THE LATEST AFTERNOON FROCKS
Georgette Cocktail" Dresses
the Newest Conceit in
Afternoon Gowns.


NASHION, ever on the alert
for something different"
has designed the Cocktail"
dress for afternoon wear. At
first the jacket was designed for
wear over the formal dinner
frock or evening gown, but the
vogue has now spread into the
realm Of the afternoon ward
robe.
Some adorable little things
have been given to Us with the
birth of this latest idea, and the
two frocks sketrhad here are in
dicativ. OF the hold which the
fad has on feminin. hearts.
The frock at the left Is devel-
oped in periwinkls blue flat
crepe. The blouse and collar are
CO flesh georgette, and the
nodded hip line and flare skirt
give q grace to the whole that Is
hard to resist Crystal bead m
broidery is used on the blouse
and the tie is caught with a crys-
tai ornament. The flesh colored
gardenias which grace the shoul-
der, give a chic touch.
The gown on the right has been
designed especially as a cocktail
dress, and embodies most Of the
features which mark the Spring
mode.
OF black georgette. the blouse
Is Of white crepe satin, heavily
embroidered in silk. The jacket
is Of the georgette and is ador-
ably RULED as to sleeves and
collar.
Ruffies also conplete the
"frou-frou" Of the frock and
make of 1t one Of the most ador-
able things yet SEEM
Either of these models Is In
perfect taste for afternoon wear
and at least one or the ether
should be included in every wo-
mans wardrobe. The gowns
worn underneath ara sleeveless.
