| Il cerned. If you want hustle
! dress, it is here for you. 1t
you want an Egyptian robe, it is
here. You may have a pleated skirt
or one in envelope style. You may
have cascading scarf drapery or a
straight panel. All you have to do
is to name the one you prefer. Each
style of dress seemingly has it's
devotees. Sometimes a single ward
robe gives representation to every
one.
The early closing hour in Paris,
which affected all restaurants and
places of amusement, brought with
it simpler style of dress than was
seen earlier in the season. With
everybody starting out to dine at
$50 instead of $3.50 o'clock, natural
ly the dress that one would feel in
clined to put on at $3.50 is much SIM
pier than the regulation evening
frock.
Dancing dresses, which are entire
ly sleeveless and fairly high at the
/ neck, are having quite a vogue.
These dresses, which have the SIM
plest possible look, are developed in
two shades of organdie with taffeta
ribbon sash. The skirt is often in
envelope style. That is, full length
tunic, which is shorter at the side,
and passes around the figure in an
oblique line. Tiny bits of fullness
are laid in the bodice and skirt
. through corded tucks on the hips
and across the front of the bodice.
A charming model in white or
candle is trimmed on the tunic and
at the shoulders with fat bows of
yellow organdie. The foundation
slip is Of the yellow organdie. This
dress is striking example of the
tendency toward simpler clothes.
The Pendulum Swings
Back to Simplicity
IT is interesting to observe the
simplicity that is replacing the ex-
treme extravaganza that directly fol-
lowed the war--an extravaganza in
the wake of which came a mass of
i'll assorted fashions. We have had
during the last two years many
styles positively grotesque, such as
the long narrow skirts, so narrow
that their wearers looked like Grip
pies hobbling along.
Down through the centuries his
tory shows that every period of ex-
treme dressing has been followed by
one of simplicity. There is little
likelihood that dress will remain
simple for any great length Of time
While there is always the reaction
from an extreme, the love of orna-
mentation cannot be suppressed.
Dress began, not as covering for
the body, but as an ornament. The
primitive savage adorned his body
With the juices of berries long be-
fore he thought of a covering.
'ellow is appearing in a great
ma ~ Of the clothes for midsummer
weir. Two shades of yellow and
8oi letimes three or four are COM
b!s ID in the same costume. Yellow
Is istinctly summer color, and has
alv avs been a favorite in hot cli-
Ma es.
4. combination of several shades
If yellow appears in chiffon eve
min : frocks. It makes one cool to
eve think of such a dress. One
just completed by fashionable
dre ssmaker has the skirt composed
Of petals, one shade placed over
ana ther. 1t ranges from palest
lemon to deep apricot, and is sashed
with wide apricot colored satin
rihbon. The bodice topping this
ffilly skirt is just simple band of
satin to match the sash with a wispy
bit of lemon colored chiffon draped
over it.
Fashion Takes a Leaf
From Natures Book
An EVENING hat to accompany
this dress is of the apricot COL
ored chiffon. Dripping from the
brirn are long stemmed pale yellow
blossoms and green leaves.
