1450-B. PRACTICAL DRESS FOR
GENERAL WEAR.-If you choose
dark silk or a synthetic crepe and
make it from this pattern you will
have a frock sensible enough to wear
to a morning club meeting and smart
enough for an informal luncheon.
The silhouette is the one approved for
heavier f1gures-slim through the aips
and waist and trimmed at the neck
line. The collar is of particular in
terest in this frock. Without being
too difficult to make. it combines
novel light fabric with the dress ma
terial and at the back is cut like a
typical sailor collar, the light band
stopping at the side edges, not cross
ing at the bottom. The skirt is simple,
with side pleats in the front of the
insets to insure freedom. This pat
tern includes both long and short
sleeves. Either one is smart.

taffeta, lame or grosgrain ribbon, with
bows, flowers, clips or bright pins.
The new silks play such prominent
roles, it is sometimes difficult to de-
eide whether the frock or the fabric
is more important. Take the satin
backed silks, for example Things are
happening to the dull side, and a
deep pebbly surface may take the
place of the traditional crepe, or,
again, there may appear fine dag
onal faille or a weave which looks as
if it had been hammered instead of
woven. The dull side is the favorite
for frocks, with the satiny surface
next the skin, and brought forth to
shine in collars, bows, belts, bandings
or other accents
Dark colors are no longer the only
street colors. There are lots of rich
reds, deep greens and soft vintage
shades ready to contrast smartly with
your dark Winter coat. If you do
choose dark colors, and most Of us
must be practical-minded, put black
at the top of the list, of course. but
be sure to follow it with black tulip,
carbon blue, and a blue-green which
looks almost black Let few metal
threads shine from the fabric of your
frock in faint stripe, fine plaid or
a silvery frosting, or at least Shroud
your shoulders in lame.

DARIS has drawn inspiration for
L many of the most dramatic Of
modern costumes direct from roman
tic chapter in history, the Middle Ages.
Designers have seized upon the me-
dieval splendor of churchly pomp and
pageantry, the richness Of court Gus
toms and the picturesque simplicity
of monastery robes to endow the new
formal fashions with Old World
beauty.

Afternoon and evening modes are
replete with Moyen Age themes. You
will find in hostess and dinner gowns,
for instance, the famous bateau neck
line, deep-flowing sleeves and the
nodded, unbelted silhouette which
sweeps floorward to the end in a
short, full train. For formal daytime
hours Paris employs simpler themes,
none the less Moyen Age. Here one
sees the monastic robe, sometimes with
draped hood cowl, and always with
wide, graceful sleeves. Neck and
waistline marked with a simple cord
are distinguishing features. Q451-B)
Variations of medieval themes are the
wide, soft collar which covers the
shoulders and turns over softly about
the neck, paneled lines, and wide
bands at the wrists to accent the
sleeves extreme width. Q451-B)
Velvets. of course, are of first i'm
portance. And when we say velvet
this Autumn, we think not only of the
classic mat and transparent types but
host of novelties with which fashion
interprets this new formal elegance.
Some look like moire; some are
shaded from faint to deep tones Zone
designer makes dozens of evening
gowns from this type); some are
ribbed, while others are printed,
plaided, puckered or made with taffeta
backs Those of you who are doubtful
of velvet's practically may dispel your
fears, for the latest ones have un-
crushable. spotproof and waterproof
characteristics which make them one
of the most useful as well as the most
important of fabrics.
Next to velvet for afternoon come
the rich new cloaky fabrics, of which
you'll hear much. These are the

materials which lend themselves so
beautifully to simple, rich-looking

smartest Of tWeeds. Paris prefers
plaids, the bigger and more dynamic
the better, like the one illustrated in
No. 1452-B. Black, red and yellow,
blue, cocoa brown and yellow, and
brown with soft and dark shades of
green are color combinations which
arrest the eye and gladden. the wearer
For the football game, for campus or
class room, for week ends in the coun-
try or mornings in town, we can't
think of anything smarter, particu-
larly with accents of bright velveteen
at throat and waist. If you want to
be ultra chic. you'll wear velveteen
gloves and floppy velveteen beret to
match.
Right in line with plaids are checks
every one of them good, from the
tiny shepherds variety to big, bold
stroke affairs, where again black and
red figure prominently. Soft rabbits
hair woolens. fine jerseys and pebbly
weaves play versatile roles. There are

Necklines this season have set out
to flatter. Youth loves the high

Sequins, you know, have been newly
discovered by Paris and are giving a
cheerful shine to dull black velvet
and black crepe frocks. There are
simple kerchief scarfs to drape about
your neck, sequin capes and collars,
as well as very wide belts.
If you have been cherishing a bit
of real old lace, now is the time to
bring it forth, for lace was never
smarter. A tiny piece will do for that
important jabot at the front Of your
frock, but if you have more make it
into tunic to wear with a dark velvet
skirt. Metal-shot laces are loveliest
for evening, and lace evening scarfs
are back in the picture.

must be selected with care. Fine hose

decreed a new cut to shoes, nothing
else looks smart; so be sure that your
evening shoe at least has a strap that
comes well up about your ankle. If it
faStens with a jeweled clip, so much
the better. Be on the lookout for
boots-there's much talk of them in
Paris, particularly the Russian boot,
which mates so well with the tunic
frock.
Just as hats and shoes, the new
gloves have their high moments, too.
For afternoon, they're reaching the
elbow to meet the short flare sleeve,
which is constantly increasing In i'm
portance. For evening, there are some
that come almost to the shoulder |!
Formal daytime wear finds fabric
gloves much in the limelight, some
times ornamented with leather in
strips or bands which key with the
bag one carries. Velvet, of course, is
top chic. The limited budget will
welcome ensemble sets of bright
velveteen-gloves, hat and scarf
which offer smart changes for a dark
town or sports costume.

clothes. Their patterns are distinc-

shaped motifs most frequently seen.
Failles, satins and the sitter fabrics
are all in key with the luxury of
formal fashions.
nESIGNERS were bound to see the
possibilities of Moyen Age COL
ors-and they have. Black is no
longer queen, for today we have with
us the rich, glowing, intense tones that
glorify medieval paintings. Stained
glass colors" more nearly describes
them. There are royal purple and all
its family, deep wines. clear bright
blues, plum, warm browns and forest
green's. And all outstanding in velvet!
If, despite the persuasion of fashion,
you prefer black, be sure that it has
an accent of color. for our days must
be bright, not dull. A black velvet
afternoon frock is that much smarter
for a touch of warm red at throat and
wrists G451-B), a note of chartreuse
or frosty blue. We suggest also lame
to give a black gown that much
coveted Midas touch-and there are
new hammered gold satins which
