JUMPER SUITS FOR DANCES CHARM WHICH RIVALS OLD WORLD FROCKS One of the smartest figures at a recent big dance was a girl who came not in the favoured long and flowing robe de soir of filmy chiffon, but in a severely straight-cut jumper suit of oriental lame. Probably it was the reaction of seeing her there among those all pervading chiffon creations that made her the outstanding personality of the evening. With her sleek black Eton crop, that jumper suit certainly did go well. Of crimson and gold brocaded lame, the jumper fell over a pleated skirt, and was worn with a coat of the same material heavily banded with fox fur. As the dance season languishes, these heavier materials such as lame and velvet join the limbo of forgotten things on the coat-hanger in the wardrobe. But jumper suits of chiffon or georgette, or of either material combining lace, make fairly frequent entries into the ballroom. The knee-length skirt finely patterned in a pleated design worn with bright shoes and nude stockings, has a charm of its own in its very busi-ness-like air, which not even the feminine draperies of sbftly-coloured chiffon can hope to capture. Every woman who takes a pride In her personal appearance will recognise that in •Stamford’s Salons their Individual requirements will recelvs professional and careful attention. Highly skilled masseuses, permanent wavers, marcel wavers, and shlnglers In attendance.—Stamford’s, 132 Queen St. 1
