tern scattered over it to add to it's
gorgeousness. 1t is accredited by
Worth of Paris, who sponsors such
lines and effects. In its company there
are dancing frocks of satin or geor-
gette that have no backs in their
bodices. But often sash or scarf of
tulle manages to veil the unclothed
back. There is great vogue for
strands of pearls; they are worn with
all sorts of evening gowns.
Black has many deyotees for eve
ming gowns. Transparent black fab
ric, over black or over vivid colors,
bears the stamp of approval from the
sources of fashions. 1t goes without
saying that in such case black jet is
f1ourishing. In the picture one of these
brilliant black toilettes appears with
a bodice that is hardly more than a
wide girdle of satin, and strands of jet
over the shoulders. The bodice eX-
tends below the Waistline, the beauti-
full slender figure appearing to be cor

brOcade is set on 70 it. This employ
ment of strands of Jet over the Shout

1t was hoped and expected that with
the end of the war women would once
more array themselves In beautiful
evening clothes, as gorgeous as their
purses would allow. They most GER
tainly saw TO it that such expectations
were not disappointed. When vic
tory was in sight, but before the arml-
stice was signed, costumers predicted
an early end of the war, for already
women began ordering more elaborate
dress. With the signing of the arrni-
Stice came a reaction and rush for
evening dress. Considering every
thing, American women have not gone
TO extremes; they had dressed quietly
during the war and a certain reserve
kept them from forgetting that ex-
perience too quickly. At present they
are indulging in some fads, which may
be short lived or may not.
One of these fancies is for large os-
trich feather fans. These gorgeous af-
fairs are made in many colors, but in
black and white they go to extremes in
size which one fails to find in colorS
They are very beautiful and one can
not imagine u time when an ostrich
feather fan would seem entirely out of
place for evening dress.

Printed georgette and printed voiles
for blouses of simple design make
pretty and youthful styles that de-
mand very little in the way of decora-
ton. The patterns and colors in these
printed fabrics hold the interest SO
that no elaboration is needed on the
bIouses made from them, except in
finishing touches. They are in little
class by themselves and are recon-
mended to those who are clever at
making things for themselves. The
beauty of the fabrics is their chief
charm, and simplicity of design, which
IL in harmony with them, appeals to
the amateur blouse-maker. Besides,
the printed fabrics relieve the monot-
ony of too many blouses of plain ma
terials.
