At the smart cocktail party in a graceful gown of black crepe with an attractive drapeo The narrow gold kid belt tones with the motif in gold and multi-colored bugle beads on the bodice. Pie next dress shown in the group is the latest in cocktail frocks from abroad. Made in floral lama, it has the tunic slightly draped at the waist and short, puffed sleeves. The hat is of dull silver with fur pompoms. Josephine, the French maid, wears a black satin coat frock with ecru lace for her cap and apron and cuffs. The Alix model worn by the girl standing to the left on the second pillar is of crepe in an alluring shade of copper. Marvellously cut, its only trimming is in the novel threaded fastenings on the left side. The headdress is a bunch of forget-me-nots and veil in the exact shade of the dress. The girl sitting in front of the second pillar is in a frock of navy sheer, featuring the new Alix drape on both skirt and bodice. An Oriental ornament catches the drape in front and the same effect and coloring is repeated in the hat ornament and bangle. A black sheer dress with a quaint bolero coat banded with black sequins is worn by the girl on the right of the second pillar. The sash is of bright cherry red velvet. Last in the group is seen a tailored dress and coat of black fancy crepe. The coat has wide revers and cuffs of sequins in three colors. The dress is sleeveless and has a high neckline back and front and a cummerbund of sequins to match the coat trimming.
