Although securities on the New
York Stock Exchange have lost
in the first days of this month
practically all the gains registered
in January and bonds have moved
down from their recent peak, the
leading advisory organizations
hold to the opinion that the Sc
curity markets are on the verge
of a sustained upward swing, &C
cording to Gage P. Wright, editor
of the Business Economic Digest.
A weighted average of the
opinions of more than 40 of the
best-known economic and market
observers shows practically COM
plete unanimity of belief that the
lows of last July marked the bot
tom of the long bear market, and
that an upward movement is in
sight, he reports.

BLACK SHEEP TWEED

The black sheep has come into

romantic and interesting old fellow,

Black sheep tweed is the newest
of the new fabrics. sponsored by
Schiaparelli and shown In clothes

rough, rich. flecked tweed with
homespun look, it uses the undyed
wool of the black sheep, which isn't
black at all, but deep brown or
gray. And is 1t a knockout? 1t is.
One of the incest sports outfits of
the season has a jacket of gray
black-sheep tweed fiecked with yel-

of gray-knitted silk jersey. Black
sheep tweed also fashions a stun

for the now-present autumn and
winter social season is just like that
-trending toward an era of grande
dame modes the equal of which have
not been beheld for many a decade
past.
Not only are fabrics, laces, jew
elry, furs and all such elegances
which go to make for formality Of
the most luxurious sort this sea-
son, but the very stateliness of the
new silhouette lends itself impress
siyely to the scene. In this era
of splendor for the evening mode,
ladies are taking on sirenlike
and statuesque lines" which only
sheath-fitting gowns which dare to
flare not at all until they have
reached a sufficient distance below
the knee, can impart.
If there Is one requisite more than
another which a program of ele-
gance in dress calls for, 1t Is that
the fabrics employed be as beauti-
full as looms and hand-weaving can
make them. Which is eminently
true in regard to the lovely vel
vets, the cleaning satins, the en-
chanting laces and the scintillating
metal cloths which are glorifying
the scene of action at the present
moment.
If one can afford but one hand
some evening dress by all means
let ii be of black velvet, for, as
every knowing woman will agree,
there is nothing which so fatters
as this lovely material. You will
notice that the handsome velvet cos
tune pictured to the left in this
group adopts the very latest styl-
ing which calls for a fiounced hem
line. This ankle flare is headed
with ruche which is lined with
black taffeta. The pointed-at-

They are called chin flowers be-
cause you wear them right close up
under the chin. They really began
as an evening novelty and as such
serve admirably in adding pretty
touch to the new high-in-front neck
lines which so many of the smart
est metal cloth and other rich fab
ric formal gowns now feature. The
great attractiveness of this fash
ion has led to flowers being posed
in a similar manner on daytime
frocks. At the top, in the picture,
the young woman with the rust
colored wool frOck which has braid
ed epaulets is wearing conventional
poppies made of deep nasturtium
colored kidskin. Below vivid chrys-
anthemums are clustered at the
neckline of a black crepe dress.
The Coolidge examiner., 1933-11-10

shoulder long sleeves are also a sig
nificant style feature. AS to the ex-
treme decollette, this gesture of a
high front neckline with a very low
cut line at the back is characters
tic of the majority of the newest
evening gowns. The velvet theme
is accented in the gloves which are
of this same-a thoroughly modern
dinner gown this, in the strictest
sense of the word.
The gown TO the right in the pic
ture is one of those adorable lace
creations which add infinitely to
feminine charm. Lelong gives this
model outstanding distinction in
that the lace is in the new and love
ly wild blackberry shade and is
of cobweb delicacy. Also the move
ment which places fullness at the
back through cascades Of the lace
is very important, for the latest i'm
ports stress fanciful back treat
ments. Again we see the highest
neckline at the front sloping to
waistline depth at the back. AS to
lace as a medium for dressy dinner
gowns and dance-party frocks too
much emphasis cannot be placed
upon its high-style standing.
The entrancing frock centered In
the foreground is of cleaning, scin-
tillating brocaded silver lame, for,
as we intimated before, metal
weaves abound in the realm of eve
ming materials. We may expect to
see more beautiful gold and silver
particularly the latter) fabrics this
season than usual. In fact the gilt
tering note resounds throughout the
entire evening program. Schi-
aparelli here interprets the new
