Dignified Young Woman Never Carries Herself AWkWardly
|Designed Especially for An Exceptionally Tall Young Beauty Is Dinner Gown With Underskirt of Pearl Beaded White Brussels Net.

among the advance importations for
 early autumn. This appendage be- longs to a robe dinterieur of silver brocade. It starts from the fronts
 as the lower portion of tunlc, worn over chiffon slip and the slender ! hip lines which contribute so mate l raly to the effect of the train are
 produced by gathering the back i fitness under frillheaded cord1ng 1 crossing the figure several inches be- 1 low the waist line. Because the 1 square end of this train is noticeably l narrower than the top, it apparently adds as many inches to the height and ! as much of stateliness to the bearing 1 of it's wearer as does the one on the ] m burning dinner gown.
 For the Tall Girl.
 i Let no one imagine that the wisp- like train is to be despised because l it is mentioned in frivolous terms. Ton the contrary, it is the sort of long skirt which many women carry re- markable well. It is precisely the one for the girl who considers herself over tall For while it does not make her look taller-owing to it's habit of coil i1g itself behind the heels-lts
 presence gives her a sense of dignity which she feels in duty bound to live ur to. And a dignified girl never car ries herself awkwardly.
 Narrow Underskirt with Slender Train.
 Designed especially for an excep- tionally tall young beauty is the din- ner gown whose underskirt of white Brussels net is pearl beaded in a con- ventional pattern. Caught in so close
 ly about the ankles that the feet ap-
 pear to be emerging from Turkish
 trousers legs, the narrow train looks
 more like the fallen end of a scarf tran a part of the gown.
 The white sleeveless tunc is made
 of two lengths of chiffon gathered
 under narrow bands at the shoulders, crossed in front over a beaded Brus- sels lace plastron and irregularly
 caught to the waist line under the
 narrowest Of breaded girdles. The
 drawn-up sides of this tunic, which at front and back falls to below the
 knees. contribute to the shortening effect demanded by this young woman, who as yet has not learned to appre- clate her exceptional height.
 Noluminous Draperies of Cream Lace.
 Fashion has launched a train cer- tain to delight the young matron- who SceS Tn LOT stately poses and who expresses scorn for the modern dances which she probably does not genuinely feel. Even if tempted by thei rhythm of the music, she could not accomplish the maxixe steps while wearing this new model in cream lace and black satin. For so closely is it's satin slip held held in below the knees and so heavily is it's long and pointed yet ripping train weighted, that with every forward step the skirt is dragged backward from the ankles. Neverthe- less it's effect is not slender above the knees, where the cream lace draper les are VoluminOuS, and at the back are caught high under the wide two- loop brow of the satin, set diagonally.
 In this gown is seen a novel express sion of the fitted high girdle. It is of satin in empire width and shape, and it's tulle ruche-edged top makes a dis tinct though soft line against bodice in cream lace. Black tulle bor- ders its looped-up sleeve-caps, and from the right shoulder a length of the gauge runs down the back over the girdle under the diagonally set DOW and becomes a sash end, falling below the left hip.
