? FASHIONS ? By Lillian Meriwether ? ??????????* What a fascination fashion holds for femininity! The shops just at present are a wonderful attraction for woman. Just to feast one's eyes on the gorgeous products of In dividual and collective genius! The ultimate effort of the cleverest of this land and abroad is on view. For Evening The mode for evening is vivid, splendid and freely oriental in in fluence. Luminous colors, meteoric fabrics and flattering furs have been ordained for night time. The joyous mood is the ascendant note and with it goes a galaxy of colors in brilliant combinations; lights and shadows with their half disclosed forms; women radiant in the glint of beauti ful gowns and wraps; the twinkle of dancing feet and bodies swaying to lilting tunes; the waving of languid fans and soft laughter; floating chif fons, webs of lace, rainbow tinted taffeta# and crepes of sylphlike grace; velvet brocades softened by sheer chiffon backgrounds; metallic broc ades aflame with color, of wondrous designs found in the symbols of other lands, some borrowed from the Chi nese, some from the Persians, Hin dus and Egytians. The splendor of evening gowns are beyond anything one can imagine. fj The opera season is about to open and there the most georgeous will be dis played. Fancy a handsome robe of gold tissue, a work of art in itself, and over it a web of silver tissue em broidered in beads and jewels! Colors and contours of embroider ies rival nature in their diversity. Expert hands with the skill of a paint er, the touch of a sculptor, worked weeks achieving effects such as never before have been known. Brocade, raiment of royalty, gut tering, glistening, gleaming brocades! Silk brocades scintillant with metal, courtly gowns and wraps in which the glory of the fabrics is its own adorn ment A fanfare of beautful color into which is woven romance and mysticism, each brocade patteVn lovely as a painting. Imagine in an evening wrap where velvet flowers in Gobelin blue grow in a garden of silver. The mode is contrary. It lifts the skirt several inches from the ground during the day, then drops it com* pletely for the evening. The length of the gown varies as the type of gown varies, even trailing the ground. As to their line, there is a leaning to the gown without a waist line, and to one that bean throughout its outline re semblance to a tube, and makes the young girl look slim and straight The gown that is draped up at the front with the skirt kept rather scant at the back and otherwise following the straight silhouette, has the waist line rather low. Speaking of lines; fashion has not yet made up her mind whether she prefers slim frocks or those that are bouffant, yards and yards wide. Both are seen in this section, the latter in dance frocks of the jeune fills. These have the tight bodice and are devel oped in taffeta. Skirt lengths of evening frocks for the debutante al most touch the floor. Flowers for the corsage are coming into vogue again and she chooses a cluster that pleasingly contrasts with the rest of her costume. Gnroi of Other Materials' Not all of us can be seen at the opera in rich brocades nor can some' of us jazx in gold and silver tissue, but the designers have not neglected us. We can have a charming bit. of luxury in chiffon and georgette with gleaming bead trimmings and shad owy laces. Or we can be enfolded in all the alluring charm of romantic Spain in black chiffon and lace over emerald green. A new material for gowns is rflk moire, supple enough to drape softly, and in all the evening tones. In one of the little shops just off Fifth Ave nue, was a gown of apricot crepe satin embroidered in silver thread. The waist line was apparent but subdued to a mere joining of the! waist and skirt. The front was al most perfectly plain. In the back the waist was cut low U-shape. We might select an evening gown in a novel three toned tiered effect; the waist and the first tier of soft or chid chiffon, the skirt underneath of deep pink, and the bottom skirt of rich fuchsia, presenting a tri-color scheme qxtremely chic. There are other gowns of satin georgette and of flat crepe. Perhaps you would like one of those lovely tunics fashioned of fine silk net, heavily covered with cut beads and sequins in opalescent, sap phire, Iridescent or black and worn over a costume slip; or the Georgette tunic, charming, graceful, clinging, sparkling with brilliants. And in the semi-made dresses there are the Chantilly lace creations with tier upon tire of soft, filmy lace in exquis ite colors. BAPTIST LAYMEN OF SOUTH WILL MEET In the hope of more fully informing and enlisting the Baptist laymen of the South in all phases of the work of the denomination, a Southwide con vention of men has been arranged to be held in Memphis, Tenn., February 18, 18, and 14, it is announced by Dr. J.

YOUR EARS AREN'T MATES Do you know your ears are not mates? They may look alike, be the same length, breadth and depth, but do you know you can hear with one bet ter than with the other. \ Your left ear is the best The tele phone did it Almost invariably tele phone users put receivers to their left ears In order to leave their right hand free to write. As a result, left ears have become far more sensitive than the right If you don't believe it, shift into reverse and attempt to hear a telephone message with the right ear. All telephones are made with this in view and they are known as left hand "phones." That is, the receiver hangs on the left side of the instru ment and facilitates use in the left hand.
