There's pose in the whole fashion
picture this year. A carnival spirit per-
meates 1t, particularly in evening
styles. Fashions are elaborate. Frou-
frou Is ubiquitous. And with it the
smartly dressed woman wears her hair
high and carries her chin up to capture
the individuality that is essential to a
well-dressed look.
Paris designers were never more in
spired than they are this year. Suave
and exquisitely tailored styles use fine
silk crepe, metallics, sheer woods and
sheer velvets. cutting them on form-re-
vealing lines and using pencil-slim
skirts often slashed to the knee at
front and finished with short train at
back. Molyneux did this style to per-
lection in his collection. The tall,
slender woman of aristocratic bearing
will find this flattering foil to poise
and sophistication.
Dinner dresses of this type usually
include a Jacket. making them wear
able for the most formal occasions.
Worn without jacket they are un-
surpassed as background dress for
favorite jewels. In a recent fashion
preview. one mannequin in a dress of
this type wore a cockade of feathers
like an egret in her hair and a fiat
collar of jewels. The stark simplicity
OF her costume took these conceits
beautifully

Corsage This Season
Needs Originality
TOHave Charm.

A season of pltra-femininity Is upon
us. Surely then, nothing could be
more important than accessories to
help you gain that dainty, fragile ap-
pearance-and nothing is more inn
portant in the accessory line than
flowers.
For evening especially, flowers are
Of the utmost Importance. The new
gowns almost call for an accompani-
ment Of this kind, 50 give a subtle hint
to the best beau and present him with
few ideas for a corsage. He may
return the favor by presenting you
with the corsage.
Florists tell us that they are still
making more orchid and gardenia
corsages than any other type, but the
gentleman with whom we spoke in
formed us that the old fashioned bou-
quets-"colonial' he calls them-are
increasingly popular. These are often
made up with the tiny sweetheart roses
and lilies of the valley or palest pastel
pom-poms and lilies of the valley. A
splendid idea for dainty corsage is
to have the florist take spray Of pale
gladiola and insert in each flower a
harmonizing rosebud. You'd be sur
prised how attractive it is. Use a little
originality in your flowers this season.
have them done up in hand bouquet
with white lace-paper frills, or If you
can manage it, arrange with layers and
layers of white tulle and ribbons. They
are so attractive with the old-fash-
ioned gowns we have taken to so read.
lily.
And here are few hints to the mod
ern girl. Don't angle for flowers. Men
don't like to be asked to send you some
but there's no harm in mentioning
the color of the dress you're going to
wear And by all means if the best
beau asks what gown you're planning
to wear, tell him. If you don't, he'll
probably send you pink roses to go with
your best purple gown If gentlemen
would only realize it, they make their
biggest "hit" when the florists boy
rings the doorbell. So if he is a bit
forgetful, you might leave this where
he can find tt-accidentally on pur-
pose.

Slenderizing Lines
Best Gained With
Dull Fabrics.

In a season when fashion demands
the hourglass figure and wasp waist
line, the larger woman must look care
fully to her figure. If she wants to
create the illusion of slimness there
are many tricks to be tried, and de-
signers are working with her to
achieve the slim, young silhouette.
Details Of the new gowns are very
important to the larger woman, and
careful consideration of all parts of her
dress Is vital
Take the matter Of ornaments, for
instance. Jewel embroidery is popu-
lar as trimming for afternoon gowns,
and it does wonders when properly
used to accent the shoulders and
minimize the waistline. Correct use
of trimming is helpful in this in
stance in making the shoulders appear
higher and the hips less conspicuous.
The lifted waistline is another aid
to women with full bosom. A shirred
bodice-one of the newest fashions
and a v neckline give the illusion
of length to the neck and the conse-
quent appearance Of slimness. The
stouter woman may try the new up
swept hair styles. too, for they give
the throat an extreme slenderness.
Dull fabrics are important, and it is
wise to avoid all shiny surfaces, for
they make the figure look stouter and
more conspicuous. Flat, smooth rayon
crepe is an excellent material, and too
much surface detail in a fabric is to
be avoided.
Three-quarter-length sleeves are
helpful, for they give 6 tapering effect
to the arm and make it seem much
| simmer. Be sure to shy away from
puffy sleeves and the leg-o-mutton
variety, which are fatal to the pound
age
For evening the bolero cut just be-
low the bustline helps to minimize
the waist One of the most suitable
fabrics is lace, and for very formal oc-
casions there are lace gowns embroid-
cred with metal threads that are ex-
tremely attractive.
If you are tired of black-although
it is the safest and smartest color
there are new shades of violet, black
berry and brown that are not inclined
to make women look stouter. How
ever, it Is wise to match your colors
carefully and stay strictly away from
whites and pastels If you want to look
slim.

Mrs. Wilson Lee. chairman Of the
luncheon for the Community Chest
League, was very striking in her red
costume when we saw her the other day
The dress Of wool, had a self-material
jacket, made hip-length and with long
sleeves. The jacket was fitted in at

front with two rows of buttons to give
q double-breasted look. There was q
slight flare at the waist line and the
sleeves, which were long and tight,
had a little gathering just at the
shoulder line. The skirt was made
with single kick pleat in the front.
Mrs Hines wore a smart brown felt
hat, high crowned and brimmed in
front. A tiny nose veil was caught
at the back of the hat in a small bow.

matched that of the handbag and
gloves; q sable scarf and corsage Of

had . straight skirt. It's blouse was
the center of interest, having an un-
usual peaked neckline, resembling very
closely a gentleman's winged collar.
Mrs. Lee wore an interesting brooch
fashioned of onyx, with a wreath Of
gold laurel leaves encircling it and a
head of George Washington in gold
in the middle. There were, according
to Mrs. Lee, originally six of these
brooches, but this is the only one
whose existence is now known. Mrs.
Lees accessories we're black, and her
hat was high-crowned veiled felt
with brim up in back and down in

by large mesh veil, which Mrs Davis

A bright touch of color was given by

sleeves were puffed at the top to give
q wide shoulder effect, and the skirt
was made very full, and quite short.
The blouse was of white silk, styled
along peasant lines with gathered neck
and full sleeves. Mrs. Woodring wore

beautifully with her blond hair. She

Novel Production
At Kin9.Smith.

THERE is, of course, the remote pos
sibility that some group of young
thespians in the Capital is plotting
something breathtaking in stage en-
tertainment, but it will have to rise
far above it's established standard to
eclipse the work of Keinert Wolff and
his talented charges of the King-Smith
Playhouse. Since Mr.. Wolff arrived on
the scene the productions offered down
in the Rock Creek Valley have repre-
sented the best items to appear on the
local amateur theater scene in more
than a few moons.
Last evening it was Penny Wise"
Jean Ferguson Blacks comedy Of a
playwright, his two eX-girl friends, his
current interest and his wife who
come together in one house and nave
fine time. Mr. Wolff has staged the
piece in the center of the floor with
the spectators arrayed on three sides
and the Playhouse stairs forming part
of the ''set" It is novel theater,
something which seems to be one of
the directors chief interests, and Mr..
Wolff has made of it most effective
theater. The presentation viewed last
night ranked close to the top for sheer
entertainment among the amateur ef-
forts of recent years.
1t should be stated to the credit of
the players collectively that they
adapted themselves in remarkable
fashion to the unusual mode of stag
ing. All performers were comfortable
to all appearances with the audience
almost encircling them, all played with
ebullience. Francia Holiday offered
the outstanding Characterization, that
of the flighty wife who manages to
hold her husband against three femi-
nine onslaughts but not by her de-
sign. Miss Holiday was cast superbly
in this talkative part. She fitted about
delightfully."-, did not stumble at the
foot or tongue, employed mobile fea-
lures to fine advantage.
She was outstanding only by a little
bit, however, and equal merit and
space requirements compel the group
ing of Lamar Rowland, Judith Owen,
Evelyn Crumo, Jack Taylor, Barbara
Ann Thompson and Frances Reeves
under the general heading of people
who did their jobs very well, made the
production, which will be repeated to-
night and tomorrow night, something
deserving the highest in praise and

THAT bright musically and romanti.
: cally endowed satire on gangstel

the Little Theater Sunday for re-
vival engagement. This. you no doubt
remember is the picture which pre-
sents Leo Garlic as Mexican outlaw
with a sensitive soul, who decides to
inject "big-time" methods into his
outlawry after he sees few American
underworld films. In addition to Mr.
