THE EVENING ENSEMBLE

_____

Every fashionable dance frock, nowadays, is part of a two-plece. A coat or a cape invariably accom- " panies the gown, and, no matter which is chosen, it must match it sufficiently to give the effect of an ensemble. There is no question. this seastu, of a little lame coat in silver or gold doing duty with two of three dresses A chiffon gown should have its chiffon cape, and a crepe satin gown its short, full coat of similar material. All "patch- work effects are definitely taboo. As taffetas is so fashionable for evening wear the matching wrap is almost a hecessity-it would be attle difficult to ally it with, any. other fabric

CREPE TAFFETAS

In addition to the new shot taletas the manufactures have evolved one with a crepe-like sur- face, emphasizing the fact, that smooth-faced materials are not anding a great deal of favour just now. The taffetas surface weaving takes the form of a somewhat irra gular honeycomb effect, and this is unusually lovely in a picture gown

Crepe satins have giver lines woven into them to provide the necessary uneven surface. The charm of silver threaded' through; deilcute tones of bige and green may be imagined, but it is also particularly lovely with the new pink and deep rose shades These list-named are heatió es fashion- able as gold for dance dresses, and anong the dinner gowns of fine black lace which have been shown so much during the last few weeks

three out of every six have a foun dation of pale rose pink. Usually this foundation Is composed f chiffon, and the filmy effect of the lace patterning over so delicate a tint and so soft a material is de lightful

I am impressed with the latest evening ensembles in cornflower · effects. Pale cornflower was the shade of a sweet little dinner frock with a rash of deep blue; to "this was added' the graceful threequarter length Imp slim cost, all in the darker tone.

Both the London and Paris fashion houses show much black, but there is a tendency to stress a colour note with it, such as

coral, cornflower, and a very vio- lent green or scarlet. Ratner a dull tone in apricot, with white, Is another charming alliance.

DUCHESS OF KENT

Leads Ascots Fashion

Gold Cup Day at Ascot is the world's most fashionable dress parade, but to-day the parade was at times obscured by mac- Kintoshes.

The green, lawns were Gram- pled into a mire of muddy grass on which moved a multitude of black umbrellas, grey toppers and hundreds of mackintoshes.

The Royal Enclosure was prac tically empty and most people kept in the grandstand.

Yet, not even wind and rain can destroy the principal reason for Ascot, which is to predict the fashions of the coming year.

Women fcoled the weather by holding their pride in the covered shelter which leads to the grandstand. There mackin- toshes were shed between races, and women's elaborate dresses, pink, blue; white, were displayed In comfort

The tall Duchess of Kent, Eng- land's new leader o; fashion, in the most striking clothes I have yet seen her wear. Her hat as usual was the most arresting part of her dress scheme. With giant brim of dark nigger tubular straw, it rode at an angle of sixty degrees on the left side of her head Two long cockeret plumes accentuated the back- ward sweep of the brim

The rest of her clothes were starkly simple. A coat, trimmed with heavy fox fur, ended be low her ups. A single string of ner throat, dark #pearis "round

The most noticeable features everywhere were the Marina fashions.
