One of the most beautiful gowns was
that worn by Mrs. Leopold William
Bellak. whose creation of pink and
silver elected little murmurs of ad-
miration all the evening. The foun-
meteor, over which delicate sea-shell
pink chiffon fell in soft folds, forming
background for the brocaded silver
lace fiounces that gave the gown the
double skirt effect that promises to be
one of the springs most popular styles.
One hounce was applied about the
knee, falling to the foot, while the
upper founce formed the tunic. The
under fiounce was full enough to give
the prevailing wide effect at the foot.
The bodice was carried out in the
same manner. with the pink chiffon
covered with silver lace. the heavy part
of the lace being used about the waist
in lieu of a girdle The lace about the
decolletage and over the chest was
picked out with rhinestones and pearls
There were no sleeves, the bodice being
held in place by shoulder straps of the
pearls and rhinestones.
Delicate pink slippers with rhinestone
studded toes carried out the sparkling
effect, as did the high diamond comb
that shone in Mrs. Bellak's dark Golf
fure. A necklace of pearls and diamond
earrings and several diamond pins
further enhanced the beauty of the cos
tune. To carry out the silver effect the
ma tron selected d loose wrap of mole
skin. trimmed about the neck with a
touch of ermine.
