they would enjoy healthy season.
6rocades Are Sumptuous.
Brocades are as sumptuous as can
be. Then, there are all the new weaves
Of satin and silk and crepe, each Wy
ing with the, other in an attempt to be
the most glorious of all evening dress
fabrics. The velvet brocades are par
ticularly fascinating. The color of
thick, soft, velvet pattern against the
frailness and thinness of a chiffon
background creates an interesting
quality for that material which any
other finds difficult to equal.
One of the longer, fuller evening
dresses Is of taffeta with a skirt that
does everything in the way Of carry
ing out the character of the thing 1t
sets out to do. 1t has, too, many Of
the newer points which are going to
make the evening frocks of this sea-
son. There are the little ribbon roses
oil strung along the quaint, narrow
panels of the taffeta skirt. There Is
the long and fitted bodice and there
is the broad and flmy fichu which
stretches across the shoulders in the
most effective way. There is, also,
that little ring Of ribbon roses just at
the front of the waistline where the
bodice and skirt are joined together,
and two little punches of the same
flowers to hold the fichu in place on
the tips of the shoulders.>
The fact is that all of the points
of this gown are perfectly in har-
mony with the seasons demands and

a manner that the dress becomes one

ever the occasion demands that for
NAL gowns shall be worn. It Is an

full way about the floor.
Another evening dress is quite the
opposite type though just as smart In
it's own way. They are really meant
for two different types of women, one
for the graceful and dropping type
and the other for the more girlisb

Lengthens the Lines.
The dress Is particularly good for
the large woman who may need some
thing to lengthen out her lines. 1t

metal cloth, silver in this instance,
then there has been draped over that
foundation fullness of chiffon which
has the effect that the more buxom
woman is eternally looking for. 1t is
very well to talk about those with lit
tie girlish figures who wear the puffy
clothes and about the character and
charm Of them, but there are many of
us who cannot attempt to go in for
anything so extreme. But this frock
of which we are speaking has all of
the lines which are most softening
and which help to swing the figure
into the contour of the modern mode.
The girdle is low and wide and there
are drapings of the chiffon falling
from the sides. But the bodice is
plain and held loosely over a more
tightly fitting underbodice BY this
means, then, the lines are subdued
and the dress is given that n.uch-to-
be-desired slender appearance. Then
there is rose at the belt. which with
its silver sheen is in direct contrast
to the mauve of the chiffon with
which the silver underdress is draped.
