PARIS. June 27.-Evening gowns may
be so simply made today and of charm
ing fabrics that they no longer are re-
garded as luxuries. and nowhere are the
grace and beauty that are characteristic
of the midsummer modes more noticeable
than in these gowns. which are far and
away more charming and successful than
In any previous season. Also they have
a certain practicabilitv that speaks much
for the advance that has been made by
fashion designers In the way of confin-
ing the utlitarian with the purely artis-
tic.
This. however is point not always
so easy of achievement as it may sound
1t is one of the important features of the
newer evening gowns that. with all the
tendency to frills and furbelows, there is
usually symmetrical arrangement of
trimming which prevents the general en-
semble effect from assuming a mixed up
appearance that would be very apt to re-
suit otherwise. and there are iunumerable
subtle details that. though they tax the
ingenuity Of the designer, perhaps to the
uttermost. pass unnoticed. or at least
unappreciated. by the casual observer of
finished gown.
There is a new note about the evening
gowns that. though perfectly obvious to
the eye, Is difficult to describe. 1t is a
certain dropping effect. gracefully care
less. yet with an air of precision about 1t
altogether battling.
The model illustrated Is an excellent
example of this effect. Although one Of
the most conservative models, this type
of gown appeals very strongly because Of
its long lines, uninterrupted by the dra-
peries We have tired of long since.
1t is developed in crepe meteor in a
|
clair d'etoiles." which. literally trans
lated. means straight. and. though the
color is not changeable. 1t reflects misty
blue and silver in its weave.
This is used for the skirt-a long cling
ing one, with a slight train-and for the
ceinture sash. draped up to the bust line
in front and crushed at the sides and
back to tie into rather large bow. To
the lower edge of the ceinture is attached
short pleated tunic Of the same ma
terial which runs quite a bit longer to-
ward the back. There is a second longer
tunic Just below, of pure white shadow

degree of coldness maintained and the
