A SUB-DEB frock also in net comes
in the popular coronation blue,
with accents of deep rose velvet. 1t
has a high-collared neckline with
front gathers, a princess V-topped
skirt and puffed sleeves with velvet
roses in two shades tucked into the
folds. A narrow rose velvet band
finishes the bottom of the skirt. This
is lovely little party frock for the
golden or titan blond.
Much liked by the younger con-
tingent is a white net with narrow
silver ribbon bands through the puff
sleeves and at the hem. A very
splashing bouquet of roses fills In the
front of the shallow v neck This
dress, which has a flounce put on at
about knee length, is especial adapt
able to the shorter girl. as it can
readily be raised at this point and
even made into an ankle-length dress
without detracting in any way from
its style.
Taffeta is every bit as popular as

darling dresses, beginning with one
of casino blue, with bands of shirred
velvet in a darker shade and butterfly
bows at the shoulders. This blue is
deeper and richer than robins egg
blue, and Is one of those odd shades
that make an immediate appeal be-
cause it Is different. This dress also
comes in Don rose and Spanish raisin,
a dark rose bordering on the fuchsia.
Taffeta frocks are apt to be trimmed
with bands of narrow ribbon velvet,
and are equally attractive in white,
black or colors. A white taffeta
sprinkled with rhinestone sequins has
a lot of charm, and, like the all-black
dress, forms an ideal background for
a wide choice of accessories.
A ND do not think for a moment
= that the stately damasks are to
be reserved exclusively for the woman
Of regal bearing, for We found an
adorable Junior version Of this type
of frock that is entirely in keeping
with the less sophisticated person, or,
again. it is admirably suited to the
young woman who is junior size.
1t is lovely patterned satin damask
in blond baroque, with tiny shoulder
straps and made on empire lines.
The color is rosy, mellow ivory and
neutral enough to combine with ac-
cessories of sapphire blue, bright
green or rose This model was re-

New York stores.
On the hunt for more delectables
for dancing juniors, we spied white
chiffon with v neck. shirred at the
shoulders and piped with gold kid to
match the lovely lacey gold kid leaves
that encircled the waist. The skirt
was circular and very full, making an
ideal gown for the dance floor. This
frock calls to mind Vionnet's recent
model of beautiful white crepe dress,
girdled with gold leather leaves. It
is equally enhancing in jade green
chiffon.

literally yards and yards of material
in che skirt-18, to be exact, at the
widest part. The formula was three
fiounces, each increasing in width
toward the bottom. This is surely
getting back to the days of 1850, at
least.
The use of braided velvet in three
colors for shoulder straps on heavy
white cerpe, and also for wider band
at the hem, was interesting. Three
velvet chrysanthemums in the same
colors of blue, rose and soft green
spanned the front Of the square decol-
lete. 1t was fascinating to see the
dresses displayed on racks according
to color, in one shop. and to note how
prominent were the whites. White
and silver lanes were included and

with bindings of sapphire blue velvet
on the shoulder frills suggested blue
velvet sandals and gold bracelets set
with sapphires to complete the picture.
