Dress Is rs familiar with history as
Mr.. II. G. Wells. Now We find echoes
Of the second empire; the next frocl;
seen will suggest the 1880 mode by a
bustlclike bow in the back, a circular
aounce, or tight sleeved basque.
poiret makes his familiar moyen age
models. Lanvin brings us back to the
French court where Diane de Poitiers
reigned.
In capcs and gauntlets and collars
we are frequently reminded of the days
when Cavaliers fought with Puritans,
and in evening gowns the glory that
was Greece and the picturesquenes
that was Egypt are recalled by line and
draping and trimming effects.
For the debutante and the young
matron the second empire model Is still
chosen as the most becoming and ef.
