If we took proper care of our clothes we would undoubtedly be the smartest women in the world.

As it is, French women hold that distinction. And they hold it simply because they know how to take care of their clothes.

I told you last week that The Attic is holding a Christmas sale, during which all their most at- tractive stock is being offered at very advantageous prices. Evening dresses run from 830 and there are two or three very smart hats which are marked as low as 85.

A graceful line distinguishes an evening frock of pale apple green ainou. The bodice is cut on the filling lines of a robe de style with a fairly low waist The long full skirt flares out prettily at the hein with the rhythmic backward move- ment which Lelong introduced so successfully a short time ngo. A graceful scarf fastened on the back of either shoulder is tied between the shoulder blades and, developes into i semi-train, accentuating the backward movement. Another winan frack of pale apricot colour has a skirt set with flared frills which is cut up somewhat in front and reaches the ankles behind. Very smart and new is a black evening dreas of spot net with godets and sash of ginn. Net, just reintro. duced by Augustabernard is one of the very smartest materials for evening wear this season, especially for young girls, and for informal
