Sheer Black Is Smart

IL is such an en1inently practical selec-
| ton for less ceremonious occasions, lit
\ tie dinners, the theater and small par
| ties that most women at present are
using it exclusively for this type Of
thing, choosing white OK colors for the
| formal Spring evening occasions.
Then there is black organdie. that
attracted favorable comment at Winter
resorts and that is chosen now for
strikingly youthful type of dress. It Is
not, OF course, good choice for the
dress you viii have to wear on many oc-
casions. But it is decidedly effective,
especially when combined with white
rose-colored satin.
Many of the new evening prints show
q clever use OF white, black and aqua
marine blue floral figures on a white
chiffon background, or black and bright
yellowish green ON white.
All along the line of new evening
dresses one sees interesting conbina-
tons of black with color. Certainly
none is more interesting than Channels
combination~of light blue lace and pink
lace with black lace.
Pink Is one Of the obviously becona-
ing evening shades that was purposely
neglected during the postwar period
when everything that suggested Vic
torian prettineSs was taboo. Now with
b146 3CJu1u Oh LIlS more feminine 0OL9
in dress it has been restored to q posi-
ton of importance. Recently we have
seen some charming pink organdip
dresses which are so definitely appro-
pirate for the really young woman that
we are hoping they VIII not be worn
by the woman Of 80 or more, to whom
almost any color would be more be-
coming.
There are many lovely blues for eve
ming wear this Spring. A greenish blue
that Is lighter and q little bluer than
turquoise, aquamarine, a clear rather
light royal blue as well as several dark
er shades. There are several yeIlowiSh
greens as well as true emerald shade
that Is frequently used In combination
with white or black and white.
Reds Of yellowish cast are approved
by some OF the important French dress
makers for evening wear, though these
shades will hardly be becoming to many
women II sun-tanned skins are revived
Tor another season. Clear yellows of
the buttercup and jonquil sort as well
as light greenish yellows of the char
treuse order are used alone or in COM
bination.
Violet, which has not been seen very
much for several seasons, is i11dorsed
for evening wear by number of French
dressmakers and may--just possibly
come into an important place among
evening colors before many months
have passed

a certain pearly luster difficult to de-
scribe, but infinitely effective.
Color is very important in Patou's
new collection, and color contrasts are
strongly in evidence. An orange and
green waistcoat is shown with a brown
suit, q yellow satin dinner gown is
belted with brown suede and a black
afternoon trock has a white fichu bor-
dered with yellow ribbon and q huge
yellow rose at the front of the corsage.
Despite this devotion to color, how
ever, black and white costumes are still,
numerically speaking, the strongest fac
tor in the collection. Often. however,
black Is varied by touches Of color, or
Of white. just as white dresses are
given added interest by jackets, sleeve
less coats or sashes and scarfS of black
Or color.
Patou's, silhouette is very new. The
fronts and backs of his latest creations
are quite nat, the flIllness being grouped
at the sides. According to this designer,
a skirt with fullneSs all around lacks
both youthfulness and smartnesS. Many
Of the models, especially the afternoon
dresses, have much narrower skirts than
heretofore.

~ UYING or making an evening
- dress is such an important
matter that it ought to be gone
IL about rather deliberately, but
unfortunately most women &C
tually do buy dresses Of this sort too
hurriedly. The reason for this is that
each new evening dress Is usually
bought for some special occasion.
Spring coats and suits and street cos
tunes and house dresses we buy as a
matter of course without waiting for
any specially important occasion on our
engagement pads to prompt the pur-
chase. But with most women the pur-
chase Of a new evening dress Is the
direct result Of some significant social
occasion. II it is a junior prom, a
senior ball, an important evening we'd
ding or class reunion dance we may
have several weeks in which to formu-
late our plans and make our selections.
For theater party, club dance or a
dinner party we may have less than q
week In which to find time for the i'm
portant preparations, and with the full
business or social schedule Of most up
to-date women this really does not
leave any too much time.
-
DROBABLY the sensible thing to do
u would be to choose one or two or
three or four new evening dresses for
Spring in the same matter-of-fact way
that we choose the more practical items
Of our wardrobes. But If we do not do
that we ought at least to give the sub
ject Of evening dress a little serious
thought so that when the time comes
for making actual selections we will
have not only convictions as to what
We want, but courage enough to carry
them through
So far as the dressmakers 60 the
question of skirt lengths is no longer
one of any great moment. To the
average woman 1t is still subject for
question If not debate. There has been
no important change in hemlines on
the part Of important dressmakers this
Spring. To be sure, an inch has been
added by this important French dress
maker for afternoon dresses or an inch
has been taken of by that dressmaker
for street and sports wear. These
changes are not worth noting. For
the American woman who wants def

mite advice there is the oft-repeated
rule that sports skirts should be IA
inches from the ground, suits and street
dresses IS and afternoon dresses 8
inches, with ankle or fun length skirts
for evening.
Such rules should not be taken arbi-
trarily, however. The proportions of
the figure and the contours of the
ankles should also be considered. The
only way Of expressing the rule that
will apply in all cases is that no skirts
should be much shorter than II inches
from the ground-and that the more
be the skirt length.
~ $50
T Usually evening skirts are said to
be full length or ankle length or
instep length. Many women, Of course,
choose for informal evening wear type
Of dress that may also be worn for late
afternoon. Such. skirts are usually 8
inches or whereabouts from the floor.
For dancing some Of the French
dressmakers advise ankle-length skirts
or, for certain individuals, skirts that
are 2 inches shorter than ankle length.
A compilation Of all the rules and
regulations that have been written on
the subject of skirt lengths would be
as complicated and confusing as the
rule governing the conjugation of
French verbs. It Is Of course perfectly
possible to master the verbs without
knowing a single rlle-and just as
possible to choose proper skirt lengths
without having any idea about the
inches involved.
waistIines really are norinal-more
normal, in fact, than they were in
former periods OF supposed normalnesS.
For now we have belts and girdles and
other indications Of the waistline placed
where the body is most slender. More
over we have waistlines of normal girth.
Fortunately whatever tendency there
was to feature q definitely drawn-in
waistline year ago has come TO naught.
It Is not so much that women have
definitely decided not to undergo the
discomfort Of lacing their waists as
that the irresponsible hip line is
still insisted upon, and it Is perfectly
impossible to overemphasize the slen-
derness of the waistline without also
overemphasizing the girth and round
ness Of the hips.
OCCASIONALLY in the new evening
~ dresses you find one with q belt
or narrow girdle placed an inch or so
above the line that Is strictly normal,
dication Of a return to q directoire
waistline.
Many fashion changes of late have
combined to bring about what might
be called a revival Of modesty in eve
ming dress. Probably the cause of these
changes was not In the nature of
reaction against immodest tendencies
because by the time we definitely gave
up the very short skirt it would have
been difficult to find any one who still
found it shocking Now there is a
definite reaction away from the very
low-backed evening dress-not so much
because women felt that it was i'm
modest, but because they had made the
discovery that other types of evening
dress were more becoming.

NEW colors, novel trimmings and new
lines-of such is the news of dress
designing. Patou Is one of the most
original Of designers and his most re-
cent collection is nc disappointment to
those Of his clientele who rely on him
always for a new slant on dress crea-
ton.
In his evening collection many lace
dresses appear, belted with wide crushed
belts Of black patent leather. Another
unusual and striking costume was a
yellow organdie dress belted with patent
leather, while an fntricately beaded
bodice added formality to another or
candle frock IN opaline green. Printed
chiffons with widely spaced floral motifs
were stressed for evening gowns.
Everything in the world around them
furnishes dress designers with inspira-
ton for their genius. This season, for
instance, Jean Patou's two new colors,
opaline yellow and opaline green. are
taken from the opaline glassware made
by Louis Philippe. Of which Patou has
remarkable collection. The two new
shades are wonderfully sprtnglike, with

IL An evening gown OF heavy black

Of the skirts Of the middle Of the nine
tenth. century, while, on the other
hand, frocks Of fine striped tulle, with

stifened at the edge to stand away
from the figure. Lanvin Goes many
dresses Of these types.
Her wedding gown this season is OF

the figure. Further novelty is seen IN
this peplum in the fact that 1t is made
entirely of braided bands Of the crepe

gown Of black crepe.
figured, have skirts made with widen
ing Rodets covered with overlapping
panels OF the material. Afternoon
gowns and few evening models have
bell skirts cut in cores, wide at the
hemline but very narrow at the top.
Bodices Of these are composed Of hort-
gontal bands Of the material.
PELTs of frocks come in for consid-
~ cradle Of Lanvin's attention. Triple
belts, made Of patent leather or the
material CT the gown, are fastened in
the front with three buckles. Gathered
belts are used on printed frocks.
Due 10 the forthcoming French Colo
Mai Exposition we have been hearing
much 81 late about the colonial tnfu-
ence on costume. Many designers SHOW
this influence in color only, featuring
costumes in the brilliant colors and
striking color contrasts seen in the ma
tive costumes Of the African colonies
Jeanne Lanvin goes farther and shows
the colonial trend in both cut ana line
In her most recent designing.
Burnocses, turbans and modified
Eapuchin collars, which are developed
In lingerie effects, but directly derived
from the hood Of the burnoose, are Tea
lures Of her new models.
Worth, in his designing this spring,
makes interesting use Of belts. Metal
belts and chain effects are shown on
both tailored clothes and afternoon
costumes Leopard fur is used to girdls
evening gowns and formal afternoon
and evening dresses have belts Of COL
ored beads and brilliants. So it is in
details such as these that the mode is
elaborated for the coming season.
Sleeves and scarfs come in for con-
aIderable attention in worth's designs,
where short sleeves are the rule rather
chan the exception IN coats as well as
dresses. Gloves, reaching almost TO the
elbow. show as much elaboration Of de-
tail as do the costumes. Suede gloves
have series OF fine pleats at the wrists
n the form of bracelets. A novelty
glove for evening wear has q series Of
three inserted sections Of suede laid in
loose pleats.
CCARFS TO match coats and dresses,
~ and even blouses, are worn draped
over the shoulders in the drop-shouloer

gown. Edged with three or four inch
