Ae Afternoon Black Velvet

Takes a Suggestion of Ecru Lace for Frinning. Its French Subtleties Are Revealed Here in Sketch and Photograph.

THERE are an dull seasons, sartorially

Trucak, in the smart woman's year. She

is ever alert for the first manifestations of

a new vogue. Her eye is so trained that it catches every detail, and her mind is so alest that she sees a trend and accepts it before it is recognized by the less style-conscious woman.

This is the time to look forward, to study the new lines, materials and colors, and to buy with eyes on the future rather than upon the estab

ished summer modes. Remember there is no rest for the really smart woman.

The waistline is rising--have no doubt about that, and in many instances it is calling attention En its exalted position and making that the fea ture of the gown.

Skirls are longer-even thuse for sport and for street now cover the kure and give no sense of abrupi abbreviation. The for afternoon are considerably longer-usually in the back or ́on one side, and thate for evening may troil all

over the floor before the winter is over.

The circular cut is very much featured in skirts, because it achieves that easy, graceful lipe that is so very desirable. Intricate cuts, old Redet effects, rippling tiers, and alternated plain, and pleated sections are also mast. And don't forget that the peplum is making an appeal for fashionable recognition.

The gowns pictured here were selected by May Walls, New York couturier, as being in- portant and significant French interpretations of the newest trends in clother..

I. A NEW type of velvet, which shows a check of velvet and georgette crepe in royal blue and pinkish beige, is used to excellent ad- vantage in this Paris model, with the bows and the scarf cut in one with the blouse. The bows and scarf ate lined with crepe to match the light chuck.

II. RADICALLY new in this evening gown from 'Augusta Bernard, with its long train cut in two deep scallops. The plain portion of the gown is deftly manipulated with geometrical folds, and the Bounce is extremely circular in cul, The material is most seductive-a white and silver brocade that has weight and takes beauti ful folde, but has absolutely no stiffness. III. THE type of suit that is going into the

Berkshires and into the smart mountain resort this fall is this model of basket weave in a soft, light green, with a pleated skirt, a fairly

Effective Hues

Add Distinction

To This Picturesque Evening Gown

With Bodice and Upper Shirt in White Satin And Three Flounces in Varying Shades Creen,

long coat with horizontal folds, and a crepe de chine blouse, to match. A gay south is added in the scarf which comes in two shades, a brown and a gay Chinese red. A modernistic buckle af. Chinese red fastens the belt of the blouse.

IV. NO ONE can ever wonder at the pop

ularity of black velvet after seeing this delightful afternoon model from Blanche Le Bouvier, with the chic peplum, and just a sug- gestion of fine ecru face, applied in the discreet French fashion. The bow at the waistline in font, and the tiny buckle of brilliants at the back, proclaim the French genius,

V HERE the color effect is more original than the line. The bodice and upper sec. tion of this skirt are of heavy white satin. The three Bounces are of three different shades of green, shading from 'a fairly deep green lace with a bold white figure, to a medium green shadow Ince, and a hem of very light green tulle that is almost yellow. Around the oval neckline is a tiny yoke of green face, and a fold of green pame velvet. Four fascinating white satin flowers with green centers form the coreage at the hips.

VI. THIS churning model in yellow tulle from Cheruit would add dignity to a youthful wearer. It features a very full and ir regular skirt, a simple bodice with a becoming V neckline, and a marvelous ath of green, gold and a dull rose color. Here is the natural waist- line, and the very smart treatment of tulle, flat. rather then fluffy like a ballet dancer.
