There is glamour in a dinner suit and we find as the days go by the women are more and more coming to prefer specialised dinner attire, lovely samples of which appear in this collection. Tire first suit comprises black silk crepe skirt showing a full back and short-sleeved jacket of butterfly wing, blue lame, buttoned high at neck with fold-over cravat. Second is a perfectly plain black velvet skirt with short train and satin backed lame jacket, with ridged surface in shades of Chinese red with gold thread. This is an Austrian model. Another Austrian model, third along, is in black cloque, with very feminine jacket, which is lined throughout, and wine coloured flower on shoulder. The skirt of crepe, which fits the figure snugly, shows the niched fullness in front. Fourth in the line is a very luscious satin backed dinner gown in rust coloured romaine, with alternating bands of dull and shiny surfaces running horizontolly across the bodice. The delightful sleeves show the new pointed shoulder line, and a small Hared basque is a feature of the tightly fitting skirt. Very lovely is the long-sleeved, fully basqued dinner gown in light chocolate coloured novelty crepe fifth in the row. The basque is stiffened and stitched and the neckline is high. The gold kidbelt is matched by the gold kid evening shoes. On the extreme right is an attractive cocktail frock of rustlac moire, with an ivory moire vest, worn with an imported model halo hat of matching velour.
