Tue Spotess White Pearls and Suer Lace Achieue the ldea Summer Party Frock Black Euening Gopns Particularly
 Distinguished Partu Pettcodts With Hoobs

with saucy farthingale hoop at the hip. This model, as has been said, is by Doucet. The petticoat of silver embroidered pink chiffon falls over one of silver net and in the latter is the farthingale hoop, made of feather bone tubing run through shirred cas- ings on each side of the-skirt. The pannier drapery is of pink satin In ombre shadings, light to dark pink. At one side the drapery is caught up with pink satin carnations The satin bodice is caught to a trans parent yoke of flesh pink net which is outlined with pearl beads. Rather ingenious is the arrangement of circular satin bands at the waistline, which suggests the 1880 bodice, over- tapping the skirt.
 The turquoise and silver frock by Callot is even more lovely. Silver lace is generously used with the rich silver and turquoise brocaded satin and un- der the lace skirt is a shorter skirt of white chiffon. Note how the skirt draperies slope downward toward the back to blend with the line of the lit- tie train which is quite separate from the skirt itself, dragging from the waistline. This Callot frock has also, you perceive, the 1880 bodice. sloped off at the shoulders and boned at the point in front. Silver slippers and white silk stockings accompany this frock; glazed kid slippers in pale pink with stockings to match, the Doucet frock. o
 For a brown-eyed young woman, surely, Is the gold and yellow dance frock which comes last on the list for description. This frock would be lovely, also. in pale blue and silver, or in pink and silver; but somehow in gold and pale yellow it seems to have a distinctive and unmatchable charac- ter. The skirt, of daffodil yellow taf- feta, is distended by two rows of feath- erbone cording run into the silk at the foot. The girdle Is of the daffodil taf- feta and also the puff below the girdle I-the latter drawn tightly and rather nigh about the waist to give the indis- pensable effect of trimness From the girdle escape floating ends of gold net on which gold leaves drift carelessly. Over bodice made of gold leaves, lgold net is drawn up over the shoul- ders. An under bodice and the short sleeves are of pale daffodil tulle.
 White Frocks With Pearls, Black Ones | With Jet.
 Both white dance frocks and black dance frocks are fashionable this sum- mer-black ones particularly so, though perhaps this only appears to be the case, since one black evening frock stands out conspicuously in a room full of white or pastel coIored frocks. DoeG.slet make, entrancingly lovely white frocks which are coveted by debutantes and dowager alike. For a debutante. however, is a little Doeu- iflet frock of white tulle embroidered with pearls and outlined at hem and decolletage with pearls The girdle is made of three strands of pearls. Un- derneath is a skirt of silver tissue and three pink rosebuds nestle in the cor sage. Equally compelling a black Doeuillet dance frock; the skirt and narrow, dragging train from the waist. of black satin. the bodice of white lace darned with black and sil- yer threads. No sleeves at all has this gown but shoulder straps of jet beads continue in long loops that fall below the waist at front and back of the cos tune.
