THIS This is a
lively, season, from a fashion point of view. Things are
ing of clothes is undergoing a revolution.
These are the days when a cautious woman wonders which way to turn. She has been so rpoiled in the past few years when fashions were almost static. She could be so sure of herself. Now she must make her mind, which of many different types of costume are for her." One thing is certain all clothes purchased before this season are dated. There seems on other way but to cast all overboard and take. a new start, hoping that out of the maze of bows, ruffles, long skirts. and high waistlines, some becoming costumes may be developed.
And such magnificence, too. Such marvelnus materiale, such glam- ous textiles, such expensive furs-and such a feeling of luxury and opulence This year one must tlep forth and shine!
AND speaking of shining, don't overlook the marvelous new heavy taffelas, brocades and moires that have the old-fashioned authori- tative lock. And don't neglect the lames, the gold and silver lissue ma- terials, and the velvets with so vivid a sheen, and the high luster satins, And don't forget the new jewelry of barbaric, splendor and the crystal patic ornaments that are so definitely of the mode.
you are not naturally a shining light, Fashion has made it pos sible for you to be.
Illustrated today are typical costumes for all hours of the day, with this new feeling of formality and femininity.
I.. A WHITE evening gown that has much originality as well as much of the traditional, is the model from Bernard and Co. The material is white mousseline de soic embroidered in silver pailettes and banded at the waistline, hips and shoulders with pailettes of a juby tint. This serves to accentuale the tight effect across the hips and the denderness of the waistline. An interesting note is introduced in the hemline of transparent material in the front and back.
II. THIS very chic and ultra formal afternoon ensemble has been created by Meademoiselles de Saint-Clair, Hele is a happy union of black figured velvet, heavy white satin and regal-ermine the ermine
used lavishly..on the high, standing, collar and on the edges of the cuffx. This is one of the smartest lengths in coats, being just above the knees, The white satin blouse, embroidered discreetly at the V neckline, is a tuck-in model and is extremely smart with its long, close-fitting sleeves. It partakes of that femininity which is the keynote of winter styles.

III. MESDEMOISELLES, DE SAINT-CLAIR has further
demonstrated the ability to create glamour in this magnificent" evening coat where considerable while dox it used on a coat of silver Jame cloth in an entirely original sort of a waye
The long point in the back, outlined with the fur which works up- ward, the fluffy collar and the ample cuffs are all puffy white fox, and combined with the silver sheen of the material they give a regular snow queen effect. On just the right stately brunet or perfect blond, this coat could fear no competition at any formal evening eves!.
IV. ANOTHER ensemble from Mesdemoiselles de Saint-Clair is developed in black satin and cloth, and shows a marvellous gown of cloth and satin, using the satin for most of the skirt and the ingenious band that defines the normal waistline. The square-cut neck- line is filled in with heavy white satin, which is repeated on the cuff of the long and very close-fitting sleeves. The three-quarter length coal is made of the cloth, lined with white satin and trimmed with a wide collar of white ermine.
It does take the French couturiers to make black and white seem the most amazing color scheme in the world, and to make it chic and ex- pensive looking,
V. AND because life is not always adapted to formal attire, we include the smart Rugby sport suit from Worth, which asserts that it can be practical as well as smart, and will be equally servicable in the city or in the country.
The skirt is of a brown, beige, gray and red tweed mixture, and the cardigan jacket is of red wool, with a belt of deep beige. The blouse, with its tucks and its fine pleating, is made of beige crepe and the stunning scarf is a modernistic affair of red, gray and beige.
