The woman who is as careful
about her dress for the evening at
home as she is about her dining
cut" costumes is rare indeed, but
what a joy to find even one such.
Here is a splendid frock especially
planned for that woman. 1t is sim
pie but elegant and though straight
in line and in two pieces it is COM
fortably loose without being sloppy.
The design is one which is almost
universally becoming and there is
no reason why every woman could
not have at least one such gown to
wear when she dimes at home with
her family.
Two shades of soft chiffon velvet
are used to fashion this frock- The
skirt is of navy blue while the
loose smock-like blouse is of French
blue. The round neck and tunic
edge are embroidered with jet beads
A most artistic and unusual effect
is given by the use of strings OF
jet beads to form the sleeve ana
cuff of the blouse. These extend
from the elbow to the wrist and
reveal the arm with every move
ment. A narrow belt which has
bead tassels ties loosely in the front,
suggesting a rather long waistline

not need to be blown up to the same
