GLOVES FOR EVENING

WIGS MADE OF OSTRICH FEATHERS Evening gloves are making a bid for favour again. Black open-work gloves almost shoulder length, held into position at tho top by golden serpentine bracelets, were seen at a display of fashions in London recently. A white feather evening wig was another innovation. It was shaped to the head like a close shingle, with upstanding plumes at the back. Both of them were worn with a lovely evening gown of white taffeta, that had a closefitting bodice and a full flounced skirt, which dipped to the ground at the back. Cascade necklaces, that comprised innumerable rows of tiny glass beads to match coloured gowns, were another smart new dress accessory shown. So, too, were ostrich boas, dyed to match a particular toilet. A new and effective note was struck in a youthful outfit of wild-rose pink silk lace, set over an underslip of printed floral ninon. Skirts proved definitely longer, and important collars of summer-time furs appeared on i many coats. An original model coat of black silk looked distinctive, with black and white uncurled ostrich feather trimming. Flounces of it appeared on the skirt of the coat, and fashioned the becoming collar and cuffs. A close-fitting cap of black celophane, that almost resembled a wig, with ospreys drooping to one 1 shoulder, completed the effect.
