ture of the dress, gave slightly high
waisted look, and it was tied at the
right side in two long ends.
White net is fashionable material
for, party frocks for the sub b-dcb. And
the more ruffed. they are the better
they are liked A little dress that
looked just ready for the dance showed
the skirt a mass of white net rufflcs;
the short sleeves were ruffed, too.
About the waist was very narrow
taffcta belt in apple blossom pink, and
from this on either side of the front
were loops Of the narrow taffeta rib
bon, each loop caught under each
flouncc, straight 10 the bottom Of the
skirt.
Party dresses with O lot of style and
snap are made of changeable taffeta.
Watermelon-pink and light brown
make a good color combination, and
also peach and a lovely soft o.d blue.
One of these taffeta frocks that quite
took my eye showed the skirt mass
of soft loops of the taffeta, while right
in the direct front, little below the
waist line, was taffeta bow made
with long ends. This little gown had
very bouffant effect. The bodice was
so plain and straight it wasn't worth
speaking about. The sleeves were
very short and finished merely with
scallops of the silk, while the same
scalloped effect showed at he bottom
Of the skirt. And 1 mustn't forget a
very plain taffeta dress which had just
one touch that literally made it. The
original mode, was apricot taffeta made
with a circular skirt and straight,
decollete, sleeveless basque. Tuile IN
the loveliest shade of baby blue did
the trick. 1t was draped across. the
neck in front, fluffcd over the shoulders
and tied in big bow at the back, SO
that the ends reached just below the
waist line. Don't let me mislead you
when I use the word draped, for really
the tulle had the effect Of hardly being
caught at all. 1t gave an airy fulfil
ness, becoming and altogether charm
ing, to the otherwise prim little basque.
The fortunate girl for whom this dress
was designed planned to wear in her
hair a bandeau of the same light blue
tulle tide in the back in quite a large
airy bow.
Do YOU look demurc? Do you wear
your hair parted in the. middle and
coiled low on your neck? If you are
this type, try kerchief OF tulle as
neck finish l. one Of your party
gowns. Use narrow frill of creamy
lace as an edge, have the ends quite
long, at least six inches below the
waist, and fasten them there with
rosctte of the tullc 1t would be quaint
to have n cameo pin the center or the
rosette. Another pretty finish, but this
time for a satin on taffcta girdle, is
chiffon bow wired and edged with fur.
Either Kolinsky or squirrel look smart
used tAis way The chiffon and fur
bow should be made without ends.
Speaking Of bows, don't think I'm
forgetting the only really interesting
ones-those Of the masculine gender
But this is a fashion talk. you know
and to do it we'll 1 mustn't wander
from the subject. So back to the bow
that YOU wear. This time it's an out
and-out novelty-the arm bow. You
wear it on the left arm just a little
below the shoulder. Tie the tulle
about the arm, making the bow with
rather short loops but very long ends.
This new bow is really lovely addi-
ton to a sleeveless gown. 1t looks
prcttiest in a contrasting color to the
frock
All the girls are wearing bracelets
ones come in brilliant
rcd, iade-green, emcra!dsree and
turquoise blue. The girls buy them
whenever they can, to match the color
Of their dresses.
Not tasscls on your boots, but feath-
crs on your evening slippers. That's
quito the latest thing in party fash
ions. Tiny ostrich feathers extend
straight out on each side of small
velvet, rhinestone, or satin buckle. Inc
plain silk stocking is really the smart
est for the sub-deb; only, it must be
sheer.
Do You know about the matinee
fans? l think they're just the thing Tor
Il party, too. They are not more than
quarter of the size Of mothers fan. but
they surely arc fascinating. They come
in ostrich in all the popular colors, and
have dark shell handles. One reason
WHY I like these cute little fans for
party use is that you are not so apt to
lose them, as they can be easily slipped
into your evening bag.
Any girl would be apt 10 mistake the
newest party bags for cor5aGc bou-
uuet. You really have to look sharp 10
tell the difference The prettiest bou-
uuet bag that have seen is made OF
bunch Of exquisite pink rosebuds-the
sort YOU buy at the artificial howef
counter. These buds are grouped III
houuuet form. Their stems cover the
upper part of the bag. which is stem
