rather large armholes. A silver
g.rdle marks the low waistline and
silver grapes hang down the side.
4 broad silver ribbon girdle loops

silver sandals and silver laurel
leaves in the hair are worm.
This same model might also be
copied in flame red velvet with
girdle of the same material. Gold
or flame slippers might be worn,
with dull gold laurel leaves in the
hair.

If silver ribbon and grapes is most
attractive, and one might wear

A smart frock that breathes of the
Spanish influence is cut from
chiffon velvet in sapphire blue. black

bodice, pointed on the stomach, Is
made with short, puff-sleeves that
drop off the shoulders. This bodice
IS attached to a full skirt with dis
tended hip line, wired TO place.

much charm because of their con-
trasting colors.
