coats at this show were particularly
noticeable, and it looks as though
they would enjoy healthy season.
Brocades Are Sumptuous.
Brocades are as sumptuOus as can
be. Then, there are all the new weaves
Of satin and silk and crepe, each w.
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 a
thick, soft, velvet pattern against the
frailness and thinness of 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 skirt that
does everything In the way of carry
ing out the character of the thing It
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
all strung along the quaint, narrow
panels of the taffeta skirt. There Is
the long and fitted bodice and there
is the broad and fllmy 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
details. They are combined In such
symphony Of line to be worn wher-
ever the occasion demands that for
NAL gowns shall be worn. 1t Is an
excellent thing for dancing Dress as
there Is no question about the man
| agement Of the skirt. 1t takes care OF
itself as It flutters Its long and grace
full way about the floor.
Another evening dress Is quite the
opposite type though just as smart In
Its 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 girlist
face and the rounder figure.
