The Train Sweeps In Dignity Across Fashion
Stage Skirts Are Short, Full and Fluffy With
FrilS - Silver Lace and Tissue Lends It's
Moonlight Clean To Evening Attire.

20 OF in years has the Capital city
seen such a gay season. The
presidential wedding was, of
" Id course, the impetus that set the
social ball a-rolling, and the revolu-
uons thereof have been more and
more rapid as the weeks have drawn
closer to Lent, when all social gaieties
cease in Washington. Balls there
have been, and small and select pri-
vate dances; dinners Of state and more
informal but quite as important din

ceptions I'D teas have followed upon
each others heels with .bewildering
rapidity
Evening Gowns Alike in Silhouette.
All the new costumes for gaslight
wear bear striking resemblance to
one another in one respect. They all
begin with next to nothing at the top
and spread outward to enormous
width at the foot. In some cases this
width Is made to emphasize itself by
way Of crinoline support underneath;
in other cases the rich fabric falls,
fold upon fold, in soft, graceful lines.
The younger women favor the saucy,
fitting skirt with its hooped effect,
but this skirt must be worn very short
to look attractive, and the majority
Of matrons who hold high places in
official society are neither young
enough nor slim enough-and far too
conservative in taste-to faunt them
selves in billowing skirts that reveal
a good deal more than the ankles.
So at Washington one has noted a

and with full materials draped to give
lines of grace rather than piquant
gaiety. A gown in point is a model
of jade green brocaded faille and sill

ment Of dignity, yet 1t is perfect in
its modishness and its conformity to

frocks that hitherto possessed them
not and every new gown turned out
for the late season has included a
train in It's design, Sometimes the
train is incorporated with the gown
itself but much more frequently, as
has been said. 1t depends from the

Floating Laccs Replace Sleeves.
Few women have arms beautiful
enough to dispense entirely with
sleeves New Workers do not seem
to have discovered this That Wash
ington women have is proved by the
graceful devices that replace sleeves
when sleeves are absent. Lace Is
draped in a number of ways to veil
but not hide the arm; sometimes there
are long sleeves of tulle, banded at
the wrist; again wing sleeves of tule
float about the arms and shoulders.
Several evening gowns have shown
scarves of lace caught at the back
of the bodice and looped partly over
the arm to veil the section of arm
between shoulder and elbow that is
not always beautiful.
Lace has been used most charm
ingly to veil the arms in little dance
frock in Parry pink. Parry uses so
many tints and tones of pink that al
most any shade Of pink might be
called Parry pink, but this frock
really comes from Parry, so its par
ticular pink is vouched for. The un-
derskirt is Of pink Georgette crepe
and over this Is an overskirt OF rather
stiff and heavy brocade, with wide,
curving stripes In pink and silver on
a paler pink ground. The weight of

After this outburst, Mae Hope, a
would-be song writer, sank into a
| chair, thrust bulky envelope from the
Frank Charity Music Publishers into
her desk, and sat hopelessly gazing at
the small epistle from the same office
and with a slight touch of humor and
faint suggestion Of a smile, recited
the contents Of that letter-not
through the envelope, which she had
not opened, but from memory:
"Sorry, Miss Hope, that this is not
yet quite up to the standard, but sim
cerely trust you will not be discour-
aged, ETC., ETC."
For three years Miss Hope had been
receiving these distressing notes from
the genial young publisher, who could
not summon the courage to advise her
to give up. Perhaps he realized it was
merely a case of humoring an imag-
mary talent rather than attempting to
earn living as the young lady's in
