sleeves Made in one of the new
metal-thread brocades or taffeta, this
frock is as alive as the ballet girl
in Degas painting.
Let the woman who would charm
the world with her femininity choose
pattern 1868, with its softly shirred
bosom and high girdled waistline. 1t
emphasizes the natural figure in a
manner that every woman must find
fiattering. The wide, fitted girdle
gives smooth midriff line that makes
every diaphragm look smaller and the
bustline fuller. The bodice is shirred
very generously and closes in a deep
v line, further accenting these fem
mime curves. This is a two-piece
fpock, so that if you prefer you can
make up this dress in contrasting
fabrics-skirt of velvet and blouse OF
lame, for instance. The blouse would
then be wearable, too, with a suit
Made entirely of velvet. the dress is
a stunning expression of the feminine
silhouette so widely acclaimed among
the seasons newest fashions.

l. dinner for eight, or joining
friends for restaurant dinner
- and the theater, you need a
dress that is designed for the occasion.
1t should be, says Fashion. dress of
good lines, simple but figure molding,
of fabric that is blessed with a
touch of the elegant With it you will
wear your best jewels-not singly, but
in punches, and hat that perches
impertinently upon your head, draped
f1irtatiously in flowing veil.
It's a costume that you will enjoy
wearing for the subtle flattery Of its
mood. I have selected for you here
three designs that interpret this cos
tune Made up in velvet, satin or a
metal brocade, any one of these de-
signs is dress that your friends will
envy. And any one of these dresses
will see you through a busy Winter
Of social activities with distinction.
You can make these dresses for your
own wardrobe at a fraction of what
you would expect to spend for a dress
so important.
You will also find that these dresses
are wearable for afternoon teas, bridge
luncheons and cocktails. You can
key them to these less formal occa-
sions by your choice of accessories.
A less formal hat, restraint in jewelry,
dark gloves, and you have a perfect
afternoon costume.
Pattern 1420-B gives regal express
sion to the slim silhouette. Shown
here, cut to ankle length. the pattern
is perforated for daytime length
should you prefer it. The long, slen-
der lines of this utterly simple dress
are adaptable to either style The
charming neckline is cut low at front
to emphasize the formality of the
dress The sleeves are long and slim
and straight, perfect background
for brilliant bracelets. This dress
made up in satin or velvet, is as dra-
matte as the low tones of blues
singer. BY keeping the lines starkly
simple and the fabric extremely for
NAL, this dress creates the flatterine
effect you seek.
For the young woman who likes
the vivacious rather than the Ora
matte, pattern 1341-B is wise choice
This dress, designed on the lines o1
the ballerina silhouette, accents the
wasp waistline. The skirt, f1aring
generously toward the hem, looks even
more animated with the fitted, basque
like bodice and the short, puffed

expected to choose between Cleveland
and Buffalo at their annual meeting.
Boston and Los Angeles also were
seeking the berth, but the Cleveland
Rams and the Buffalo club were con-
ceded to hold the inside track.
Cleveland's location would make
that club a logical member of the
circuits Western division, which has
operated with four teams to five for
the Eastern section for the last three

Buffalo will have a huge new sta

Los Angeles plea probably will be
