SHOULDER PUFFS
 NOW MAKING HIT
Style, Started In England, Be
 coming The Vogue

London, July I3 GP) - One of the ladies ot the Royal family has started a new fashion for womens evening wear.
 She appeared in the Royal box at Covent Garden with a large rosette Of rose-tiuted tuIle on her left shoulder instead of the ordinary 1 posy of flowers.
 Worn on the shoulder strap of hcr gown, the effect was striking and already many society women have ordered similar shoulder puffs for their evening gowns.
 Recent revival of the Paisley or ! Spanish shawl for afternoon and evening wear has induced arbiters of women's fashion to look around l for something fresh for the society dame.
 They have gone back as far as l Queen Anne's time for their ideas and devised a shawl very similar 10 those worn in Queen Anue's days Ii is a small affair triangular in shape made of bright colOred crepe de chine with fringes at the side.
 Another old world fashion has been revived to enliven the monot- ony of modern high and low waist l lines.
 This is the adoption of sashes for evening wear hung from the shoul- der to waist and finished with big loose bow.
 Plaid sashes are very much in vogue, and mostly hang from the left shoulder 10 the right side of the waist line. Plaids also are being used in material for evening gowns but usually the plaid sash is worn over q simple frock of white or light l colored material.
