Dinner-Jacket Fashion
Is Growing in Paris

When the dinner-jacket style for
women was started over year ago
It was the house of "Anna" that start
ed tit was met with more ridicule
than admiration. Nobody realized the
extent to which it would "catch on"
A great many Of these costumes now
are to be seen at the smart restau-
rants in the Bots de Boulogne. When
worn by really elegant women, says a
writer in "A. G. b." one Of the lead
ing magazines Of fashion. they lose
their slightly doubtful significance and
are quite as pretty as the prettiest
decollete. 1t is generally admitted
that they go very well with short hair.
One Of the most effective seen
lately was made Of sort Of green silk
rep with thread lame and was worn
with skirt Of plated gold in lace.
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1926-10-23
Washable Silks Favored;
Long Sleeves Prevail

The Junior miss wears practically
the same type of froeks as does her
youthful mother these days. In fact,
observes a fashion writer in the De-
troit Free Press, we find the same
garments. in Junior departments we
find in the misses and ladies' depart
ments. Waistlines are somewhat
wider and skirts bit fuller for the
growing girl whose body is more ac-
tive than an older PERSONS.
At present washable silks such as
crepe de chenes are favorites for the
Junior girl. Colors are plain and the
sports type Of dress including both
straight-lined and jumper models are
generally chosen. Long sleeves prevail
in almost every instance and collars
are of tailored twpe with the V-shaped
front opening. Belts, worn low over
the hips, are frequently stressed for
the youthful figure.
Z Pastel shades predominant In the
Junior departments with such colors
as pale pink, green, yellow and sunny
leading. Recently, bright red sports
dresses have been introduced into the
junior-wear departments, but the paler
shades in washable silks are prefer
able'for the young miss for day wear.
Mems shifting material in wide stripes
is being worn by the younger set at
resorts for morning wear to some ex-
tent.
For afternoon occasions, the junior
has the preference Of lowered chif-
fons, georgettes and lingerie frocks.
The lowered georgettes are invar-
iably somewhat tailored in Junior
sizes, having long sleeves, tailored
collars with scarf ends or occasional
ly the winged-back drape.
Evening finds the young miss
dressed in sheer organizes, ecru, laces,
pastel chiffons or crisp taffetas. The
bouffant frock or the frock with many
ruffles on the skirt is particularly in
teresting in youthful models. In fact,
the only time when the little miss can
afford to stay away from semi-tailored
effects is at evening time. She may
then wear the slim bodice with the
full circular skirt, the slender dress
with numerous ruffles on the skirt or
the picture frock.

Sweater Has Regained
Its Former Prestige

Sports clothes, to be correct, must
be simple. They also must be suitable.
and since clothes of this type form
the major portion Of the summer
wardrobe, it behooves one to choose
them with great care.
The phrase "sports clothes" is rath-
er comprehensive, including as it does
not only the costumes worn by sport
participants, but also by those who
merely look on and admire the skill
Of others.
This season the sweater has re-
gained its former prestige. It is, how
ever, glorif1ed version Of it's former
@Relf. Made of the finest yarns in self
4ors or gayly striped designs, it is
~|Orn with plated skirts Of silk OF
wool crepe.

now has her back to the edge Of the
roof. -
"T shouldn't think she would dare
sit with her back to the edge like
that.
"'She can't even see how close she
is.
"My, what sense Of balance
"That was the way she talked. I
heard her even when my back was
turned to the street, and in fact
heard her even better there.
"But it seemed to make her nervous
that had my back to the street, and
so turned around again.
'Then began cleaning myself bit,
Strengthening out my feathers, and you
took off some dust that was on you
and she kept saying she did not see
how we dared do it, still sitting so
close to the edge.
"Of course she knew we could fly
and that we could spread our wings
at a seconds notice.
"But she couldn't get over her feel
ing that it would take us time to get
started flying and that we might fall
FIRST.
"Now that is simply her point Of
view, or her way Of looking at things.
81 couldn't do things her way.
'How she has the nerve and the
bravery to go walking around with
great, heavy shoes on her feet and
clothes and heavy wraps and things
Is more than I can see.
"And how she can 60 along the
street, right into stores and buildings,
is more than I can understand"
"Mere than I can understand" said
the other pigeon.
Then enc pigeon took little flying
trip to the next roof and the other
pigeon went after, until they were to-
gether again.
They took a walk around that roof,
side by side, their heads moving as
they walked
And they sat on the edge Of that
roof until, a good deal later, they few
down to the street for few hurried
minutes to see II they could find any
thing to eat.
But they could walk along the edge
of any place and they did not feel
nervous.
It was wonderful the way they
could do.
