teal and has achieved great popularity.
At Cannes golf skirts formed wholly
of tiny pleats are most in favor but
all models have a slim silhouette. Skirts
in general will be a trifle longer. Only
in evening, dancing and tea dresses
will there be real variation in the
otherwise universal chemise silhouette.
This is achieved generally by outstand-

The same OBJECT is achieved in the sec

Is an Economy Dress.
The reason for the long reign Of the
chemise gown is largely economic be-
cause since the war women can afford
fewer gowns each season and therefore
demand models that can be worn as sec
ond best the second season. The ,chemise
gown is considered universally becom-
ing and is so easily remodeled that IL
can actually be worn out. Hence, as
there is no radical change in form and
also because of the growing demand
among women for simplicity in line and
comfort and clothing, attention has
been focused on the perfection and va
riety Of the details and decorative hand
work. Never before has every variety
of colorful embroidery had such vogue
as it now enjoys.
Every eressmaking firm has its spe-
cialties. Vogue's most elaborate ex-
preston is found in solidly embroid-
cred short sports jackets. These with
small hats to match are the outstanding
feature of the season. The most orig
inal of these jackets are of finely knitted
