A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose

0F ENORMOUS Importance nova
~ days is the evening wrap.
/ think | remarked once before that
years ago women used to look upon their
evening wrap as something that they
donned purely in transitional way.
1t was like the drop curtain at the
play. You would hardly judge the per
formance by the drop that was used to
hide the stage until the play was ready.
So you would hardly think of judging a
woman's evening apparel by the
envelope she wore as she slipped from
her carriage to the dressing room.
Not so with the evening wrap of to-
day. In the first place, we don't wear
them merely in transit. At the New
York horse show just before Thanks
giving there were women in the boxes
who wore their evening wraps through
the entire evening. merely letting them
part at the front to give an inkling of
the evening gowr beneath. Needless to
say these were gorgeous evening wraps.
But the evening wrap need not be of
fabulous cost. The thing is that it must
be built on the right lines, and those
lines this year are ample and generous
with a silhouette that suggests barrel
or a beetle-decidedly broader in the
middle than at either end.
The wrap ir the sketch is of flame
colored silk duvetyn, while the scant
flounce at the bottom is of black velvet,
which is used to form the three TERED
yoke and to outline the vertical arm
Sits.
An interesting detail of the wrap is
that the black velvet is not used for the
collar, which, on the contrary, is com
posed of gray fox.
