or that there are dresses you may

that you may not wear II you are
forty-two-or even that there are

OF sixty-hve-sounds rather alb
surd nowadays. Almost entirely
the suitability of a dress this
season depends on figure rather
than on age.
There is a new dignity and
grace in clothes that make wen
those designed for the younger
woman not unsuitable for her
mother. The fiapperish fashions
OF a few years ago-clothes that
made the eighteen-year-old took
as boyish rs possible and made
her mother look grotesque-are a
thing OF the past. There is no

Dress Once Called

The fact that a new evening
frock called for sixteen yards Z
material strikes one as rather re-
markable. and women who make
their own dresses or buy the
material for their dressmakers to
use. have. OF course. noticed
probably with regret-that the
two oil three yards Of material
that suficed a few years ago is
no longer adequate.
From our point or view sixteen
