Well, 1t may be all that, and many

mains the idol of fashion.
However, there has crept into the
mode a feeling for clothes which
have a tailored look. The part of

that this Observation-Disclosures ex-

to such an extent that designers
take keen delight in tailoring the
sheerest of chiffons, and the latest
member to yield to the tailored in
tluence is lace.
One of the outstanding features
of the tailored effects which give dis
tinction to the evening modes is the
intricate scanning such as dress
makers years ago would hesitate to
attempt in handling laces and thin
gauzy materials. Note how the art
of scanning has been brought to a
point of perfection in the fashion
ing of the handsome lace dinner
gown pictured to the left. Here you
have a little jacket which effects, by
means of seaming-and seeming, too,

If one of his big feet landed on one

were frightened. Busters fright
was needless and foolish, but theirs

the way he was coming that he
wasn't going to be polite and ask
them to get out of his way. No
sir. Buster was too frightened to be
polite and ask them to get out of
his way. No, sir, Buster was too
frightened to be polite; he was in
too much of a hurry.
The wits of Paddy the Beaver
worked quickly. They always do.
He didn't have to stop to think TO
dive. He just dived without think
ing, and by the time he could do
any thinking he was safely out of
the way of Buster Bear. At the first
splash Buster made as he headed
for the shore, the Quack family
started to swim out of the way. But
Buster Bear was coming too fast
for them to get out of his way in
that manner. Mr.. Quack's wits
just opened his wings and sent him
up into the air like a rocket. He
didn't stop to think to fly; he sim

who has a perfect figure but is an
excellent model for the woman who
has TO cross off potatoes, puddings
and pies from her menu.
The handsome and new-this-year
durene lace of which this gown Is
made Is, as you see, particularly
adaptable to tailored treatment.
Both Ireland and Venice have had
a hand in designing this durene lace
and you will find, as the season ad-
va7ces, that the smartest laces be-
long exclusively neither to the EN-
erald isle or to the City of Islands
but to both.
A dinner gown that makes no pre-
tense of being essentially either for
debutant or dowager, but is really a
gown for all ages, is worn by the
lady seated. 1t has a pleasing low
back artfully trimmed with the cut
out edging of the soft durene lace.
Here also scanning, this time In di-
agonal movement, is employed thus
molding the gown to the figure in
those snug-fitting lines which are so
universal in fashions realm this
season. One can imagine the effec-
tiveness of a lace gown such as this
in wine red or Van Dyke brown
which is one of the very new names
on the color card or perhaps in
smart navy blue-in fact in any Of
the dark colorings which have en-
tered the evening mode.
The call for classic gowns of slen-
der silhouette made very simply Of
lace such as pictured is being
heard more and more as summer ad-
vances. For afternoon wear the
pastel shades are very much liked
and usually there is a matching
jacket.

Farmer Browns boy couldn't pos

So the instant Buster Bear caught
