No matter what gay colors may ex-
press the jubilant mood of women who
are once more indulging themselves in
dinner and evening gowns, black satin
remains the most certain of admira-
ton. Its distinction and its becoming
ness are so well recognized that the
gown of black satin is a matter of
course in the smart woman'S ward
robe; she would not consider herself
outfitted without one or two of them.
1t is the most versatile of fabrics.
Given rich black satin and fine chan
lilly lace, the best of designers will be-
gin at once to dream dreams which no
color could inspire.
Lucille has just recently turned out
the enchanting dinner dress which is
pictured here. 1t is an after-the-war
inspiration, with hint of the "subma-
rine" silhouette-for which we shall
have to find another name since no
one wishes to think of submarines
now. 1t widens at the hips and mar
rows at the ankles in the graceful way
dear to the heart of Lucille when she
puts her mind upon picturesque gowns.

There is plain underbOdice OF
American Beauty satin, a mere wide
band, which appears to be wrapped
about the bust. Nothing could cling
closer to the shoulders and arms than
the lace of the bodice, with long
sleeves which end in deep flaring cuffs
of satin. These mits and cuffs on lace
sleeves are a feature of the new
styles and jeweled hands play hide
and seek in them in a very fascinating
way. The bodice has round neck fin
ished in the simplest way with a bind
ing of satin.
The long pointed tunic and the very
wide girdle of satin are marvels of
beautiful adjustment to the figure. The
genius of the designer is written in
them and in the facing of the tunic
with American Beauty satin, the
tracery of heavy silk floss, cleverly
outlining the pattern in the lace, which
make of this a joyous and beautiful
Victory gown.
