EVENING TUNICS

FASHION COME-BACKS

The evening tunic or overjumper is such a useful, becoming, and economical item in the wardrobe that most women will be delighted by the news that it is back in fashion (states a fashion writer in the "Daiiy Mail"). This season, by the way, has seen the return of more than one immediately postwar mode. Silk crochet is another "come-back," both for sports jumpers and short scarves, and is particularly good in the new wine shades.

Evening tunics are , most effective with wide accordion-pleated skirts. Whatever skirt is chosen, or adapted from last season's evening gown, it should be of plain material if tho tunic is decorated in any way.

At a dress show recently an embroidered tunic was worn with a silver lame skirt, _a combination which looked fussy and distracted the eye from the beauties of both fabrics. Have a plain or cowl neckline, and let the interest centre in the sleeves. Long-sleeved tunics are attractive for dinner wear at home, or for informal bridge evenings, if they are tight below the elbow and pouched, medieval page fashion, above. The flowing sleeve is a good choice for the woman whoso arms are either too bony or tdo plump.Sleeveless tunics of this tyno, worn with simple pleated skirts and long gloves, mako very attractive little dance ensembles.

Paris treats these tunics in a variety •of ways as far as decoration is. concerned. Very elaborate ones -have epaulettes and belt buckles of silvered wood boads.' A white georgette tunic delicately embroidered with diamante sprays is also very chic.
