Victorian Motif Used
I like the old fashioned gold jew

wearing with Smartly tailored black
crepe street frOcks. The costume
jewelry shows the influence Of the
early Victorian art in the massive
bracelets and ornate floral design
Of the brooches. A broad trimmed
black tafeta hat is chic for a fin
ishing touch.
The debs select gay Powered
printed chifons for dinner wear.
Their dresses are cut minus backs,
but with high front necklines and
are sleeveless. The predominating
colors of the floral design are bright
blue. scarlet and golden yellow. This
featured shade is matched in an
accompanying cape of quilted taf-
feta. Bright Roman sandals. crepe
evening bag and chiffon hand
kerchief in an extra size, complete
the accessories.
Many daytime costumes remind
one of a Cooley Lady Book print.
