r T isn't the fault Of the mode if we all fail
to look like fairy princesses this Winter,
for what fairy princess ever had gowns as
lovely as those that we see all about Us just now?
Lights CLEAN on frocks of glimmering silver
lame, wraps Of shimmering velvet warm with
masses Of lovely white fox, and dark glamorous
sable. Shoes Of gold and silver brocade, with
exquisite ornaments that catch points OF light,
glide over the ballroom floor. Black chiffon and
tulle with strass and rhinestones add their share
Of sparkle to the modes most glorious season.
What colors better express the true beauty
of our clothes than black and white? And in
combination, they are irresistible, and SO one
sees the smartest women in evening ensembles of
black and white. Just one OF the very smartest
outfits and one that expresses the la\st fashion
is the ensemble shown here. The iVwn Is Of

white and black tulle, the skirt crisply b~ouffant,
the bodice tightly moulded to the figure. The
alluring coat in of black velvet of fine weave,
wide sleeves also lined with the same lovely fur.
Such short velvet coats embeIlished with ermine
or white fox are ideal with skirts that billow OK
trail TO the floor.
There can be no doubt but what we are
In velvet this season. For hats, coats, suits and
dresses both for day and evening wear, il has TO
be velvet in various weaves IL one Is to look q
Ia mode. For evening wear, there can be no
more exquisite choice than n gown of white
velvet, regal in It's expressive simplicity. The
dress shown here expresses the high-lights Of the
scheme s~artorial with its loose cape back, and
moulded and terminates in N short train, that
lust trails the floor.
