that sometimes
trails off to a panel-like serpentine train,
while the foundation dress is cut dancing

skirt is made by raising up the skirt
little in the centre, front or back. so that
the material falls in between the feet in
a trouser-like fashion.
Evening colors are wonderful together
