The novelty of the season is the Ince afternoon gown.. With styles generally so strongly inclined to the ultra-feminine, it la not surprising that such a dainty medium as lace has come into its own again. Undaunted by the general trade depression, the French Ince manufacturers have never before offered such a choice of novel ideas and every couturier has taken advantage of this opportunity.

It is carried out in shadow tulle that looks like applications of mousseline at a distance. The dress fits the figure closely 'woll below the hips where a rather wide Bounee is attached. Four rows of fat tulle ruching decorate the hem of the skirt, which stops well. above the ankle. The top of the dress is composed of a tulle yoke with a transparent effect, slightly decollete in a square both front and back. Over this is worn short, straight holera with moderately wide sleeves. A formal hat of velvet trinimed with ancurled ostrich plumes completed the ensemble, which could be worn under an afternoon coat of cloth trimmed with far or a far pont.
Without the bolero,, the dress is sufficiently dressy for an informal dinner. party.
Couturiers Avaff Selves of Varled Laces,
Worth has an afternoon two-piece gown of wilk and cotton face in a pastel pink and Lelong shows one in the new midnight blue and two in dark brown. Patou has one in the new caroub brown.
Another of Butter's novelties is his Angel-skin Ince, dull surfaced pattern. St another is his "velvet" face, all silk, that looks like embossed velvet.
Wool faces in minute modernistic floral designs are used for informal afternoon frocks but more especially for blouses, sweaters and, in the larger patterns, for contrasting cuffs and collars on dark dresses.
Many informal evening gowns are fashioned of lace and tulles combined of two-coloured laces. Worth has one very successful model in a fine black lace with an emerald green lace yoke, sleeves and deep scalloped band hemming the skirt.
Jenny has an interesting collection of afternoon gowns com. bining crepe de chine and Ince, the latter introduced in the form of encrustations in the bodice in the form of transparent yakes, bows and intricate insertions.
Lave is an ideal fabric for the young as well as the alder women. A black lace dress is always an asset. It wears well, seldom gets tired-looking and does not get old-fashioned as quickly as the more fashionable silks and velvets,
