OUR EVENING GOWNS

 If the evening frocks this winter have been very light and filmy, those promised for next spring are even more diaphanouS. And the summer frocks are as filmy as could be imag- ined. They are mostly made of or gandy, chiffon or voile; they are short SIeeved or sleeveless and are general ly cut rather low. All the afternoon and evening gowns shown for south ern wear-which will, of course, set the fashion for next summer-either leave the arms and shoulders bare or cover them very slightly.
 So it is imperative that every, wo- man look to her arms and shoulders and make sure that they are as pretty as she can make them. I do not mean that the woman who is hope lessly thin need be out of fashion, for styles are always adaptable for every type. But some Of these transparent frocks are so pretty that know every young woman will want to be able to wear them.
 If you are too thin, you cannot have pretty arms and shoulders un- less you increase your weight. If you are too stout, you must, of
