pondent in the New York Tribune, she
again demonstrates her genius in OBJ
tanning maximum effect from mini
mum decoration.
Complicated cut with an ultimate
line of great simplicity is still MAIN
tanned. The flying panel. which she
uses so much now, ornaments the mid
die of the back or the front of the
dress and no longer appears on the
sides. Sometimes 1t appears on both
the front and back as In dinner dress.
II Is developed from white crepe de
chine. A eabochon made of brilliants
and pearls ornaments both the front
and back of the dress at the waistline.
Generally speaking, sleeves are mar
row, some of them being quite tight
fitting; others are close at the Shout
ders and widen a little on the way
down to the wrist. Some are cut very
wide at the armhole and are so shaped
as to snugly encircle the wrist.
A simple cloth dress from Yionnet
has large, loose kimono sleeves cut in
with the bodice. From the armholes
e. the walstline the sleeves are shaped
TO close-fitting line at the wrist. The
skirt Is cut In the form of two large
petals. one overlapping the other. A
heavy embroidery in floral pattern Is
incrusted on the inside of the sleeves
and big flower of the cloth with It's
petals covered with embroidery in

rather daring touch of color

Vionnet has many little cape effects
and curious cape collars which are a
part of the sleeve or the back of the
dress. A typical model of this sort
has an Interestingly cut jacket in short
beited style and has waistline shout
der cape which Is II pert of the tight
fitting, full-length sleeve. 1t Is accom-
panied by perfectly plain skirt. A
novel feature Is white ermine collar
ia jabot form, which Is In striking con.

A distinctly new feature is the jabot
collar and frlll, usually developed in
fur. One finds this ON tailor-made
dresses, on fur coats and on afternoon
dresses of crepe de chine and satin.
Sometimes the jabot frill Is so deep
