The Easy Attainment Of
Versatility In Dress
Women have long known the value of the skirt and many blouses combination as aids to variety in dress, but the slip dress, in day or evening lengths, worn either with a jacket blouse, is newer and even more useful, since the dress is a com- piéte costume in itself.
cr
Though they are useful to any woman these double-duty dresses scem especially designed as the gift of the gods for the busincas woman who comes in to the city from cut of town and Who is ikely, sometimes, to want a dress to wear to dinners that are not formal enough to warrant the packing and transporting of a Suitcase. They will prove equally useful to the city dweller who must accept a hurried invitation to the suburbs. Also they are in- valuable for the business woman whose hours are so uncertain that she is apt to dásh from the office to her dinner date without benefit of a visit to the source of ..supply.
Sometimes these costumes con- sist of a simple dress, sleeveless And 'opén as to neckline, that may be worn with a jacket or Long-sleeved blouse to the office or to a luncheon, and blossom forth unadorned for cocktails or an informal dinner.
Separate Skirts of Satin
A separate satin skirt will enable the
Blouses to be worn on days when the afternoon dress is not called into play, will. provide a costume just a bit more formal than the one achieved when the blouse is worn with' a sult skirt of Wool-the perfect thing for Sunday luncheon
Another very useful item in the limited wardrobe is a pailletted Jacket or one or gold or silver lame
or rich brocade These may be donned over simply cut evening dresses that need a touch. of brillance for some special oc- caslon, or used to revivity and transform a gown that has lost. fts first freshnesh. Evening Houses "leeveless and with low Cowl necklines may be used" for the same purpose. While some. of these blouses and Jackets are
so cut as to add elegance to the gown, others are of the type that transform it into a dinner dress, making the costume perfect to wear when your hostess neglects to tell you whether the company is dressing or not. You may don the blouse or jacket over your evening gown, and remove it after you arrive if you find the party is to be a formal one.. The evening tunic, new from Paris, is. another method of making possi-. ble a quick change from semi- formal to formal dress.

this salon in the Peninsula arcade because "Etnice" is gra- dually getting her Spring collec-. tion of models together to be shown generally at the end of March, I was privileged to take a peep at them and they are, ás is usual with everything at this salon, priced most conservatively. Evening gowNY as well as day frocks have been styled "on ultra smart lines and in the most ex- citing colours and new shades. One in three shades of cool green particularly

changeable costumes should ap- peat. For the traveller they are a veritable boon. It is a trulsm that the less luggage, the happier the trip, but a truism that cannot be too firmiy impressed upon the. traveller. But while the luggage should be cut down to the very minimum-it should never be cut below the dress requirements of the trip, for while looking after baggage is tiresome, being impro- Lerly dressed for some of the special events of the trip is even more so. Thus the wise woman. planning for a trip, be she on business or on pleasure "bound. tries to crowd variety into a wardrobe that must take up the Icast possible space. For her too, these slip dress and blouse or Jacket costumes are the perfect answer.
