A new version of the quaint
old-fashioned frock of yesteryear is seen in this gown worn by Ann Loring, Hollywood beauty. It is of maire with a metal print, the background being king's blue and the sprinkled Sgure in gold.

The smartest of the tweed ones are double-breasted with severely tailored revers, padded shoulders, wide stiffened belts and culine-looking buttons.

It was only last year that one of the leading Paris hanses creat- ed an evening costume which was more simple than the formal even- ing gown or even of the dinner frock It was suitable for the theatre as well as for the restaur ant for an elegant reception at the close of the afternoon as well as for the casino, and also for friendly gatherings of an evening which again have become the vogue and which are customarily extend- ed well into the night.
Known As Midnight Suit
This particular dressmaker wish- ed that costumes of this type might be worn as well when walking asị when driving. So he exiled it the "cocktail dress." Enjoying the greatest of success, this type of frock is "now known as the "Mid- might Suit, for only the name has been changed.
