The way of clothes,
These items are new:
as to what's what in
1---For evening Milady will wear satin, preferably. 2--For dinner, lace.
3-The correct daytime frock of unusual, type will be transparent velvet, usually in printed pattern,
of
4-Coats favour soft, gentle fabrics,efther appy amooth like becoming duvetyna, veloura, soft. honicapins, broadcloth.
The full skirt is an established fact. Tiers are excellent. The bloused waist over tight hipline is the season's contribution to the silhouette. This brings back to U xirdies, sashes, belts, bows, buckles and corsages,
This is going to be a season of dresay daytime frocks, apparently. The time has passed when a sports suit will do either for a matince party or a tva. One has morning tailleurs, to be sure, But one just must have some supply
of “lady dresses" as the new, fuller, longer skifted frocks of softer line are enlled.
Evening gowns this season show less inclination Lowards the pencark silhouette, with short front and trailing back- line, but will be longer all around and full. Side fullness is likely to be the psychological treatment for extreme chic.
Colours for wear after the electric lights begin to play. seem to give white a good place, with off-white for those who wear it better. Other colours become stronger- as winter draws near and those that prontise to be a corrret choice are golden belge and yellow golden, fen rose ahuden, ` vivid red, sapphire blue, flamingo and a new vivid blue..
At the left centre is shown a Philippe and Gaston evening
"gown of handsome fabrics and smart contrast. It is white satin, black tulle and touches of strass for the shoulder straps,
The decolletage Is Important for, its yoked front with rounded neck and its dipping, V back-line.
This gown has the new bloused waist, the swathed hipline And the new, longer fullness, with regular hemline. The entire front panel is pleated black tulle, over white, which falls from the yoke, is caught by the girdle and flares to fullness thereafter.
The dinner gown in the centre of the page achieves dis- tinctive chic. It is n Lenief model of wide-mesh black and white lace over a sheath "of black ctre. Charmlagly sophisticated in its battéan neckline, with tight, long sleeves, circular skirt with fitted hipline. A rose pink sash slips under the waistline to emerge blended with black satin in a pouf bow, with long ends on one side.

The frocks that will be hard to decide on-because there is such a profusion of them—are the "udy dresses" for day- ́time wear after the hour strikes noon.
Transparent velvets they will be, in all likelihood. And probably printed. Tones in brow run the gamut. But browns are not the only smurt colours. One finds charming' combinations of blues, pinks and greys.
THREE such "lady dresses" are shown on this page. The Bernard model at the lower right is of two tones of brown transparent velvet, a soft golden-belge and dark brown and is fashioned with smart chic. Triangle, square and circular. lines are used together to attain unusual smartness,
The square neckline--a new touch-has, a very long triangular jabot swinging from the left corner of it, that ripples down almost to the full skirt's hemline. Two triangles of dark brown givé.striking coutrast to the lower edge of this jabot, with similar triangles in the bloused front portion of the dress and above the cuffs,
י,
The circular skirt is gathered and the rounding girdle has folds laid in it, all tending to give a graceful and, luxurious aspect.
Another "indy dress"--the one at the extreme centre right →is a blue, grey and rose pattern, of luxurious sheen, and colours that blend to give lavender and rosu hues. It is a 'diatinelly "feminine" frack, with its finely pleaded skirt, Itä bloused waist, its soft sash ends, gathered sleeves and laco touches.
The lace touches are of the finnst needle-thread lavo, pale cream over flesh chiffon. Tiny undercuffa of the lace fall gracefully over the bands from cuffs that fasten with blue pearl buttons,

THE third "lady dress," at the upper right; is a very youthful figured model, of dellente loveliness in its two shades of Liny grey flowers, posed on a 'buckground of white.
Three things are very new about this frock. The tered skirt, scalloped edges, the busque and the flounced Ught sleeve, a quaint and appealing style.
い
All of these scalloped flounces and the basque are lined with white, as is the little collar that enda In a small jabot also with scalloped edges,
Ceats show a wide variety of fur trimming. Lucky the lady who has a beautiful fox nextling around her neck, For fox retains ita popularity.
The cont shown on this page is a Paquin model, of beige- brown kasha-velour with fox dyed to match. Its sleeves are cut in one with the body of the coat, the cuffs roll back in a new and inspiring manner and the fox furs, with their heads In the back, fall loose in front, while the coat buttons up to the neck.
