A very new development of the princess theme is to have the long bolice of an evening gown sequins, velvet or antin with the full skirt flowing from it of fluffy Ince, of 'tulle or of chiffon.

Shown at the left is the latest in- terpretation of this interesing style

an evening gown of white velvet and chiffon, two fabrics Dame Fash- jon approves.

The supple, fine velvet fashions the long bodice, and chiffon the skirt and shoulder straps.

Little crystal tears, surrounded by strass; spill over the gown from shoulder to circular hemline, and where the bodice joins the shoulder yoke and the full skirt a little scroll pattern is outlined in strass.

This gown's rear has a deep bodice that swathes to advantage the figure with no extra curve. Both front and rear decolletage are V-shaped.

Typical of the new flowing lines that evening gowns feature this win- ter in the chartreuse creation in French Ninon at the upper left.

Its double, circular skirt-of tre- mendous fullness-gracefully swings from a medium front length until it hides the silver heels of Milady's slippers. Silver crystals mark a floral outline to the new neck-a de. colletage of the heart-shape that promises great vogue.,

Here we see the fitted long bodice again. And here we encounter a new decorative note, graceful, rugged flowers of uneven petals that full; gracefully from the lower rear nuck- line to the bottom of the bodice.

This is a frock that shows how the finely patterned velvets may be fully as distinctive as plain ones, though the better garments this season leave printed velvet behind.

Here the velvet makes a little cir- cular apron over a velvet circular skirt and edges the outline with little gold bends like those that trace the pattern of fur around the frock.

An example of this is the un- usual way in which natural kelinsky fashions the rippling, pointed fabol collar and shaped cuffs of the bottle green velour coat at the bottom of the page.

The collar points a very deep V down the back, with two shorter ones on either side and then follows the same line in front. The front closing is of fur, which narrowa where it fastens on one side and then fares like a godet at the bottom, Very new and different are the luxurious cuffs which are of fur und round near the elbow in the most astonishing manner.
