FASHION has discovered =. nothing
more gloriously harmonized to aft
ernoon and formal evening environ
ment than richly colorful prints. This
season, more than ever, printed mate
rails have way Of telling their in
tention. You know the moment you
look at print whether it is to be
worn formally or informally.
AS in every other realm of fashion
at the present moment, it is smart for
prints to be gay. The dressier prints.
especially, are perfectly gorgeous.
This is so not only in the matter Of
their exotic coloring. but their pat
terning is outstanding. One finds, for
instance, such striking effects among
evening chiffOns as a black back
ground with life-size tulips printed in
red and white with leaves in lively
green. Natural flowers which look al
most as If hand-painted flourish in
the printed mode, special prominence
being given to field flowers, the red
Of the enormous peoples and the blue
Of the cornfowers responding to the
red, white and blue Of the now-so-
fashionable bi-centennial colors.
A crinkled construction is favored
in chiffons this season, which include
many tinted grounds with delicate art
full color work in vanished patterns.
These carry large florals of tropical
aspect, which seem to say that they
are going to dance under moonlit skies
or pose on picturesque verandas, or
be seen elsewhere midst luxurious sur
roundings under glamorous lights.
Bordered chiffons done in real flow
er colorings capture the fancy of ev-
cry woman seeking the new and the
beautiful. They work up delightfully."-
into the new scarf Grapes and gypsy
girdle effects.
Just as if the richly colorful prints
Of present vintage were not sufficient
unto themselves, fashion fills their
cup of beauty full to overlooking by
adding velvet accent which repeats
a leading tone Of the designful pat
terning. 1t may be achieved, this add
ed touch of elegance, via a velvet CIR
die or soft tied bows at the shoulder

or at other strategic points. 1t Ia,
perhaps, to their little velvet wraps
that evening fashions owe most of
their gaiety. Waist-length jackets or
capes or boleros-the treatments are
varied, but the idea is universally APP
pealing.
Fashion-wise budgeteers, this year,
are planning at least two jackets with
their evening frocks-one in velvet in
high color and the other in the fab
ric, which makes the dress. For In
stance, the strikingly colorfnl printed
flowery dress with its jewel-claspe0
velvet girdle as shown to the left in
the illustration spends as you now see
it, formal afternoon at bridge. With
the jacket removed it stays on for din
ner and dancing. It again alters its
appearance completely when later on
in the season of festivities it changes
its printed jacket for short wrap Of
bright medici velvet that matches one
tone in the print.
When 1t comes to thrills and frills,
boast myriads Of prettily frivolous ruff
filings and shirrings, there is nothing
so conspicuously present as the new
little capelet wraps Of velvet in vivid
tone. For instance. if milady's dress
is made of one of the very new printed
heavy sheer crepes like the Persian
print pictured on the figure standing
to the right in the picture, she may
wear wrap-around cape of flame-col-
ored medici transparent velvet to re-
peat co,ored motif in the print. 1t
is taken for granted that somewhere
in reserve a brief jacket of matching
print is in waiting to complete upon
demand perfect ensemble for dinner
or informal evening wear.
The twisted scarf, or those braided,
which employ two or three colors of
velvet, are accessories which should
be included in every wardrobe of pref
ty trihes which brighten the spring or
summer costume.

AFTERNOON FROCKS
NOT so ELABORATE

With the return of beige as cos
tune color, other pastels have come
into prominence-soft pinks and
greens and blues. But there Is no
elaboration to these frocks.
They do not approach the feminine
fashion Of afternoon dresses that we
have always associated with the name.
For these are essentially daytime
dresses. The smartest frocks are
fashioned along simply tailored lines,
without much trimming, except per-
haps the ever-present lingerie touches.
Rough silk crepes and fiat silk
crepes are used. but always silks with
dull surfaces. Sheer crepes also, Of
the heavier varieties, that tailor al
most like fat crepe, are very smart
for spring.
Black dresses, with plenty Of white
trimming, will, Of course, be worn with
black coats, but many women will
seize this opportunity for lightness
and brightness. Coral, pink, light
greens and blues and beige all make
smart frocks to wear with black coats
With a blue coat the lighter shades
of blue form a pleasing contrast. With
brown. beige or the aquamarine
shades are particularly attractive.
These dresses. fortunately, will not
be long.
Longer dresses will be of a more
formal type for late afternoon occa-
sions and formal dinner. These frocks
will be more elaborate, and lower as
to decolletage.
