Black satin was used for collar cuffs
and girdle, and shadow lace for the
tie. The waist is fashioned on Balkan
lines, now so fashionable for general
wear. The skirt has close-fitting
front and back panel and narrow
lines at waist, hips and hens II
is one of the few models intended
particularly for outdoor sports, morn
ing and business.
Frocks for afternoon might very ap-
propriately be called by our mothers
evening dresses-not. however. by our
great-great grandmothers, whose after
noon dresses approached the evening
style quite as closely as do our own in
their decoletege, diaphanous shoulder
effects and wisps Of sleeves. So history
is repeating itself Chiffon, mousseline
de sole, tulle and lace are the fabrics
chosen for these waists, tunles ana
overdresses The waists are very low in
front and very transparent about the
neck and shoulders. The sleeves are
such in name only They are frequently
but few inches long and also of trans
parent fimsiness. The gloves worn with
these sleeves should extend almost to
the shoulders. Since the shoulder
drapery has become a smart style fea-
ture and reaches we'll over the arm. a
small, closely fitted sleeve-cap is insert
ed in the waist drapery, or attached to
the underwaist or cachet TO prevent ex-
posure Of the underarm.
Many of the skirts for wear with
these lovely sheer bodioes are made of
silk or soft satin. They are wrapped
about the form in folds over the hips
and in narrow lines about the hem. and
are slashed at front sides or back to
lpermit Of easy walking II is at the hem
where the sharp contrast is made be-
tween afternoon and evening frocks, as
no trains are seen on gowns for after
noon wear. 1t is rare when any Of the
material Of the wrapped skirt appears
above the high waistline unless in the
folds of the girdle OF in fiuted. pleated
and pointed effects Skirts Of mousse
line de sole. chiffon and net accompany
waists of similar materials When the
development is in these fabrics they are
almost invariably founced These
I iounces may be pleated OF gathered, a.

4 hem, in two. three or more tiers. The
three tier skirt is, at present, most fash
ionable. A wide ribbon grrdle accom-
fpahies this style of frock. alnan
Although much has been written Of
the girdle. "the last word" remains to
be said. as new methods or tying or or
namenting are continually being intro
duced. At present a girdle that has won
much favor is brought loosely about the
waist in soft. crushed effect and termi-
mates in wired butterfly bows at center
front or back. the ends being folded un-
derneath of the tunio. Il Is made of
tulle. printed gauze, embroidered chiffon.
or soft velvet or satin. the softness or
the fabric being the prime essential Of
the girdle.
But afternoon froelSs Of perishahle
fabric, although preferred, are not al
ways most serviceable. They soil easily
and cleaners bills come high For this
reason many women prefer a silk frock
Of rather dark tone. Such a frock may
be seen in the second illustration
