Dresses for After
HOME of the most delightful evening gowns in the Paris Collections this season are, quite frankly, crinoline
dresses.
Those of you who saw Greta Garbo as the Lady of the Camellias will have a fair idea of what these are like- for that is where the inspiration came from.
Molyneux actually uses the crinoline frames of the period, and one at least of his dresses, in pale green heavy satin, is complete with three-cornered lace shawl, white kid mittens, and tan.
[AGGY ROUFF showed, among others,
EL crinoline
M govn in heavy satin, padded and buttoned all over
like an old-fashioned upholstered chair.
But these,, for practical usé, are, after all, only charm- ing fantasies. For ordinary women like you and me, evening clothes are just as easy to wear as ever they were, as you see from two-in-one the three Papworth has sketched in this puge. The dress is specially good..
TTERE are the most important fashion points to note:
H Lengths. Ground or slipper length (by which I mean
just touching the front of the shoe) or with the skirt very slightly raised in front.
Skirt widths Easy to walk in. Belt- lean princess line. Straight skirts, with all fullness brought to the centre front, Full- ncaa disguised in pleats, Victorian types of skirt. Slim skirts with the variationa of the tunic,

Sleeves A few short sleeves, often in- “geniously done,
Waist-lincs Normal and higher, acca- sionally an experimental law one, and Lan vin's daring double waist-line with one narrow belt where it should be and an other wide contrasting band encircling the hips.

Jackets and wraps form your evening dress into a dinner frock. Short-filling jackets-and blouses (ace sketch). Some longer ones rodingote style. Long transparent,. uet ones, filling full-skirted coats.

APRIL APPETITES
PPETITES are quickened by increasing fresh air and out- door exercise for the good fare provided by this fickle spring month, and all households have the opportunity of more varied food.
