With the coming of the summer season which so often gives marked attention to the fluttering chiffon frock, the formal gown of shimmer- ing fabric gains an appeal of indivi-- duality.
The golden gown has long been popularly chosen by the debutante Age. It now demands special at- tention because of its simplicity of line and detail. There is a note of youth in the formal gown selected by Dorothy Mackall in a scene from the First National 5lm, "The Misa Mac- Road to Romance." kaill's blond loveliness is at its best of golden in this shining gown appeal.
A very straight silhouette haal

As a matter of fact, it is in one piece but the bodice, cut long, is stitched in cir- cular outline so na to give the ap-. pearance of jumper. The skirt is very finely pleated and gives pleasing fullness at the slightly ruf- fled hem.

Jean Arthur, in a formal scene in First National's "The Poor Nut," has selected a chiffon gown of dia- tinctly youthful ifnes that uses crystal embroidery in pleasing pat- terns to distinguish it. It has the long waistline, uneven hemline and gracefully swaying effect that is ao much to be desired. A huge flower is worn at the shoulder and this flower proves the Paris edict that if a flower be worn at all it should reach huge proportions.
In many of the elaborately de- signed evening gowns there is an Oriental note. This influence is seen in both colouring and fabric as well as line. It should only be affected by the person whose type permits this Oriental note.
For the sophisticated person the draped and smartly cut satin gown that relies entirely upon the sub- tlety of its lines is a wise, selec- tion. Here an unusual shoulder fastening a hip ornament, a fringed effect at unexpected places or colour that is unusual marks its charm.
The robe de style that is having its always important place in the evening mode appears more elab- erately beautiful than ever, and is perfectly suited to the slender type who wears her clothes with dis-
tinction.
