Party Frocka

One of the most graceful party frocks I have seen for the fair girl, who would like to be thinner than she is, is made in leaf green chiffon with a cross-over fichu which ties on the left side. Short plain sleeves are alit down the centre; the skirt fits neatly round the hips, but breaks into two platin fours just

above the knees. These are slit at the sides of the skirt to harmonise with the sleeves, and the skirt ends with a soft half way between ankles

and knees.

The tiny sleeves were gauged at the edges too, and tied by a bow which waa matched by the bow at the contre front of the narrow waist- belt. This skirt fitted plainly round the hips too, and had inset panols at each side which added to its fulness without increasing its bulk.
