lar color of the season but black is
also much favored.
The gown pictured here was devel- |
oped in black plush. White satin bro
cade was used for the collar, cuffs,
girdle, and the pleated section az the
hem. The skirt IS fve-eored and has

white wing. a white fox muff and
stole carry out the color scheme. The
gloves of white. with black stitching

crate for any afternoon social func-

enough to go South for the midwinter
season, she will need a great variety
Of frocks of both heavy and light

A word about materials and color
combinations may not go amisa. These
materials are already on the market

ton OF green and tan shades OF linen,
