the floor. After dropping it she gave
quite a sigh or content at getting INTO
the Vatican blue taffeta gown with It's
short, fun skirt which allows her 70
walk and to dance with entire freedom.
The fabric used in this charming gown
with its strong tones of blue that bring
out the color in Miss Wilson eyes IS

one of the prettiest fabrics chosen by
Miss Wilson is an invisible striped, wa
tered blue taffeta- The skirt is short and
is modestly slashed back and front. where
il is filled in with pleatings. The hem
Of the skirt Is scalloped and bound with
a tiny edge of the fabric. There is a

high in the front. under the tulle drapery,
and is cut into two bretclles at the back.
There is wide ruche of the tulle around
the half low neck: the elbow sleeves are
distinguished for their extra deep rufties

moves.
The most graceful part OF this frock Is
the butterfly drapery of tulle at the back,
which begins at a high waist line under
a large girdle bow of taffeta held In the
center by large triangle buckle made
of strass stones set in silver.
Paris has set the seal of approval on
the long army cape of cadet blue cloth
as a wrap, and Miss Wilson liked this
model SO well that she chose it instead
Of a top coat. 1t is one Of the best of
motor wraps and she will also use it over
her going-away gown of blue gabardine.
1t hangs long and full from the shoulder,
has wide. high, rolling collar and a
straight piece across the front to pro-
tect the chest and waist line.
