Black Velvet With Net or Tulle
BY MARY MARSHALL.

take time to lock at the remnants of
fine velvet which are to be found in
almost all the shops at the present time
A yard and an eighth or a trifle more
will be all the velvet you need and short
lengths of this sort are often to be
found at scarcely more than half the
original price of the velvet
And then-also to keep down expenses
let me suggest that you use point
desprit or fine cotton net for the skirt
portion. The new frocks made with
tulle flounces usually make use of three
tnicknesses of the tulle for each flounce
and tulle, you know, is rather fragile.
The other materials having more body
may be used single ply and they are
much less likely to become torn. Tulle
as well as silk or cotton net is used now
adays without any finishing at the
edgeS-though sometimes the heavier
nets are picoted around the edge.
1t is a fairly safe bet that uneven
hemlineS are to continue in fashion and
evening gowns will probably sag at the
back as much next Winter as they do
at present. Still no one ever knows
precisely what fashion may have in
store for us, and the advantage of a
frock like the one sketched is that in
case the sagging skirt line does go out
OF favor the bodice may be used with
different sort of flounce for another
Se?Son.
With the sagging skirt for evening
one wears wrap that ends somewhere
about the knees and is drawn closely
about the figure to give the new peacock
silhouette.
This weeks diagram pattern shows
just how to make one. of these new
evening wraps from square of material
without any cutting. A snapper or
two and some tie strings give the little
wrap its form and hold it secure. If
you would like a copy of this diagram
pattern which may also be used to make
a charming Longing robe or beach
wrap. please send me STAMPED, self
addressed envelope and I will send it
to you at once, without charge.

Within the Enclosure 1t was a differ
ent matter. A script clerk discovered
that the new stage, which accomnlo-
dated five talkie units, was on fire. She
spread the alarm. The studio freight
ing force was soon augmented by the
Hollywood fire fighters.
Mr.. Lasky hurried to see his most
marvellous talkie stages go the way of
all felt and shingles. Directors and
actor folk who were on the lot hurried
to the producer to assure him they
would work night and day to make up
for the loss in time and production.
The cause of the fire will 60 down as
one of the great mysteries in Movie

Desmond Taylor?" A red-hot picture
for Clara Bow was to start on that very
stage the next day. Perhaps the script
was left lying around and it was case
Of spontaneous combustion
Some of the units will be moved at
once to the Long Island studios, says
Mr.. Lasky. Do what you will, produc-
ton is apt to be halted by the annihil-
alton of five sound stages.
Village gossips say rival talkie pro-
ducers were doing soft-shoe dances be-
fore the flames. This studio has been
the most earnest talkie protagonist of
all the Hollywood lots.
