The Evening “Fantasy"
BEAUTY AND USEFULNESS COMBINED Since our lives are so much fuller than they used to be, and it is necessary occasionally to attend more than one function on the same evening, the designers are combining much beauty and more usefu.ness in our clothes. The very long, closely-fitting garments are most elegant, but they insist that we move more slowly, and are, therefore, not very suit able for busy women . The little evening "fantasy” is much more adaptable. A SILVER SUIT A charming three-piece suit was worn by a pretty girl at a dinnei- | dance recently. The skirt was quite long, of the new fluted shape, j mounted on a shaped liip-yoke which tied with a flat bow at the waist. A three-quarter coat, hanging loose from the shoulders, had long, straight
jacket sleeves, and was fastened at the throat with narrow ribbons of the material. The suit was made of very supple broche lame in silver and pale rose, while the accompanying tuck-in blouse, decollete and sleeveless, was made of thick silver lace over rose chiffon. This charming suit, so simple yet so sophisticated, created a sensation, especially when the wearer prepared to depart by throwing round her shoulders a fox fur dyed pale rose and tucking her sleek head into a beret of the lame. It was a plain beret, but it had a pin of pinky pearls set in silver holding the fold at one side. Another thing— the pretty possessor of this pretty suit had beautiful rose-pink lacquered finger-nails tipped with silver.
These little evening dance suits promise to become very popular this season. Of course, they must not be confused with the elaborate frocks which have short coats of lame and velvet to go with them. They are quite different, have a certain air, are much tailored and more severe. But they can be made of any rich and fantastic fabric. Tulle embroidered with golden flowers materialised one suit, which was completed by a tuck-in. blouse of very fine meshed gold net.
