decolletage of the bodice, are rhine- l stone defined. On the front of the 1 opening, but dropping down over the I brocaded girdle, is a huge cluster of i! pink roses.
 1 A line of sable crossing one sleeve above the elbow gives cachet to a pink and silver reception gown, which the infatuated young prince of the fairy tale would instantly have purchased for Cinderella had she had the luck tc see it. The sleeves of silver net are
 twice tucked above the elbows, where the material is gathered under deep and full ruffles of silver lace.
 At the normally placed shoulders these sleeves are gathered into the arm eyes of a silver net bodice whose pointed decolletage is slightly over larped at the right side by a high girdle bodice of silver brocaded rose l taffeta, which. at center, begins to narrow toward the left side.
 Across the back the girdle is of even height. The sable band men- toned hides the gathered-on edge of l a silver lace ruffle yelling the girdle- l bodice almost half way to the waist, ! and where the fur-edging takes a
 rather abrupt downward trend at cen- 1 ter two roses are clustered
 1 Silver Lace I4engthcns the Overskirt. 1 The under-dress, simply cut and
 falling plainly to the floor is more
 than two-thirds covered by an over 1 skirt, full-pleated to it's concealed
 waistband Caught up rather higher
 at the right side. this overskirt is
 heightened considerably by a silver
 lace ruffle, much wider than those 1 trimming the sleeves.
 l A modern Cinderella means to wear with this hrocaded creation a pair of l silver-heeled pink satin slippers. They are many sizes larger than the famous l crystal pair, for she is an athletic girl, l and her feet are we'll developed | Most stunning among the evening wraps brought from Paris by those war-alarmed refugees who had gold to spare for clothes and the wit to cling
 to their luggage is creation of pink taffeta-a double cape. The lower section, elaborately silver embroidered, falls in full folds from the shoulders to half way between the knees and ankles There it is gathered across the back to form a long, loose puff
 coming above-but not overhanging-
 a train lying half yard on the floor.
 Hood Combination of Box P1eat.
 Plain taffeta forms the upper por- ton of the wrap. This takes the shape
 of a cape whose back is centered by a
 single broad box pleat, which, a few
 inches below the hips, drops trifie
 over a band of skunk edging it all around, as we'll as forming a high
 standing collar. Across the back the
 loose top of the box pleat is turned
 over and gathered to form a hood, which, however, is not a practical af- fair. The fronts of the upper cape,
 barely extended to the waist-line, are> box-pleated broadly but loosely to
 give additional fulness about the shoulders and gradually slope in graceful curves over the hips.
 A beautiful wrap worn by middle aged, snowy-haired matron at the
 opening performance of one of the
 successful dramas of this season was
 of rose taffeta. embroidered with tiny
 circlets of silver braid. The cape
 shaped garment was really long only
 at the back. There it stood out above
 the train of the gown worn beneath it,
 while at the sides, where 1t was con-
 siderably shorter, it showed ten
 dency to cling to the figure. The
 fronts, fitted loosely over the shoul-
 ders, were shorter than the sides and,
 like many of the wraps of this season
 had no fastenings. It was simply held
 together with the fingers of the left
 hand.
