color happens
wv to be favored for eve
ming wear, there is al
ways a large sprinkling Of black
or white frocks in every smart
place after dark. Nearly every
fashion-wise woman included
both a black and a white frock
in her evening wardrobe, for
these two colors can be called
upon to meet almost any emerg-
ency and most accessories can
be worn with either of them.
The drawings today depict eloquent
ly the charms of a black and a white
evening frock. The black frock uses a
lustrous crepe satin and a note of bril-
lance Is obtained by the ornament Of
strass in bow-knot form which does adj
ditional work by holding the looped
scarf at one shoulder. The scarf ere
ates n novel back decolletage. The
d~iagonally placed peplum accentuates
the slim silhouette. The lower edge Of
the hem Is circular and reaches just to
the instep. This type of frock Is most
practical, as it car be worn with good
effect with black or brilliantly hued
accessories.
The white frock shows the charms of
ruffled white chiffon. Ruffles are
very important this year and n sees
them on the most exclusive frocks. The
coatee Of emerald green sequins Is q
novel affair with one long sleeve and
half a bolero. A wide scarf, really the
narrowing Of the bolero, Is drawn up
over the shoulder to hold the brief
Jacket in its place.
