AS IN DAGUERRE0TYPE DAYS
and Low Cut Necks Arc
Now In Order.

Short sleeves and low cut neck in
an afternoon frock Is one of the pref
tiest new ideas that have been sent
over from Paris. Long ago such
gowns were worn way back In
daguerreotype days. Those who may
not wish to 60 about with bare arms
and uncovered throat will probably do
just as they did in those days-wear
tucker and undersleeves.
Another fashion is that Of after
noon gowns OF fragile materials. like
chiffon and net. They are in black
or dark colors and have a certain
heaviness given them by the trim
mings of velvet or satin. In some
models they are almost covered with
encircling ribbons OF velvet or satin.
This seems to give such gowns the
quality Of solidity needed in daytime
light
Drop skirts that do not come to the
transparent hens OF these gowns
make them look disconcertingly short.
They give filmy dress edge that is
almost necessary in the abbreviated
frOcks.
