gown to the hip line and then to allow
the rest of the gown to remain plain
and unadorned, with only string

waistline might be located.
The cape or some variation Of the
cape, Is still popular among the Pa
risians. The cuts of these capes are
as diversified as the trimmings of the
cbemise frocks. but always they re-
tain the same lines-straight, except
fer a place at the front where they
are Rugged about the figure. A few
OF the newer capes have sort of bl0usy
tops with skirt section Joined to them
~dewn about the legs or quite under the
hips. These. with their collars Of fur,
or with furry edgings. are the most
graceful OF outer coverings.
Evening Frocks Are Draped.
Evening frocks continue 10 De
draped and draped and then draped
again. A Partisan designer recognizes
no law I'm these her nOblest works of
art. but she regards the figure and
what Is best suited to II. Some Of the
results are more perfect than others;
few have positive marks of genius.
The silhouette is straight--yes-bu
every now and then one sees bow or
puff or a frill or founce 1utting
out at the side or at the back or at
some other unexpected angle.
Many brocades are seen among the
newest evening gowns, and these are
draped always at q new angle and In
new way. Generally speaking, II is
said that the skirts of evening gowns

are long at one side and shorter than
ever ut the other. while others are 20

vie with each other I'm unevenness Of
length. For the brOcades there is no
trimming. They are enough In them
selves. and as the materials increase
IN beauty and richness. so do the de-
signs. until the whole effect Is some
thing to wonder at. A draped evening
gown is made OF the heaviest Of black
satin and is held about the figure In
sweeping curves. Then there are two
long and flowing trains reaching fur
below the hem OF the gown itself.
Lace Is Decidedly Popular.
Lace for evening gowns is quite the
thing. A lace evening gown Is made
with tiers of fiounces for the skirt,
and with low backed lacey bodice
having only suggestions Of short and
lacey sleeves. The lace Is black and
Is made over heavy black satin; then
under the fine meshes somewhere
about the bodice fOld,d draped
length OF cloth of gold Is arranged with
subtle dizziness. There is lace train,
too, which is attached at the rather
high waistline and allowed to swing
free of the rest Of the frock until II
sweeps for a matter of foot or so
upon the floor.
