soft serges. velour de laine. chiffon
and plush are used with great effec-
tiveness in gowns and costumes.
Coats with afternoon costumes come
just below the hips and follow Dick
Turpin lines. by means of a girdle or
gauging. Skirts are narrower at the
feet, giving peg-top suggestion. Fur
collars reach to the eyes.
Kick on Bare Back Effects.
American buyers say they are hav-
ing almost a battle with Partisan
dreSsmakers over the backless eve-
ming gowns offered, which the Amer
leans are insisting on having filled
in with lace, to the amazement OF
the French designers. who protest that
women should be allowed to display
their well-formed backs.
Black and gold, raven blue, mole
and cinnamon are the prevailing tones
for evening gowns.
Hats for fall and winter are both
large and small, but in all cases will
frame the face. Velvet is the most
popular fabric for hats and trimmings
will be of ostrich feathers, ospreys
and monkey fur.
