caught at the left side of the figure

This girdling scheme is entirely new
and Of its grace there can be no ques-
4ion.
For rather portly woman to have
sssayed this model was certainly dar-
inc, but the one in question realized
that its general effect is one of straight
lines, that flmy black always makes
for an appearance Of slenderness, and
mat the slender girdle, low and loosely
falling, must necessarily lengthen the
Wais.
Beguilingly simple are certain of the
newest dancing frocks. Yet all are
eostly-from the viewpoint of the
moderately circumstanced who cannot
see why a satin froek, yelled with a
transparent overdress merely caught
up with a ribbon girdle or garland
Of roses, should carry a prohibitive
price mark Nevertheless, lovely as
are these loosely girdled frOcks, they

the afternoon models in chiffon and
satin.
Gray Chiffon With Rose Garlands.
Many Of the rose-girdled gowns are
in dove gray, but a paler tone of that
neutral shade is employed for a silk
slip which is yelled with a tunic of
silver thread embroidered chiffon.
The oyerdress, shaped to fit smoothly
across the shoulders, is vaguely held
in about the region of the waist with
a slightly diagonally placed rose gar
land. From there it falls in straight
loose folds almost to the hem of the
slip.
But the effect of its lines is short
saed because, to the knees, it is bor-
eered with 4 silver thread embroid-
cred role trells. Plain gray chiffon
sleeves, emerging from the small arm
eyes Of the short shouldered tunic, are
band gathered at the wrists, from
which fall deep frills. Charming for
young matron is this creation
though as a matter of fact it was
worn at Narrsgansett the other day
BY a girl who is just discarding
mourning. The rose girdle was her
hrst step toward adopting colors.
Medieval Gray Gown.
AOyen Age effects, revived by DOu-
esr which have so persistently pre-
scented themselves among the summer
creations, will not be relegated to the
background. On the contrary, they
pefseyere in their attempt to gain at
'entiou. Admiration is ungrudgingly
accorded to a model in gray chiffon
se'lsd delft blue silk. So eleverly is
