FASHIONS

SEEN IN SMART CIRCLES Long, tight-fitting cuffs reaching to the elbow are a snappy feature of the new day frocks. They arc often in a different colour from the rest of the dress (a brown dress may have cuffs of flame or emerald) and are joined to the upper sleeve by a puff, an armlet, or a frill at the elbow. After the cotton dance-frock, the woollen one. Nearly all the dress shows feature one or more evening frocks in some woollen fabric such as mousseline de lainc, wool voile, or even one of those charming feather-weight broadcloths. Metal trimmings abound in the new fall models. Rows of flat metal buttons chase one another up and down the latest coats for day wear. Belts arc often entirely composed of gilt or nickel. They look smart and dashing on the new greens and warm reds of the moment. The "tie-yourself’ ’ blouse. An attractive garment with a crossover bodice and long ends that tie at the hack. Often made of jersey for day wear and angel skin or lace for evening. The movable waistline. A belt with the end sown into the dress at about the normal waistline. The wearer then winds the bolt roend whore she wants it. A high or low waist can thus he obtained nt will. Isn’t it simple? Black varnished satin used for smart little talkie drosses and jackets. Fur collars that take off and on. and are tied with large velvet hows. A savo-your-pocket scheme that enables you to wear the same collar on several different things.
