BRILLIANT EVENING FROCKS.

All is not gold that g1itters but when buying an evening dress the glittery type is equivalent to gold. This is a colorful and brilliant sea son, especially is this true in the realm of evening frocks. They rival the stars for brightness. Gold and silver metallic cloths and brocades, and irridescent materials have been used more lavishly this season than ever before With the use of such gay materials it necessarily follows that the designs and cut of these frocks be extremely simple. One Of the most striking gowns noted re- gently was of Pekin blue brocade shot with threads of gold and silver. The lines were of the straight slen- der princess type, fitting so smoothly that even a tiny wrinkle was elimin- ated. The square cut bodice, very low in the front was filled in with flesh chiffon. Cinnamon fox bordered the hem of the snug, long skirt. Its wearer carried a huge ostrich fan of brilliant peach and a string of pearls, opera length was her well chosen adornment.
 Another attractive frock was of the shade of velvet th&, is designated as sunset and looks like the heart of a Ward rose. A long skirt was mo- dishly draped giving a full appear ance at the hips and narrowing in an astonishing manner at the feet The bodice. was surpice and cut in a V to the waist line at the back. 4 black velvet flower of generous d. mensions was it's only ornament, With this gown was worn an even ing coat of black and gold, collared and cuffed with black lynx and lined with silk of the same shade as the gown. Black satin oxfords and hosiery with insets of black lace completed the attractive assemblage. Another very attractive gown worn bv a stunning woman who refused to dispenses the latest decrees ot fashion, had the effect of being drap- ed about the figure in such a way that it was somewhat of a puzzle as to how it was donned. A narrow fish tail train was lined with flame col ored chiffon and flowers of that shade were the only trimming of the effective gown.
 A fan of flame color and black was an attractive addition to the cos tune. The wrap worn with this did it's best to make up for the somber- ness of the gown. A cloth that shad- ed from pale flesh to deep coral was cut in dolman style and a collar that extended to the wearer's chin was of spotless errnine with the tails of that little animal used in profusion. Pale rose iridescent formed the long waist ed ton of another new evening gown Satin of the same shade, gracefully draped made the skirt. Tulle sleeves were fitted closely to the elbow, and were then cut in points which fell almost to the hem of the gown. corsage of ostrich feathers was an unusual and attractive feature.
 The charm of a pale yellow gown is never more accentuated than when worn by the woman who Is blessed with auburn hair. A slim young wo- man with very delicate coloring chose this shade for an evening frock, the chief charm of which was it's simplicity. over very scan' drop skirt of gold cloth, r1ppled ar overskirt. A tight fitting underbodice O. the gold cloth was yelled with the tulle which came to the base of the
 throat Tiny little French flower! fastened the shoulders and appeared at the most unexpected places on thu
 overdrapery.
