Gown Hidden Under Folds of Scarf
BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE.

When Lloyd George was In America
his charming daughter Megan had the
distinction Of setting a fashion, or.
rather, stamping a fashion already
"set' with her approval. When her
father made his speech in New York
she was observed in a stage box so
closely enveloped In Il Spanish shawl
that no curious eye could discover
what sort of frock she wore. The i'm
portant thing was that she wore the
shawl and that it was vastly becoming.
At the opera and important first
nights you may have seen young
women doing much the same thing.
One young girl recently was observed
surrounded by cloud of rose tulle.
1t was no ordinary scarf, because it
left one in doubt as to what was worn
beneath it-save that the frock was
also rose colored.
This does seem like hiding ones
candle under a bushel-to wear
charming evening gown and then hide
IT for an entire evening under the folds
of cape or scarf. 1t is much the
same idea as wearig an evening Jacket
over ones evening gown--a fad that
don, where short ermne-also white
lapin-evening Jackets are quite in de-
mand.
The extreme simplicity of the bodices
of almost all evening frocks may have
something to do with this. 1t is only
because we have become used to them
that We do not consider them very
trying.
