WHY NOT EVENING
GOWNS /?

Within the first six months after the
war dealers in women's dresses and
dressmakers generally were made
aware that women were buying fewer
evening dresses: and any one who
went 20 the theater or the opera TO
dinner or 70 any sort OF evening enter
tainmcnt. was also made aware that
there were more women about in the
evening In day dress at the most in
formal afternoon dress than had been
the case for good many years. Ap-
parently women. many Of them felt
that 70 wear evening frocks was one
Of the luxuries that they could do
without. Perhaps. too. they felt that

evening took precious time from Red

But for the last month there has
been a change OF feeling. II would be

this revival in evening dress had gone

But the French woman has
feeling for clothes even in darkest
trouble and upheaval. She knew that
to wear a uniform and wear II right a
woman requires far greater endow-
ment of beauty and needs must take
far more time in dressing than the
woman who dresses in clothes OF a
more truly feminine sort. And she also
knew that while a man may like to see

SO the military touch in feminine
costumes and accessories has come in
but IL has come in in a way that we
might not have predicted before the
war. The trench coat for women is
really vastly different from the mans
trench coat. II Is of the same material
