EVENING WEAR IS INDIVIDUAL

Variety may not be a synonym for individuality, but without the former there would be nothing of the latter in fashion. And since It is in the evening mode that we find the beginnings of other modes to come, it is there we look first in an effort to express the best of our sartorial possibilities. In fabric, colour and line the newest models show an amazing difference of opinion, and of effect,

The moulded hip line, often pointing down in back as though a triangle scarf were swathed about the hips, is a real favourite, and for certain figures there is becoming- ness in a bodice that is bloused a bit—not too much! The trus princesse line is uota generally becoming one, for we have yielded too long to the full-waisted corset. But when it can be worn it in effective. It has the added value of being now.

There seems to be no limit to trimming treatments that give the impression of movement, and scarfs, panels, ruffles, tiers and capes adorn the waist of the model, these applied details carry- ing, out ́a similar treatment on the skirt.
