One of Many Flower Creations
Which Are Suggested for
Evening Gowns for the CON-
ing Fall.
silk and Chiffon, in Sweet Pink
and Stem Green, Arranged
in Loose Folds and Petal
like Draperies to. Represent
the Sweet Pea.

TROM the operskirts and ruf-
T. files, slim basque effects,
and panniers it did not take
any master mind to see the posi-
bilay of the evening gowns for the
comingsseason. Petals are instant
~ suggested by the ruffles, and the
slim silhouette brings to mind the
green stem of the flower. Deli
cate shades of pink Lavender, and
blue are constantly reproduced by
nature in the more formal flowers,
and there you are.
Evening gowns representing
flowers, formerly used solely for
the purpose of the nasque, mill
be fit and proper for the ordinary
dance in the fall. This Sweet pea"
gown is one of the latest models
from an ultra fashionable Nep
York establishment which caters
especially to the needs of women.
The gown proper is of delicate
pastel shade of pink and the oper-
drop of chiffon is in stem green.
: Soft pussy willow tafeta lends
itself admirably to the loops and
fields which constitute the petals
of the flower. The bodice is not
tight, but fits the form, the skirt is
built on the same form-ftting
lines, while. the chiffon drop and
the looped-up operskit efectually
add the embellishing touches.
A stem green accordion-pleated
petticodt peeps out from the hem,
and satin shoes, in either white,
stem green, or pink, may be worn.
An interesting touch may be
noted in the long string of beads
which holds on the end a lorgnette
of black bone or tortoise shell. No
longer need the near-sighted girl
be at a loss at the dance where
she has not wished to wear her
glasses. She may carry her lorg-
nette with every assurance these
days.

Night is the psychological time for
