ORIGINAL EVENING

FROCKS.

St. Andrew's Ball, and the frocks which we intend to wear for it. are probably the chief topic of, feminine conversation just now, 50- it is not inappropriate to devote a part of the first column of this pug-given up to frills and frivolities-to the discussion of some of the charming and original evening gowns which I saw at The Artic.

Since I have started by calling these frocks"original" let me tell you first about one which must truly deserves this adjective, and is at the same time among the very prettiest. It is made of taffetas with a short fitting bodies and a long skirt, ankle length at the back. The top is pale yellow while the

full skirt is made of bands, of un- even widths, of pale yellow, pale, green and pink. The description sounds rather like that of a Neapo litan ice cream, but the effect" is charming.

For the girl who likes a fluffy frock is one of pink satin having a very full over skirt of silk net. The hip line is interesting and very slenderising and, a stitched belt gives the important suggestion of a normal waist.

Extremely chic is a gown of black ring velvet with a wonderfally cut circular skirt which falls into clever folds in front. The long line is emphasised by pendant panel from one shoulder, and the severity lightened by a touch of very good strass embroidery" on the shoulder

A very becoming frock" for a younger girl is carried our in madonna Elur georgette. It is cut on princess, fines and the whole. dress is made in about inch wide tucks, A tuck of a darker blue indicates a fairly high waist line. and running slightly up in front

gives emphasis to the youthful line.

I saw, too, one perfectly delight-

lavening coat of pinky floral Frendy made with low set fritl which gives the rythmic backward line, and graerful bell sleeves,

The theme of bats, and a woun iarly as old as that which Homer chose and yet, to wonen at least, it never stales. I need usk no apology then, for taking my women readers oner more into the SALE OF SMART GOWNS. Delly Vardon Hat Shop.

A big shipment of hits is expect- ed on Monday, but there is a wide éhoice of very desirable models still to be found on the shelse. The new cucnk brown shades, which are so fashionable this winter are well re-

presented in a variety of smart shapes in felt. Most of them have the long back but there are a few, with a small brim of the favourite etoche persuasion. The deeper wine red shades are also very good this Benson, and I saw a gool collection of bats in these colours. Black is, as I predicted, having a big vogue, and there is a fairly wide range of tan and grey beiges.

is one in a heavy weight, crepe de Among the models from New York chine in charteuse green. It is cut with a fitting bodice and a long skirt; which dips slightly at the back. A little shirring round the hip line and a big bustle bow set at the back of the left hip provides all the necessary trimming. Raf- fling Mines are introduced into an apparently simple dress of deep gold crêpe de chine also from New York. A diamond shaped piece Jet into the bodice, back and front, developes, at the back, into a bustle bow with long ends giving the sug gestion of a train, and in front into a cleverly cut hip yoke. Pink taille is used for a very charming dress with a full three tiered skirt. which is cut long at the back and up in front. An interesting trim- ming is the necklace of atrass which falls to below the waist, crossing the nape of the neck well above the deep U of the corsage. Like the other American models this frock is cut with the neck line con- siderably lower at the back than the front.

Among the French frocks is a very slender little dress of orchid silk net with lace insertions. It has a very long skirt and the neck is finished with a demure looking. fichu. Another French gown is of palma violet georgette over a full slip of taffetus in the same shade. The skirt is, of course, lang and full, and has appliqué round the hem pieces of erfpe de chine, satin and taffetas in graded shades of violet. A big bustle bow of the same three materials is posed be hind the left hip. A black panne velvet gown has a yoke of pink Ince over which runs a scalloped of the velvet in front, run- bib ning down to the waist behind.

A gift that any woman would xo- preciate this Christmas-a cushion. You will find a lovely selection at various prices at Whiteaway, Laid- Law's.
