NICE A BACKGROUND
FOR BEAUTIFUL CLOTHES

anu NICE nave De6n very gay. Inc
most extreme Goya styles appeared in
evening dresses. The hips were wide
ly extended, forming a veritable shelf
on either side of the figure, which
swung and tilted as the wearer walked
or danced. The most pronounced of
these models were those created by
Lanvin, who seems determined to adj
here to this Spanish style These
costumes are largely a question of
skirt, the bodice being of secondary
importance.
A Daring Evening Costume at Nice.
One of the most daring evening cos
tunes worn at Nice illustrates how
strongly the Spanish influence is ap-
parent in dress. This dress is develop
ed in black satin, with hollow Jet balls
outlining the looplike extensions. The
cretelle like bodice of white tulle has
a delicate lattice of jet spotted with
large jet disks. The Spanish atmos-
phere of this striking toilet is further
accentuated by high comb Of carved
shell of the purest blond quality. This
comb differs, however, from the Ordi.
nary shell comb in that only the frame
is Of the pale yellow tortoise shell, In
side of which is stretched an eXqui-
site panel of real Chantilly lace, thus
making the comb almost transparent.
An interesting model is striking IL
lustration of how beautifully the new
soft taffetas may be used to make
straight-line dresses. In this instance
dark blue taffeta is chosen. The
sleeves are in bishop or peasant style,
a striking contrast to the very short
cap sleeves. The round high collar in
chaker form is in direct opposition
to the low neck. collarless frock.
A Marked Flare in Slavic Style.
Although the dress is in chemise
form it is gored at the sides to give a
marked flare, after the Russian or
Slavic style. The girdle, which is a
narrow one, passes under instead OF
over the embroidered panels. Thus,
though the figure is slightly girdled
the overhanging strap or panel gives
straight line figure. The panels and
collar are ornamented with elaborate
Czecho-Slavic embrOideries.
Both Lanvin and Jenny are strongly
advocating the full length sleeve and
the high collar in their simple SILK
dresses designed for afternoon wear.
Jenny cffarmingly combines printed
chiffon with foulard in a simple chem
Use frock. The upper part of the dress
and narrow foundation skirt are both
of the printed chiffon, the pattern OF
which is a graduate spot design IN
black on a white background.
The lower part of the skirt tunlc,
the high turn over collar and the I'M
der sleeves, which peep from beneath
the very short black and white chiffon
sleeves. are of cerise foulard with the
spot motifs in black. The chiffon
blouse portion is joined to the foul
ard tunic in a Van Dyke outline by
means of open work. A little cravat
belt starts from either side of the
center back and ties at low waist
line at each side of the front.
New Hats Plentiful
New hats were as numerous as
spring blossoms, the cellophane OF
vanished braids scoring big success
Very little is being used except these
glossy hats solidly embroidered or ap
piqued in bright contrasting colors
The narrow brim sailor, the drapeC
beret and the small round shape which
has a rolling brim and decidedly
conical crown were the shapes mos1
favored.
Charming round turbans in beret
STYLE. made of black cellOphane, were
seen with elaborate embroidered de
signs done in dyed raffia and tan color
cotton threads in chainstitch.
One Amazon walking hat worn was
developed in alternating bands OF
black cellophane and bright green sat
in pipings.C Two simple loops of cello
phane braid piped and lined with
green satin made up the only trim
ming.
new veil trimmed turban is de
yeloped in crinkled cellophane braid
which looks just like the bugles. All
around the turban is wired lace
veil. which turns back across the
front and is held in place by two long
jet pins.
JeweIry Becomes Sensational.
The present mode of wearing all
sorts OF SIrlkluS JeMOiIJ hS'o P'''S
the stage where it may merely be re-
ferred to as extravagant; now 1t has
become positively sensational. Guam
titles of remarkable jewelry were seen
everywhere during the season in the
south of France.
The level which created the most
comment was a throat latch and pen
dant, with matching earrings. These
were very large and were made OIL
platinum and diamonds. The earrings
and the pendant were the same size
and of the same design, the delicate
chain which held the three together
being of platinum and brilliant TO
match the three pendants. .
A famous Partisan beauty wore TINS
extraordinary ornament with the
simplest possible couture, the hair De,
ing brushed straight back and twisted
into a low knot at the nape OF the
neck. Her dress was an extreme de-
collete in black and she kept saole
coat on most of the time, as her Dack
was absolutely nude to the walstllhe'
No other jewels were worn, not even
n finger ring, but the marvellous Drli-
liancy of her throat latch and earrings
