T

is to be a winter of polite gentleness in epstuming. From the boudoir to the ballroom, graceful, pliable materials are the choice of the woman of taste.

Velvet and fur are especially popular this season, as are satins, soft laces and woollens.

Colours are in keeping with the soft modes, the pastel shades of deeper tone being much in vogue. Petunia, morning glory and fuchsia vie with beige and Algerian brown and with gorgeous reda and blues.

Jean Patou takes panne velvet in a new rich blue to give swaying side panels to the tile blue felt hat at the top of the page. Its eut is tremendously graceful and becoming. By the joining of intricately shaped portions, this fille hat fits the head snugly and yet has its sides droop well over the ears while its back line hugs the neck and the front portion off one side of the forehead in the approved manner.

Vionnet chooses rayon velvet for the smart, new evening wrap at the lower right. This is designed to top the irregular hem-lined-evening gown. This transparent rayon velvet is of the richest royal purple hue, lined with a lovely rose. Its diamond-shaped · yoke from which,pointed godets fall is a new note in hiplines.

The front is shorter, but still of somewhat langer line than the summer called for. Rich ermine collar8 it and long scarf ends of the velvet are joined to the collar in dat bows.

FOR sumpintus winter boudoir wear, transparent velvet and mousseline de soic, In coral pink, jahu hands in the new pyjama suil at the lower left. The Jong, flaring coat is new, and so is its chenille trimming that works out a gleaming, colourful design. around its fronts, its pockets, armholes and across a back yoke,

Quite as new In the Elon rollar, jabot and ́frilled cuffs of the matching mousseline de soie blouse. It tacks in, in the new way, too..

New for its colour, which is bright red, and for Its cut and decoration in the lace evening gown at the upper right. Its red proves the good taste women -of vivid personality have in choosing this tone. For ·

it is that clear, enhancing red that sets off the brunette to equal advantage,

An entirely new note in fluffiness is the bouffant. effect achieved on one side by ruffled tiers of the luce, with the edges backed by horsehair braid to give them Jauntiness. The other two-thirds of the skirt is very full, long and circular. ' Biere wa' see the new swaying hemline that dips on one side as well as in the back.

The bodice of this gown is fitted, with a heart- shaped deenlletage in front and one of the very low

I

culs in the rear. A wide band of.velvet ribbon tucks under the first tier on one side and girdles the waistline, ending in a bow with streamers in the back, NO single garment this winter will illustrate the

changing modes and the trend towards extreme softness and femininacy as well as the little runabout freck.

Individuality of style, gracefulness and sofliess

of texture must be characteristics of any little run- "about frock that meets the approval of Milady these

days.

Such a little frock is shown at the top centre. It is a new petunia soft worsted frock, with seamings, bandings and elgings of the softest of gleaming 'satin in a beige tone,

This frock's lines are superb. The gored skirt fita smartly like a princess garment over the hips, while the girlish-looking blouse has some fulness above the waistline.

The collar is a modified little eailor collar, with rectangular ends hanging. One stripe of the belge runs down the front, around the snug cuffs and ful} skirt at hemline,

The little hat that tops this is the last word in Parisian headgear, a Marcelle' Lely creation. It is petunia-coloured felt, with a little visor effect of matching velvet and a velvet touch in its jaunty little bow.

THOUGH the styles mentioned so far are single garments or huls, the ensemble stili sways the world with its popularity. Here, too, we find furs, soft fabrics and gorgeous lines.

Jenny-a marvel when it comes to making youthful modes-uses black satin cloth for the very young looking ensemble' at the upper left. This has summer ermine for its trim,

This afternoon ensemble has a semi-princess frock of beige, the colour of summer ermine, with its two-tiered skirt edged in black and black incrusta tions decorating it.

The coat reverses the order, and is black, lined and decorated in belge. An original jabot movement in front is piped with summer ermine, the first time such lavish fur is used so subordinately, Thon summer ermine fashions a little tight scarf that tles in a bowknot under one car.

There is originality, too, In the huge cuffs of summer .ermine which dross up this ensemble and make of very formal little thing.

The awaying back hemline also suggests the formality of occasion to which it properly could ba

worn.

A very soft brimmed little hat of black fine velours tops this costume, accenting by fts simplicity the dressiness of the ensemble.
