Once you find yourself having a huffet supper in a home where candlelight, a fire on the open hearth and cut flowers all cast romantic atmosphere about you, you will sealize the impurtance of being glamorously gowned for the occasion.

These Sunday night supper dresses are quite in character with such a party. They have dignity, they have imagination, they have rich beauty and grace.

Black is the outstanding color, with ame gold, silver, lace, laine or embroidery touch Sleeves are po original and different in many of these that the saying is quite in order. "You are as smart as your sleeves!”

There are exquisite tureback cuffs on the little short sleeves, made of petalled turquoise chiffon making little flows Ps all around the cuffs.

Instead of having a collar to match, this gown uses a string of clear suquoise blur beads to exactly match the cuffs and a belt buckle of the same clear blus composition. Dark blue suede gloves and dark blue suede and kid shoes and a little lace turban of dask bhie cire lace make this a charming butt IL YOU will be up to your neck in chic

The little plastron yoke of apricot chil fon has its edges scalloped in pale green and blue bends and edged with narrow real val lace. dyed apricot, It has a floral design in the same green and blue bends, used with

yellow ones, several shades of pink and some lavender. It is a delicately colorful yoke, extending out over the shoulder seam in al- most on epaulet manner. There are little brats of sleeves of the velvet, slashed jaunt- ily, with undersleeves of the chiffon, also worked in benda.

III.

IF you want to capitalize the vogue for glamorous sleeves there is a so- phisticated Sunday night suppër dress in green flat crepe that has the loveliest sleeves in the world.

They are made of the new metallic cloth. all kinds of anft pastel colors and a lot of soft silver and gold threads, made into a small floral pattern that is amazingly pleasing and decorative. The sleeves themselves are tight at the shoulder, flowing into a tremen

our puff at the cuff. The green

fat crepe

is made with wing drapes from the shoulder and more from the bipline. The whole frock is one of flowing grace, quite the most weni anly type of garb the winter will see, a gowr to give your sophistication an elegant finiel

IV. IF you are a sophisticate who jus

must be charming and unusual at l tirees, there are lame dotted Sunday nigh frocks that will make your mouth water.

Such a one is a rich brown crepe Roma with gold-embroidered small coin dots in all over but sparse design. It is made with the most unusual scarf sleeves, with the gold dots trailing off from the elbow into two swinging scarfs of the milk. It has body lines and o gold wash that ties in front, after swathing the waistline a couple of times. It has draped skirt and a wide, round neckline and worn with gleaming gold or rich ambe beads it is n wow.

V. IF you happen to have a matronly

figure, or if you want to have that womanly dignity and formality that a ma tronly type of gown gives you, there we many that use lace for the upper part of the bodice in a way to add just the note you want.

One such is a rich wine red velvet, made with a double skirt, slightly draped, and a bodice that has its yoke and entire sleeves made of Alencon lace. The lace joins the wine velvet in bolero line both front and back and is very, very flattering against the neck and face.

The long sleeves have cuffs of the wine velvet, and little bands of it run up to cufl height, on four sides of the arm. A wine

red felt hat, with a chenille crown and trim of matching tone and some of the new bronze

kid slippers are lovely accessories.

Now that entertaining at home

has become quite the smart thing, why not be properly dressed for that Sunday night buffet supper?
