in velvet evening frocks. That deep
shade of blue called midnight is an
other popular color in velvet. in which
1T is especially rich and beautiful. and
sapphire blue is another popular shade
of that color. Purple is used, some
times combined with cerise or Ameri-

not long ago a violet ostrich feather
was used with an American beauty
rose.

for afternoon wear. for velvet is not
suitable for morning suits. there is Il

combination of velvet and chiffon.
The fashion for points is in full
swing. The new note in some OF the
autumn skirts is point. back and

lace Will be worn in the coming autumn
and winter And this is a hint that will

lace founces are mounted, one above

three of knifepleated crepe de chine
blue.and three of fine lace over a
foundation ruffle of gathered crepe de

this frock and a wrinkled basque of
black velvet that reaches just below
