M eminent Paris couturier,
" " wore her jewels two and
three strands at time and
her bracelets three deep on each arm,
she gave pronounced impetus to the
vogue for jewelry This trend to
ornamentation began in the late Sum-
mer with the introduction OF SeQuins,
embroidery and glitter OF every kind
as a trimming for afternoon and eve
ming frocks.
Elaborate trimming, when used, or
massive jewelry, when worn to orna-
ment a dress, requires that the frock
itself be starkly simple, depending
upon exquisitely nodded and figure
revealing lines for its charm.
All the tricks in draping that FASH
ion can conceive are used this season
to create the frock that is deftly SIM
pie and flattering-the perfect back
ground for jewelry Of every kind. I
have selected for you this week three
designs that can be made easily and
that achieve the nodded look that
the new silhouette must have. They
are not too intricate for beginner in
sewing to attempt. While they en-
phasize the wasp waistline, they do
so in manner that the woman sew
ing at home can achieve successfully
In this year Of feminine fashions.
Pattern 1418-B is an example Of the
new background dress, with converti-
BILE neckline. Worn buttoned high at
the neck, the dress takes to q brilliant
clip or brooch. Worn open (as shown
in the smaller sketch) 1t looks smart
with necklace, scarf or twin clips
placed high at the throat. The sill
houette is the new pencil-slim one,
which has gained wide acceptance in
the wake of the Paris openings. You'll
cheer the way in which it takes away
inches and makes you look young and
slim. The dress is beltless and the
waistline lifted to just below the bust

straight lines Of the dress.

wool or in wool with bodice Of satin,

sions.
Pattern 1272-B gives smart empha-
sis to the lifted waistline in a manner
that becomes the woman who is not
so slim. as well as the slim young
thing who wears IA or 16 size. The
flattering turn-down collar in a LONG
v takes naturally to strands of pearls
to clips and pins, to flower fancies

ribbon sash and the waistline, lifted
only at the front, is wearable by all
figure types. Short, puffed sleeves
emphasize the smooth, tucked shoul-
der and the lightly shirred bodice
