The New FrOcks J
For Fall w ear

about pointed neck, with very short
sleeves. The design Of the embroid-
cry was rather open. made up of tri-
angles with Irregular sides. There
was an overskirt, accordion pleated,
while the short, tight underskirt wns
made Of the serge, showing a line OF
the copper embroidery. This was q
new combination of colors and design.
Another nice thing about this costume
was that 1t was accompanied by a
serge cape TO match. II was simply
cut and the embroidery running all
around the ample outlines Of the wrap
matched exactly the embroidery on
the gown. There was soft copper
colored fnille lining.
Embroidery on serge Is most effec-
tive when It is done In the Fighter
shades and tones. Serge tnkes wool
and silk and metal embroidery equal
" well, and II holds the stitches In
place. One serge dress made with q
high waist in front and a back extend
ing from shoulders to hem simply
belted at the waistllne has trimming
Of silk dots in bright cOlors scattered
about the space over the hips. This
trimming is repeated around the
rounded neck line and again In Sim
pie little designs at the edges Of the
elbow sleeves.
Another serge dress In one-piece
style is embroidered In white. Its
straight skirt Is relieved by plated
panels inserted at either side, and
these sections are held In at the hem
by little white embroidered bands.
This gives the skirt the pinched-at.
the-bottom look which so many design
ers are cllnglng to. And 1t is not a
bad style II the skirt is long enough.
One ventures guess that the really
good dressers will never wear their
skirts shorter than II inches above
the floor, though some of the models
now being displayed soar to IA inches
or even more. 1t is the same way In
Paris. Those Pnrisians who like to
dress In extreme fashions wear their
skirts short, shorter, shortest-but the
really smart people keep theirs at a
uniform length according to the pro-
portions of the figure. This matter Of
proportion has much TO do with the
length of skirts. A tall person can
carry a shorter skirt than her four
foot-four sister.
Afternoon Gowns Extremely Simple
The satin and satin crepe afternoon
gowns are extremely simple as a gen.
eral rule, but they are interesting and
really feminine. There Is something
about the softness of SATIN folds that
makes a woman look her best, espe-
cially when the material is handled
so that 1t has a chance to adapt itself
to the lines of her figure. A dress
in copper-colored satin is draped in
two ways on the skirt. One side
sweeps from the left waistline down
over the right leg and up to meet Its
starting point. The other side does
the same thing in the opposite direc.
ton. The simple bodice is trimmed
with a narrow banding Of gray fur
laid about a pointed neckline and the
flowing three-quarter length sleeves
are finished with eording Of the ma
terial Itself. ia-'t'&s~-''---

where rust-colored chiffon in generous
widths Is inserted. The chiffon is at
tached to the satin SO that when the
skirt is pulled out at the sides It givei
somewhat the effect of striped bal

Beaded evening gowns are quite thu
thing, and many are the varieties o.
