THERE is almost as much variety
l. in party frocks as in the people
who wear them-which makes an as
semblage of dancers immensely inter
esting. 1t Is here that well-dressed
women match up their taste in party
frOcks, and have most opportunity to
indulge in individual fancies; they
have given themselves the benefit of
much latitude in style. On any dane
ing floor there are draped gowns so
long that they only reveal the toes, and
other frocks SO short that they barely
conceal the knees.
Materials influence the designers in
their choice Of styles. The heavy bro
cades and rich materials in heavier
silk weaves, are chosen for the draped
gowns that follow the lines of the
figure, and many net and lace frocks
are made in this style. Lighter-weight
and supple silks are chosen for
straight-line dresses. as crepe de chine,

is the story of evening wraps in gen.

interesting as revealing the ample,

outer garments for evening, and the
fact that fur and brocades are more
or less lavishly used in many of them.
Capes and mantles divide honors as
favorites In this kind of wrap. Capes,

The Monuments Of Genoa.
In Genoa We have some fine new
buildings. There is the bourse, and
the post ofice-fun Of accommodation
and convenience. There are splendid
places like the Piazza de Ferrari, and
yet everywhere there is Italian feel
ing for making the best of beauty's
possibilities. Where in the world was

In Genoa there are innumerable Old
and splendid palaces. Often they
have courtyards in which orange trees
flourish. There are fascinating old
churches, with strange legends at

Everywhere there is something writ

untiatteringly by their enemies, the
opinions thus expressed remaining.
The galleries" or covered shopping
arcades, a strong feature of most
Italian cities, are especially good in
Genoa. II is a rare place, of most
absorbing interest. Seven and eight
centuries ago it was a powerful mari
time state. And now, when the world
is nee more beginning afresh, and
when, as il appears, u of the fea-
lures Of the new economics is to be
keen competition among the European
ports, Genoa braces herself for hat
success to which she was advancing
before the war.

or suggest the hustle dress. Taffetas
over lace petticoats are particularly
pretty, caught up at the sides, or in
the back, revealing the dainty petit
coat below their hens. Georgette and
lace dresses are wired to give the
b~roadened hip line and on these, silk
or artificial flowers are placed so as
to emphasize the style.
One of the last arrivals among party
frocks takes advantage of the wired
hip line and velvet ribbon to achieve
a novelty. This pretty and fanciful
frOck is shown above, with bodice and
skirt of plain satin and short sleeves
Of net. The skirt is wired rather close
to the waistline. Long ends of velvet
ribbon. fastened at the top Of the low
bodice, are loOped about the hips and
fall nearly to the hem. Each is fin
ished with a point and weighted with
a ~silk-covered ball. The frock has a
folded belt of metallic silk. 1t is very

is made in black and lined with a col,

wrap of taffeta is cut in long panels,
pointed at the bottom. These panels
reach from the neck down, the entire
length of the wrap and have corded,
overlapping edges. The collar is a
huge puff of taffeta and the lines of
the wrap are much like those of the
