Lovelier Dresses Than Ever Before.
There is a large rolling collar Of che
red silk draped about a rather low-cut
neck on the chiffon blouse. 1t is
really wonderful the way these very
bright-almost gaudy-silks are being
combined with figured or plain silks
as well as chiffons and made into
dresses lovelier than any we have
ever had.
Even serge dresses have become
frivolous to be in keeping with the
gay dresses seen at the fashionable
thes dansants. While these dresses
have for 4 long time been somewhat
enlivened by embroideries and trim
mings of cOlOred leather, the introduce
tion Of lingerie effects into them is
something which we have not seen for
many a season.
The woman who liked above every
thing else in her dress effects that
were becoming and feminine regretted
the passing of the always fiatterlng
lingerie collar. Many said, when 1t
became the mode to wear dresses with
severe necklines, quite unadorned ex
cept for the occasional use of embroid-
cred bands or bit of dark fur that
women would not adopt fashion SO
lacking In ilattering aids to beauty.
But that most women are willing to
follow the prevailing fashions is at
tested by The fact that lingerie collars
were nowhere seen in assemblages of
women who made any pretenson to
being smartly dressed. Their absence
was comparatively brief one. how
ever, for now lingerie effects have re-
turned.
One of the smartest of the new
serge frocks, which has white organ
die as its trimming. was seen at an
afternoon dance. The color of the
cloth was very dark blue and dis
played to excellent advantage the
fluted orgnndie trimming which took
the form Of fiaring Medlci collar
that continued down the front of the
dress to the wastline In the form of
vest.
Box Coats, one-Piece Dresses.
Box coa,s are not confined to reg
ulatlon suits. At the Mason Worth,
as well as mt other great Paris houses,
the box coat has been incorporated
into the idea Of three.p piece suit
that is to say, the one-piece dress has
straight box coat to be worn over It.
Instead OF having contrasting vest
these are open in the front to reveal
the full length Of the frock. Ever so
many of these coats which match
frOcks have high, straight collars hut
toning closely about the neck. These
are unusual on loose coats that do
not close at the front.
Every woman who loves simplicity
and comfort In dress will he delight
ed to know that the hest houses are
still featuring the strnight-lIne frock.
A typical Parislan model is made Of
white tussah silk almost on the lines
Of coat dress with the one side
fastening. This closing shows bind.
ing Of black satin. which continues in
strnlght line TO form finish for the
high. close-fittlng collar. The skirt
portion is slit at the front to show
an underskirt Of black satin.
