SEMI-FORMAL FROCKS;
' f
LATEST PARTY FROCKS
I
TflE two attractive afternoon
frocks, of which the illustrations
given here tell their simple but
pleasing stories, are examples of two
types that are rivals for favor. One
of them is sure of universal accept
ance and the other is winning many
admirers. They invite comparison of
the straight line silhouette and the
dress with slender bodice and full
Bkirt.
The straight line is already estab
lished and will continue with us in
the spring and summer, but it is va
ried by many models iu which drapery
f
ment developed in black and whit?.
Fashion appears to be of several
minds as to the silhouette most to
be desired in party frockp, with no
inclination to favOr slender! lines more
than others. One may cast a shadow
that is Grecian or straight-line or mid
Victorian, and find them all sponsored
by the best authorities. And there
are lovely frocks 'hat strike a happy
medium, neither very full nor scant ?
they are apt to be found among the
many lace gowns worn over satin or
sheer underdresses.

GOWNS THAT PROMISE LONG SERVICE
is adroitly introduced, at the front
or sides, that does not interfere with '
their straight-out lines. New fabrics .
indicate that the many frocks will
adopt the full skirt because it is dig
nified and in keeping with their char
acter. In the meantime frocks like
those pictured grace our afternoons
and promise . to he of service for a
long time. Canton crepe or crepe
back satin are recommended fdr these
between-sea sons' frocks that tit I In at
look demure in a party frock of sill;
lace tlounciii? over a net foundation.
The flouncing is put on in three tiers
and ribbon roses are set about the
two lower flounces. The same lace Is
used to make a wldo bertha that falls
over the straight bodice and arms.
I.racelets, made of little ribbon roses
and set on a band of ribbon, are tied
about the wrists ? they correspond
with this romantic type of dress. A
rose, or some other decoration, Is U
SILK LACE FLOUNCING OVER NET'
any time of the year. These are made
of the satin. The br%wn frock at the
left has a wrinkled bodice, made in
four sections set together with a pip
ing of satin-covered cord. It Is fin
ished at the neck line with one of
several fashionable berthas. This one
,'s made of all-over lace edged with
two frills of narrow val and split over
the short sleeves of the dress.
A black and white model presents
battlement edges bound in white crepe
and white silk embroidery in odd fig
ures on the bodice. The plain girdle
ia fastened with a handsome orna
be expected on a party frock and Is !
rarely conspicuous by its absence on
any of thera. They call for hair or
naments, too, and thftse are supplied
by twisted bands of silver or gold
tissue, bandeau of flowers or of rib
bon. It is a fad to finish these band?
with a cluster of grapes matching th? (
gown In color.
