Distinguished Party Peticoats With Hoops.

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
Cabot is even more lovely. Silver lace
is generously used with the rich silver
and turquoise brocaded satin and un-
der the lace skirt is 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, slopcd
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 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

feta. is distended by two rows of feath-
erbone cording run into the silk nj the
foot. The girdle is of the daffodil tat
feta and also the puff below the girdle
the latter drawn tightly and rather
high 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,
gold net is drawn up over the shout
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 colored
frocks, Doeuillet makes entrancingly
lovely white frocks which are coveted
by debutantes and dowager alike. For
la debutanto, however. is a little Doeu-

with pearls and outlined at hem and
decolletage with pearls, The girdle is
made of three strands of pearls. I'M
