THAT shall I wear at winter parties?" That is the question that I am most asked just now.

Some readers want to hear about frocks for dinners and dances; others for cinemas and "little" evenings at home or Bridging with friends; there is a big demand, too, for frocks that can make their bow with equal glamour between 4'.m. and 4 a.m.

Luckily for the four-to-four o'clocks, fashion has provided for just what they want this season, Long sleeves and high necks are de rigueur for the evening. What really differentiates between a day frock and an evening one this winter is the length of the skirt. So if you have a long- skirted frock, either with or without a train, you are safe in putting it in the four-to-four category.
