The waist has an open front finished with a long collar and inset vest. The vest extends below the belt of gray satin, which corresponds with the collar, and is embroidered in gray and dark blue silk At the top 1t is cut in square effect. Long one-p;ece sleeves flare at the wrists.
 Another dainty frock features a ser ies of winding fri1ls as a skirt trim ming, without violating the dictum for straight and slender effect. It is fashioned of satin, the blouse being inset with a/vest resembling a shirt bosom to offset the fussiness of the skirt. There is narrow belt of self material to hold in the fulness at the waist. Finishing the neck is the fash ionable high collar, trimming dis tinctively becoming to certain femin- inc types. Embroidery may be added to the vest if desired, but the frock is quite effective without it.
 A wide girdle placed below normal and a row of buttons on either side

some beautiful design, as shown here, although the motif lends itself to equally .ascinating development in em- broidery which features darning and
 solid satin stitches. There are thir- teen motifs, 61a by 10 inches, also six yards of 2ss inch border. Bugle beads
 may be used to best advantage in working the design, the color, of course, to be regulated by the tone of the fabric upon which the beads are used. While one is allowed wide lat itude in the finish of the lower edge of the eveling skirt, most of the exclu- sive models are tucked under in lieu of some other form of drapery that conforms to the slender silhouette.
