EVENING Gowns Passe.

Evening gowns are now almost q
lost art. Few women are buying them.
In their place we find afternoon frOcks

come the pretty soft chiffons in neu-
tral shades-beige, navy. black, mauVe
and gray. These clinging chiff0ns
round out afternoon and evening occa-
siOns. For the older woman they are
the type of frock par excellence.
