The new clothes, of which youth, Slen-
dernesS and sophistication are the chief
characteristics, are too smart on the
1.-THE, long-limbed young girl TO be re-
sisted or even questioned
Even sports clothes, which have
changed the least, have dropped their
skirts from 2 to inches, raised the
waist line to the normal marked by belt
or tuck-in blouse and display the hall
marks of the season in line and fabric
manipulation. Although two and three
piece ensembles are correct, the far
seeing debutante will select a four-piece
model on which she can build practical
~ all of her daytime wardrobe.
A short jacket, fitted into q belt at
the waist like lumber jacket or one of
the new glorif1ed ur-edged cardigans
may be worn with a wrap-around or sec
tionally pleated skirt to make a correct
suit.
The three-quarter or seven -eighths
coat may be worn as q topcoat or as
the partner of a tailored dress The
newest Of these tweed topcoats are fur
lined, many being reversible, and all OF
them are trimmed with fur, usually of
the informal sort such as kid, caracul,
raccoon, wolf and badger.
To make such an ensemble comfort
able for foot ball games and other sports
events there are sweaters. The newest
are OF the lacy tweeds or wool lace with
lingerie touches.
Every debutante will want velvet
dress to wear to the teas of her sister
debutantes. Here again there is the re-
strained fullness at the hemline, ema-
mating from the cores, godets, bias
nounceS or circular cut, the higher
waistline achieved by tucks shirrings
or belt, and the Softening touch OF lace
in collar, jabot and on the sleeves. Err
mine sometimes substitutes for the lace,
the collar extending to form q narrow
rever to the waistline.
TO wear for the more formal of these
occasions and to dinner when eve
ming dress Is not required, there are
princess and two-piece dresses of metal
cloth and lovely soft net frocks, In

of wool velour coat of bright emerald
green, star sapphire or deep red with

from the circular cut from cores inset
at the sides and back, or from the
fiounceS which mount upward in front

facing TO the hem, tuxedo and pouch

row rows or deep bands mounting to the
waistline.
Tulle in white, sky blue, clover pink
or pale Nile green is the first choice
Of the debutante for her gown of
gowns-the coming-out frock-which
later serves as the premier dancing
frock.
Metal embroidered, printed and plain
Chiffon, satin. panne velvet, in white or
pale pink, sheer metallic brocade, MORE
and tanetas, are appropriate. These
gowns are made with the very long
skirts, many Just escaping the floor
Some OF the skirts hang in petal points,
others are even all around. while stiIi
others are short in the front and slope
toward the back where they spread out

The upper parts of these gowns are
close fitting to the knees in the
princess molding, with the higher waist
line defined by a narrow belt. or by
tiny tuekS or shirrings. All of the va
rious methods for introducing fullness
are seen in the skirts, including circular
hounces depending from smooth hitting
yokes, layer upon layer of petal-like
tiers, godets applied in points, trailing
drapeFies, bias seeming from which
drop long panels and poufs and bows
posed ut the hipline. The V-shaped
decolletage still remains the favorite,
although 1t may be squared, rounded or
treated diagonally in front, and may be
draped or softened by a scarf in the
back. Flowers and a discreet use Of
skrass are the only additional trim
ynings.

velvet While the wrap may not be of
the fabric or even the color of the
gown, It will link with it in some way,

evening wraps are made reversible, vel
vet combined with lame, so that they
may at least match two gowns.
