TN THE gay world of evening gowns
4 it is hard to choose only two-for
illustrations There are so many diff
ferent kids of them with charms so
varied and captivating, that the dis
tracted fashion reporter would gladly
display them all. They differ in char
acter more than other gowns, because
there is little restraint put upon the
fancy of their creators-they furnish
a playground for it. The two chosen
for illustration here include a net
gown at the left-a modest, unpreten-
tious but elegant affair-and bril-
liant and glittering creation made for
high occasions beside it.
The quieter of these two models is
equal to many demands and, with a
little helping out of the bodice, may
take on the responsibility of serving
for afternoon wear. 1t is made of
brown dotted net, in a warm shade,
over brown satin, and could hardly be
more simply designed. A plain bodice

Imitation Furs.

There is a new knitted fabric that
assemblies real baby lamb fur which
is being used as narrow bands and
belts to trim dressy costumes of satin
and taffeta. There is also long
haired wool fabric which initiates a
long, shaggy, woody fur. This mate
rial is used TO make scarfs and caps.
