Did you know there was a Spanish influence in evening. dress? You'll see it in the VOGUE gowns always the very latest, the gowns that come to you from Holly wood, bringing to you all the glamour of your favourite stars. One, a gorgeous red crepe with a finely pleated jabot, daringly backless, and to crown the dramatic effect, a separate black net directoire coat. Another, a black velvet with a flare of scarlet pleated petticoat showing at the bottom, a scarlet flower at the neck. Strikingly lovely! And there are others! New after- noon frocks and some that show a Chinese influence! And new stockings too lovely ones Corticelli - in all sizes and in all the latest shades. You'll be visiting "VOGUE!
