Evening star., 1936-04-08

double-deck capeEKe ncnou Is ar
ranged to give an off-shoulder line
with the upper part Of the bodice
built up in one thin layer OF net to
high square neckline. The skirt re-
peats the pleated ruffles seven times
around the bottom in graduated
widths. The next frock is white chif-
fon printed in large pastel flowers,
the blouse and elbow length pulled
sleeves being entirely knife pleated.
Two large fluffy flowers are placed
at a high neckline and the skirt flares
full from just below the hips.
Lilac mousseline makes most
wearable little Spring evening frock
simply styled with rows of narrow
pleating around the neck, spray Of
rosy lilac flowers to hold the pleat-
ing down at center front, puff sleeves
and skirt fiounce with pleated head
ing. The color and daintineSS Of the
fabric are responsible for the charm
of this dress, which was shown re-
Gently at an afternoon fashion parade
during the cocktail hour in one of
Washington's downtown roundevous.
The same shop offers a smart black
and white bolero dress. The black
chiffon gown is topped with bolero
of embroidered white organdy with
large puff sleeves and a very large
bouquet of white flowers thrust under
the belt.
A N UNUSUAL white lace gown, with
= sprays of little tufted flowers, was
another high point, with its bras
siere" bodice and clusters of tiny vio-
let velvet ribbons tied at the shoulders
and a violet velvet ribbon sash with
two long streamers and a bunch of
violets instead of a bow. A lace pep
lum jacket, with puffed sleeves, was a
part Of this ensemble, which was COM
pleted by strap sandals of alternating
purple satin and silver kid.
A blue flowered white organza was
worn with a long monks cape Of blue
chiffon that rippled to the floor, and
was made of two separate strips of
chiffon, one over each shoulder.
The tunic idea was shown in navy
blue taffeta with sprigs of small fow-
ers scattered over its surface. This
was worn over a chiffon print, which
matched the taffeta.

THERE are two Easter gift sugges-
tions that we have just learned
about, and want to pass on to you as
good tips. One of these is a quartet
of little f1acons of perfume containing
three drains each that have made
their appearance just in the nick of
time to add to your Eatser enjoyment.
There are three fragrances which are
so similar to three well-known and
very expensive perfumes that you can
scarcely tell them apart, but, of course,
they do not carry these names. but are
called Nos. /, and 3. A Whit of each
will tell you the secret. The fourth
is the popular garden1a and very true
to the flower, too. These flacons are
attractively boxed for gifts in white
suede fabric with gilt edges-a happy
Easter remembrance at $1.50 each,

The other one is an entirely new
idea in perfume presentations. 1t is
a perfume, yet it is not liquid nor a
paste. To look at it you would think
that it surely must be lipstick in its
container, but when
you remove the cap and screw up the
stick you find it is white instead of
red, and may be rubbed on the lobe
of the ear or the back of the hand,
or wherever you like best to put
those last-minute dabs of fragrance.
you are astonished at
the quality of the fragrance, and later |
you are thrilled with its lasting quail |
ties. It's so easy to carry in the hand
bag and so easy to use in jiffy, just |
when you want it most. For gift 1t
IS attractively boxed in black and gold,
and is just the newest thing on the |
market. You may have your choice |
Of four delightful scents, which we will |
let you discover for yourselves.
