IN militia of Cream Co1ored Spanish laco
is ready to wrap around the shoulders
or drapcd over the tall Spanish comb
in the couture.
A Poiret dance frock is suggestivelV
Spanish though this couturier is too
busy pushing forward Brittany and
Normandy fashions to bother much
with Andalusian styles. Nevertheless
his "Infanta" model is enchantingly
Spanish-and being named "Infanta,"
it is of course intended for a debu.
tante. Over a puffy skirt Of daffodl
yellow satin. distended at hip and
hem with stiffening so that it stands
out like the calyX of an Inverted flower
is a flounce of white tulle, attached
at the hip to a yoke Of crystal pail
lettcs. The bodice is Of white tulle
and across it from left shoulder to
right hip is scarf of f1ame-embroid-
cred daffodil chiffon. A startling touch
of color is added in a rosette bow OF
brilliant purple ribbon which bangles
from the hip at one side of the skirt.
When one paints a word picture with
yellow flame red and brilliant pur-
pie the result is apt to hurt the mem

Grafton of hues: but the colors are tha
soft sunset colors and blend, under
Poirets hand to u masterpiece of har-
mony.
From Callot comes a dance frock
Of black and gold and red brocade. Il
costume that is chiefly skirt for the
bodice is made of a strip of gold lace
that comes TO the armpits and is held
over the shoulder by straps Of gold

after a dancing costume worn by Sem

winter. is of black gauze shot with
silver lines and trimmed with ruff
fles of white lace. The ruffles are set
four inches apart and there are eight
of them on the skirt. The bodice is
of black lace over white tulle and u
white lace mantilla is draped to form
sleeves. on one shoulder is a cluster
OF red and yellow flowers.

brilliant note of the bolero and float

draped over the arms. Another frocS
for young girl shows its Spanish
influence in it's coloring, for it is mada
