[BY" EVE."]

Lane, Crawford's, Evening clothes have an irresistible fascination for a woman, and there is now little excuse for her if she does not make the best of herself as fashionis

Dorothy Sebastian, preuy, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer-player, wears this bow-trimmed dress in a soft blus silk, erë pen

for the neck and yolk, and a wide band of this trimming looks very effective down the back. One strand is worked in the form of a girdle; others are placed to give the moulded hipline graceful long lines. Peach taffeta is used for an other model; this is embroidered all over with tiny bunches of pastel coloured flowers.

Pioneers have just received n very large shipment of the most delight- ful underwear. Made of crêpe de chine, radium wilk and satin, they are richly hand-embroidered in many lovely and original designs The girl who loves colours will adore the dainty printed pyjama suits in crêpe de chine. Volvet is so much in the limelight just now. aud many beautiful examples of | panae, ring and chiffon velvet can be seen at Pioneers Printed silks in all colours are also in profusion and the new fancy silks are just the thing for the cooler weather. The new display of " Kayser" 88X stockings of extra fine quality is positively fascinating.

FORMAL AFTERNOON

FROCKS.

Just to illustrate the diversity of the made (wo-hardly know where to begin, there are so many glorify- ing styles) There's the black dross with the draped neckline and flaring sleeve, softly faced in pastel-the blackent velvet with wool- dainty lace vesteo,

and scalloped flare on the slcove→→ there's the snugly Stted frock made in dull satin, which has curving ing Berta starting at the bodioc, and continuing in box pleats to the very hem. There's the poplum dress which, not as stiff as the first few ware, uses softly inverted pleats to give it greater width, and suggceta similarly flaring treatment at hom and collar line. Black is really out- standing for the formal afternoon mode, though dark brown is con- tinually gaining in popularity; Navy, deep green garnet, red, and blue-fox aro largely used too, with the honours for trimming shared by pastel shades and lingerie touches.

Considerable interest is being de voted to the use of fringe, which, until now has been retained for formal evening gowns. It is effec tive in afternoon frocks, as well. and serves to emphasize the slim silhouette with its awaying motion. When fringe is employed for the greater part of a skirt, its suggça- tion is frequently complemented by slashed strips of fabric for collar and cuff. effected-a youthful and unusual innovation.

The belt has been a much booted question, and the Parisian autbo rities have finally decided to accept it only at the normal waistline, and ignoro ather possibilities. They make one concession in permitting it to extend from the waist in B gypsy-girdle offect to the hip. This is a style for the slender figure only. and an effective one. Other in- teresting tricks played witch' bolts are to have them come from centre, front and back, tying at the side- ia the front only with a centred buckle or drawn from soft side shirrings, and tied with a floppy bow at the centro back. The belts are most frequently of self-fabric,

Maison Marnas has a very fine collection of evening and afternoon Paris models, and the woman who profera a French model can see as many of these as she pleases. Two of the most attractive evening dresses are deep rose-pink janne valvet, with long skirts," cut with wide flares, which sweep the ground. These gowns are out with a view to emphasising the graceful lines of a slim figure.
