Said she, Its just a touch that makes
the gowns
"oh, yes," he answered her with
peevish frown
The while he threw his empty check
book down,
ITS also just the touch that makes
the gown
NEW YORK, oct. 5.-To go shop
ping with Il husband in search Of Al
gown for his left at home spouse is a
liberal education in whats what for
the nonce in the mode. l did it yes
terday and here's where l pass on a
little of my liberal education to those
less sartorially erudiate.
The two main points CLEANED are
that you haven't any waist you are
all right but if you haven't any neck
YOU are lost. All of the gowns drag
ged out for our inspection were eth
er collared high and tight and choky
or else they showed what the sales
duchess assured us was the new neck
AAiA0. his llltdill ludl II is cut
straight across, following the line of
the collar-bone in front and the same
height in back. This is a most try
ing line unless the neck is a perfect
pillar of beauty, round and young and
fair, which ii isn't very often. This
same neck curved slightly to make a
rounded outline is a slight variation
offered but no supplementary collal
of 1an pr ttrtf al
lowed to relieve or soften the chaste
severity of it's contour.
Occasionally a narrow band of fur
or metallic or worsted embroidery, or
a narrow banding of beads $ allowed
to outline this new neck but such en-
bellishment accentuates rather than
a1leviates the hardness of the line. q
got all these perfectly good three syl-.
liable words from the les-duchess as
part of my liberal education)
High Collars Are Very High.
The high collars are made to fas-
ten almost up to ones ears. You've
probably heard about them but if you
don them you will never hear above
them SO muffled will your aural ap-
pendages become in their fur banded
tops. There will be an awful slump
in the ear muff market this winter.
These new choker collars will have
quite pushed them off the map and |
the face of things.
Satan will certainly be at a loss for |
an idle hand this season for every |
sort of gown, afternoon. morning |
house or evening is simply smothered |
in hand work of some sort, either |
in worsted, silk or metl- |
lie threads. braiding or beading.
Jet beading and fringe adds a gilt |
terry touch and metal brocades of all |
sorts and descriptions are used in |
every conceivable manner as trim
mings on all sorts of gowns.
Wide bands of furs. preferably fox, |
are shown as favorable garnishments
and are most effective bordering tu-
mic overskirts of Georgette or side
panels of Georgette which fall almost
to the top of the hem of the under
skirt. The fur bands are also stun
ming on the loose wide Chinese sleeves
of Georgette which are so popular.
Taupc is Favorite Shade.
Taupe. soft and subtle, is a favorite
shade and vies for favor with all
shades of blue from navy and mid
night to peacock and Natter. Combi-
nations of blue and taupe or blue and
grey are very good and you may be
slack and blue too if you wish to be
for combination of blue
serge and black charmeuse are de-
,idedly smart for shopping and morn
ng frocks.
Either YOU must be Chinese this
season or you must be Russian. The ,
oveIy Chinese gowns of chiffon vel I
yet elaborately embroidered in Ori-
.ntal designs and colorings. with their '
vide loose sleeves and sashes fringed
With silken or metallic fringes are in
Iced Celestial, and the loose Russian
unfc gowns also elaborately and col
'rfully embroidered and fur banded
ire sure to do a rushing business
Goth of these models, of course show
he long, loose straight lines as do
Imost all the other gowns. They /
'oast sashes or girdles of some sort, it II
5 true. but there is no drawing in of
hem if you would look like the sea-
on's model.
BY the way, since designers insist
n christening their latest creations
ONE little pet name like Zia, La Chi
oises Manuela, Moonlight Madness or
osetta why wouldn't an appropriate i
tie for those narrow straight-from-
le-shoulder modes be La Hooveret-
/. There certainly isn't particle Of
aist about them.
