To mention a few of the white
frockS, there is a white crepe with
sleeve capeS OF alternating strips of
lace and crepe that is soft and at
tractive; a sleeveless white one that
has sequin and crystal underarm sec
ticns that extend over on the front
of the bodice until they almost form
a V shape, and two white lace frocks
worthy of. mention, one with a well
covered rose pattern having a jacket
with sleeves. rather a mantronly
gown, and the other a del Itante
frock with a lace cape longer in
back and sloping up abruptly in the
front, to be caught together with a
knot of rose, red and purple. The
cape may be left on all the time, if
desired, as it has a fairly low round
line in the back.
ONE of the newest gowns for town
~ or resort wear is a soft suedey,
closely-woven crepe. high in the back,
by way OF contrast; sleeveless and at
tanning much chic and grace by means
of silk fringe, which hangs from a
shallow scalloped hip yoke to the floor
1t has a yoked shoulder cape, also
fringed, and cloth of silver belt. Rub
Der crepe is new material being used
and. as its rame suggests. it really
looks exactly ike bumpy rubber bath
ing cap, but IS most effective in white
draped model. due to its ability to cling
and hang especially well.
A new model in gray crepe empha-
sizes the tendency to lower the waist
line trifie by allowing the bodice full
ness to be caught in a fitted beaded
section that is more of a hip yoke than
a belt. This section extends up in a
point at front to meet the low V-shaped
neck. The bodice, which appears to be
two large triangieS caught at the shoul-
ders with rhinestone clips. has the wide
portion under the arms in very marked
fullness, giving quite a different sill
houette from the slim diaphragm one
most often observed. This model is
particularly adapted to certain types of
figures. 1t is beautifully done, too. with
a lovely beaded design.
In passing I should like to mention
large figured velvet in deep turquoise
blues and red on a. white ground with
red velvet Jacket Gold bugle band
ing forming intricate back Strapping
on gold crepe gown is not to be over
looked, and pale blue crepe with Judi
ciouS use of crystal fringe is quite de-
lightful. II you are interested in a
rich red gown. there is one with a deep
cape OF brown marquisette chiffon
striped with sequins and 'bordered with
brown FUR that is quite arresting. This
cape ties in the back and is made to
lust cover the arms, but not the low
V decolletage.
And now let us look at group of
dainty fresh net frocks with chenille
dots in contrasting colors. They are
so crisp and dainty. First there is
delicious peach color with brown
dots, not too close together, which
has the most adorable brown net
Jacket with puffy sleeves. This frock
IS done in black, too, with green
oots, and is lovely. They have
square neckS back and front, a well
come diversion This shop is show
Ing demure dinner dress of char
xfuSe Schiaparelli crepe, with no or
augmentation other than two rhine
stone clips at the shoulders. There
is boat-neck front and back, and
zoe toRS q the moderate puff sleeves
are cuc out. After so much glitter
and intricacy of cut it is always re-
fresaing to see the simple frock in
beautiful material and realize how
satisfying it is.
A DAINTY youthful frock suitable
either for the South or for town
now, and for continued use in the
Spring. is charming creation of finely
patterned white lace with fichu effect
tied at the front, extending to hip
length in the back, but slashed I'D the
center back. 1t is new in line and ma
terlal and a most serviceable frock. too.
one more suggestion is a black crepe
SKIRT and bodice foundation over which
Is worn white organdy tie-around
blouse with short, full sleeves and two
organdy flowers. Its immaculate crisn0
air.
