Bodies Of FiImy Lace to Give
Appearance Of Low DecoI-
IetagO Shown.
g TTLE is largely matter Of

TNLB Is largely . matter o.
knowing what = not fashion
able and then avoiding those
features This season the evenine
gowns show no waist line. no sleeves
and no heavtness, but Empire snt
Japanese gtrdles, transparent bits OF
lace over fesh-oo'ored chlfnon. and g
light, flmy. fiurv sostness make tn,
new gowns adorable
In evening dresses there Is decid-
ed tendency away from Orientalisu
and the classic simplicity OF linz and
purity OF color - decided relief
after several seasons Of barbaric
gorgeousness The tendency is to-
ward the simple, girlish erfects which
made Josephine's court beautiful
Delicate shades with garniture OF
crystal. silver and gold have sup
planted brilliant colors which are now
used only as accents on the extreme
" popular black
No Harsh Lines Evident.
Nearly all evening gowns have
bodies OF flmv laces. most often
draped over a foundation OF hssh
colored chinons. so that the appear
ance Is Of an extremely low decol-
letage No harsh lines are evident
soft folds OF tulle hnish the decoIlete
bodice so that the material fairly
melts into the flesh.
All skirts are draped and nearly all
show the hsh -tail train, often mar
rowed 10 a sash width. Few skirts
are slit and the dancing trocles for
young girls have plated skirt 80
managed as 10 keep the requisite
slender silhouette
The japanese drapery toward the
center front IL adopted for beauty
perhaps, but more likely 10 conceal
the necessary bend OF the knee
But whatever the features, this
seasons evening gowns are Just a bit
lovelier than any past we can re-
member and the beautiful. delicate
garments appear like freshly blown
roses, fragile and elusive And in
Atlanta we have lovely examples.
