ric la so form-fitted and therefore utterly devold of suppleness that it is nothing more or less than a sheath.

Sheath Alone Insufficient

It is true that.one of the char- actéristles of the mode for some time has been to use this sheath. theme to convey an impression of slimness. A shenth, however, is insuficient, to say the least, oh a normal figure, and sometimes even achieves the contrary effect. In any crise, whatever may be the final result of the sheath theme, it can never have but a very dis- tant acquaintance with a really high-class model. It only by u aubtle combining of various effects that the slim line can be achieved, and a narrow silhouette is beauti- ful only when a certain amount of fullness is brought in play.

This is what constitutes the full- ness theme on which every style has an influence as each succed- ing season comes along. As a matter of fact, the disposition, or placing, of fullness alone has been at times to constitute a style in it- self.

This quality of case and full- ness is manifest in the most sim- ple dresses and you will find that even the most tailored gown shows Hurt of fullness without which it would be a mere garment; certainly not a creation.

Subtle Touches Count

The same principle of the "light" touch is applied in all ente- gories of dress. Certain trimmings have a tendency to giving the im- pression of lightness, but they are not what I have in mind.

I con- sider them insufficient and have always believed that a dress must possess that element of lightness dress shown here, for example, menta it inspires. But these treat- and casiness in itself.

White crepo is used by Jean Patou for this graceful even- ing ensemble. The cape effect, which is soft in its cowl neck and draped front, is edged with sablé, making it very effective. (Right) This black marocain afternoon dress would be charac terless, asserta Patou, without the supple effect achieved by the volant effect and the assymetrical cut of the bodice.
