A gown that is simple enough for
just everyday occasions, yet elegant
enough TO tale its place In the
''dress.up" class Is one Of the happy
dress creations brought forth for
the midwinter season. The old re-
liable blue serge was chosen by
Nine. Allie f. Bailey. Of the Fashion
Art League o: America, to develop
this useful frock, but the serge is
enhanced by black satin and black
braiding.
The dress is modern version of
the basque with a full tunic falling
from the waist over a circular skirt.
The basque is heavily braided back
and front and at the back 1t extends
almost TO the knee. A wide-pleated
band OF satin forms girdle which
is finished at the back In long
streamers.
The black satin vest buttoned up
to the chin, the long satin sleeve
with deep serge cuffs made charm

materials, serge and satin.
