For the evening cluthes of this season are easy to select- and easy to wear. They areomate, long, gorgeous and gay. There is slight danger of being over-elaborate, since the styles give carte blanche in this realm.

But daytime clothes are much more difficult. They grant greater length, more formality and muse color than usual, and there is a tendency to take advantage of this generosity.

Just because fashion allows this greater freedom, it does not follow that it is always desirable. The really smart woman alway, impres a certain restraint in her day attire. Even though gold fare, velvet, Lamse and lustrous solins are now regarded as a game for the afternoon, she does not neces parily we them.

Sleeves, Yoke and Bow Tie of Rose Beige Sill Add Color to This Black Afternoon Silk Frock Featuring Even Hemline and High Waistline

in inevitably tailored or very conservatively garbed when seen on the street, and that for general wear she pins her faith to a few well cut, conservative black gowns and dehiever her variety and her contrast by her accessories, millinery or her furs and scarfs.

I. FOR general wear, with silk day frocks, particularly with the all-black day frock, I like this coat of black Lila cloth with the ample fur collar and the fur band on the skirt which takes the smart upward turn.

The fur, which is red fox, gives life and color to the coal and is becoming to youiliful faces, You will notice that the fur is cleverly distributed so that none of it occurs at the wairt- line so that the slender silhouette is achieved and at the same time the garment is lavishly furred.

II. THE sealed model is wearing a black crepe frock with

sleeves, a pointed yoke and a large bow tie of rose beige silk. The waistline is high and the skirt comes well below the knees, but has the even hemline, that is practical under a straight-hemmed coat,

The uneven hemlines that may be so exaggerated and so extreme for evening, must be more restrained for day. The high waistline is not so accented and the color contrasts not so violent.

It is witeit for day occasions never to be overdressed and to select gowns and coats that stress line and good fabric rather than showy effects.

Illustrated today are the types of day dresses and coats,

that the smartest women in New York are buying. They are not extreme, but exceedingly elegant. They are not difft. cult to wear and do not violently alter the silhouette. They are youthful, but not flapperish, and they meet every sartorial demand of the day.

III. THIS tweed ensemble is obviously designed primarily for sports wear. It combines a brown striped tweed coat and yoked skirt, with an overblouse of lace checked jer- sey. The novel feature of the blouse, besides the material and the modernistic design, in the top of brown flat" crepe which finishes in a soft and feminine bow. The fur which bands the coat is of beaver, which harmonizes exquisitely with the browns in the blouse and in the tweed.

Seperate coals for this season show flared skirts, original tecatment of fur, and a clever, manipulation of material.
