The UTILITY GOWN
Black Velvet Draws Palm of Pop
ularity, Writer Saws,
Fabric Suitable for All Purposes From
Breakfast Robe to Ball and
Theater Attire.

In these days Of the high cost Of
everything few women can afford to
make a distinction between dinner
gowns and evening dress. They both
signify formal wear, but to persons Of
meticulous care In dress there Is diff
ference. With housekeeping such ire
mendOus problem and the domestic
question a shOal on which many
households founder, the custom OF
dining out is becoming more and
more prevalent. At the more ex-
elusive restaurants one Is not prop
erly dressed unless in evening
clothes, yet II the evenings entertain
ment includes the theater ones COS
tune needs to be more reserved than
II a dancing party or the opera is
contemplated.
OF all the materials we have seen
this season, observes a fashion writer,
the palm Of popularity goes to black
velvet-unquestiOnab the fabric suit
able for all purposes from breakfast

and theaters 1t predomlnates. A
clever woman whom we see at every
important function is not noted for
her wealth nor her lavish expenditures
on dress, but she Is always tastefully
II rather unObtrusively gowned.
At the opera one evening she APP
peared In a stunning gown Of black
silk velvet made severely plain
with a round Of decolletage and the
skirt ankle length with a long,
straight panel falling from one hip
/ 10 form a side train. We remarked
the costume for its extreme ele-
gance Of line and lack Of adornment.
A few nights later this woman came
/ into the dining room OF our most
/ fashionable and exclusive hotel again
/ gOwned in black velvet. We noticed
/ that the bodice was cut rather. low
/ and filed in with a shirred gilet OK
edged with tiny ruffies were Of net
and chiffon, and on one hip several
fiat loops Of the velvet simulated the
bouffant effect.
It was not until afterwari that we
realized that this costume was In fact
\ the opera gown worn with a guimpe
Of net, and with the train lOoped up.
Not one woman in a hundred, unless
she were In the habit Of scrutinizing
/ and analyzing feminine wearing ap-
parel, would have discovered the meta
morphosed frOcks. Very convincing
transformations may be accomplished

FIND MANY USES FOR SATIN
Fabric Affords Most Fetching Cos
TUNES That Make Strong Ap-
peal TO MiIady's Heart.

Satin is quite the most fetching thing
Imaginable. That collar is undeniably
striking; the sleeve treatment Is most
unusual. and there's delightful rip
pie to the skirt. The collar is moth
ing more than an inoffensive roll at
back, but It crosses and then length
ems considerably in front Why, It
extends all the way down to the hip
line. A rounded snip Of the scissors in
an otherwise prosaicly tight-htting
sleeve will achieve this sleeve novelty.
The charming ripple of the skirt is Sc
cured by being more generous with
the gathering at the sides than at
front or back and then curtailing the
length to either side slightly. In

tiny doll, half OF a colored birthday
candle and a quarter Of a yard Of

basket. Melt the candle In a small tin

When the wax is almost hard, press
the tiny doll into II, feet FIRST, and

WHAT ABOUT SKIRT LENeTHS7
Manufacturers Advise That They Are
Making Garment Slightly Wider
and Shorter.

In spite OF the fact that spring lines
are pretty well completed at the pres
ent date, says a writer In Women's
Wear, there Is much interest eyinced
in the matter OF skirts, for there are
stiIl certain authorities who claim I'M
swerving allegiance to the long, mar
row skirt. There are others who have
returned from abroad, who profess to
believe that there Is nothing for US to
do but sooner or later to adopt the
French extreme. Finally, there are
those who believe In a compromise
that French skirts will come down
and ours will go up and that we will
gayIy arbitrate the question. Perhaps
the greater number are Of this opin-
ion, but that there Is a degree Of I'M
certainty is shown In the fact that
anyone who is supposed to know any
thing about style or who Is au cOurant
Of what Is being done by the French
and American couture Is continually
accosted with the question, what
about the skirtsT
However, the average response to
this question given by the manufac
turer is: Il am making them slightly
wider and slightly shorter" Some are
making them decidedly wider as com
pared with the width Of the last few
seasons, but few are making them
short in any exaggeratiOn or extreme
because they are frankly afraid OF It
One dress house varies the length Of
the skirt according to the size Of the

inches. A SS frock has a ST-inch skirt
and so on down to the 16 and IA sizes
which have "a and 32-lHch skirt
