Rr RETTY RROMN.l

NEW YORK, Oct. 18-With the
pre-Thanksgiving social season In
full swing the question of formal
evening gown and dance frocks be-
comes an important one.
Never have women had a wider
choice in style and line than in the
instance of this years party" dress
es. While street and day clothes
show much divergence Of style the
evening gown runs the whole gamut
from skirts SO tight they must be slit
for dancing to hoops and crinolines.
If the number of formal costumes
is limited one of the "in between"
kind is worth thinking about. Such
a one / have had sketched for today
because of its beauty, economy and
usefulness,
While this dress carries out the
idea of wide hips it is not bouffant
to the extent of being trying even
for less slender figures.
Made with foundation Of black
satin, the skirt has a plain full over
skirt Of chantilly lace accentuated at
the hip line by means of cascaded
side panels. The bodice is nothing
more elaborate than tight-fitting fold
Of. the sctin held in place by narrow
shoulder straps of the same.
This little touch that makes this
dress individual is the bunch Of os-
trich tips caught at the right side.
The original model was trimmed with
tips of brilliant Chinese blue, while
a feather fan Of the same color was
an integral part Of the dress.
