with cream lace collar.
For formal late afternoon wear there
Is nothing smarter than black com.
bined with ecru lace. One model OF
this tyne used ecru lace banding for
its v neck and continued 1t for shoul-
der sections and short sleeves. The
skirt had set-in pleats at the right side
and black coat completed the ensem-
BILE. Another dress Of similar char
acter used the deep ecru lace for long
flowing sleeves, with the exception OF
the upper third, which was black
crepe. There was Q scarf Of the lace
knotted at the pointed neck opening.
For the person to whom gray Is be-
coming there was shown plain crepe
de chine, with interesting lines includ-
ing a simulated bolero, the front line
of which was a continuation OF the
v neck on either side. The sleeves nao
applied circular sections near the top
and there was o shoulder flower OF the
material. The skirt was circular &C the
sides. Among the dark blues for formal
DAYTIME wear was one with q Deaded
yoke of seed pearls having cluster
of small flowers and leaves worked out
in pearl beads at the front. The
sleeves had deep puffs OF white geor-
gette at the wrists; The same trim,
ming as on the blouse front marked
the Joining of the puffs to the upper
portion of the sleeve. Instead OF the
usual circular fullneSs, the skirt gained
it's fullness by means OF panel ana
pleats.
A good looking black nat crepe made
use Of bands Of bright blue ana Wnlte
srograin ribbon as finish for the neck
and sleeves, and its belt had q buckle
of brilliants. The lower edge OF the
skirt was scalloped. Pewter blue was
used to good advantage in two-piece
dress of rather unusual cut. The nip
length Jacket was plain and revealed
at the front two long tabs from the
waist portion, which extended well
down onto the skirt. From these at
the sides we're three groups OF horl-
zontal tuckS. The white collar was
caught under . pointed tab at the
front.
Contrasting Color.
There is a very marked tendency to
material with a stippled effect-that
is, the tiniest of dots in contrasting
color. A simple and inexpensive but
most effective dress of this kind had
black background with yellow dots. A
short bolero Jacket tied in front over
a vest of yellow with black dots. The
short sleeves had cuffs Of the yellow
tied in little bows. One delightful
Summary frock was made OF white net
with q Dolly Warden pattern In pink
and blue: 1t was all flufiy and nut.
terry, with two founces to the skirt
and q little ruined jacket Of the same
and elbow-length sleeves also ruined
It was the daintiest and coolest-look-
ing frock for a Summer day that
could be imagined.
The bride, always beautiful at any
time no matter what the dictates Of
fashion may be, has an especially lovely
selection Of models from which TO
choose this Spring. II she does not
fancy the classical white satin she may
have her gown entirely Of lovely lace
as one shown recently with several tiers
of it for the skirt with most generous
long, rounded train, and the waist made
simply and becomingly, the whole COW
cred with a long tulle veil. If satin is
used, 1t Is usually cut on rather simple
lines with flowing train, and IN this
case the veil may be Of tulle or lace
One unusual model was made Of ivory
moire, with a tulle yoke that dropped
of the shoulders and was finished with
adorable little puffs Of lace for sleeves.
A band of lace also joined the tulle
yoke to the MORE dress, which was cut
the bottom With this could be worn
either a tulle or lace veil.
Evening Dresses.
There is such a wealth of charm,
grace and loveliness among the evening
dresses that one is bewildered Even
those who cannot unreservedly accept
the newer daytime trend must surely
admit that the styles for evening are
altogether beautiful. There Is much
diversity as to. fabric and line, so many
ways Of expressing this new loveliness
that one can with ease choose innumer-
able models. One may have her skirt
composed Of two or more hounces, or 1t
may be Of unbroken length, but al
ways there Is much fullneSs. And
there may be cape wings at the back Of
the bodice or q bolero effect or the
bodice may be quite plain and enhanced
with huge bow properly placed, and
coming to youth, or no sleeves, fol-
lowing the usual style, and the back
may be cut low or high. So you see
there are many opportunities for in
dividual Interpretation, an important
factor in assembling ones wardrobe.
Imagine heavy ivory white taffeta
with a fitted bodice and yoke Of flesh
tinted tulle overlaid with five tiny
pipings Of the taffeta and a deep full
tulle hounce with delicate latticed de-
sign Of the same piping, French ribbon
flower cluster ornamenting the corsage,
the exquisite whole suggesting the deli
cate illusiveneSS Of a Pavlowa. A de-
lightful little frock of the new pewter
blue had its distinctive feature in a
peplum Of alternating leaf-like sections
Of silk and net of the same shade.
Silver slippers are lovely complement
