beaded in crystal are lovely. Red
corsages are most in evidence.
White satin frocks with just sug-
gestiou of Il waiStline in the side
seams, attached godets of tulle at
the knees to give the fluffy hem
line. Other white frocks use os-
trich as banding about scalloped

very Smartlv clad women. Among
the other gay colorS are light green,
rose, orchid, orange and madonna
blue.
Evening slippers are turning to-

popular Gold kid is decidedly
p8s>e. Rose and silver brocade and
silverish blue broeades are also
much worn. Blond satin slippers
are not used much for formal eve
