LADIES SALON.
To the majority of us, the question of evening gowns is one that cannot lightly be dismissed and the fact that there are so many interesting styles to choose among makes the business a more complicated one,
Dance frocks are luxuries and "have to be carefully thought out, for some frocks can look lovely on their first or second appear- ance, but to live through a whole dance season without showing signs of tiredness is another sGIF,
If you are a one-evening frock girl choose warily. Don't goin for advanced styles, or materials that crease or "have an inclina- tion to show marks; also choose a frock that is not too obviously full dress.
Graceful Skirts
There is little variation in the shape of the skirts. They are. long and fit slimly over the hips, but from the knee down below out into graceful lines.
The one with the black skirt and little chemise top with loops of black over the upper arm is perhaps my favourite."
It is, maybe, not, so girlish as the blue and silver plaid, trock". next to it, which has a blue vel- vet sash and cape coller, but it is very graceful, and I could im- agine a mother and daughter or elder and younger sister..mering a very charming arrival in these two designs.
The spotted frock may be a patterned satin or even a decked velvet if planned for the dinner or reception, when it is not de- sired to look too “eveningy.”
With Its graceful, deep, sloping shoulder line and contrasting belt, knotted rather low in the waist, it is an admirable choice: for a tall girl. ̧

THE RETURN OF THE PICTURE FROCK
The picture dress has come back and a girl can wear. It in gay colours, while a woman of mature years can have it in plain or shot taffetas, faille, or moire.
Maggy Rouff is a mistress of the new pleture dress and her latest notion is to make it in stiff allk or cotton, red and white.ör blije and white check, like window `cur- tains in a Normandy or Brittany Inn. With it she puts a polished, starched white linen collar. The back of the bodice is cut low, the front is only slightly open at the neck. The skirt is circular, with more fullness at the sides than at the back and front."
This wide skirt fashion, is car- ried further in the redingote coat with its wide fare at the hem, It is worn over a skirt with very slim hem and is more or less three- quarter length. Slanting pockets give it style and there may be decorative fastenings such as braid frogs, ornamental buttons and ther like. Bleeves widen above the elbow, leaving the shoulders smoothly turned,
Fashion always has a reason One of the reasons why the picture dress, or robe de style, is again fashionable is that the petticoat is gelig, advocated by lovers of fine lingerie. The “nëw petticoat is made with a fitting hip line and has a full trulěd hem which may be very soft or crispy according to the material med for the dress which goes over

The slim dress with a long skirt and shattered hem line is worn in late afternoon and as formal dinner parties. It has no train. At formal parties the train is usual.

Another thing, which bath mil- Ineds and dressmakers ate doing is to use stitching and quilting as trimming. Stitching is the trim- ming a la mode. Stitched lines trim a coat, give armness to a hat made of material, either to the brim or the crown, or both. Quilting is just as popular,
