EVENING GAIETIES.

Inexpensive Frocks. For the girl who has to consider expense when she is buying her evening frock, black stiff taffetas or faille, worn with a gay belt and corsage bow of many colours, is always 'a safe choice, states a London writer. The bow can be changed readily for a posy or trail of flowers, and for dancing a full-skirted taffetas dress is always good. It is- elasy to make and can stand hard wear. Nothing surpasses white or black, if they suit the wearer, or is so effective in a large erod'd. Th© duller greensshould, on the other hand, be avoided; they in their turn are charming for crepe and velvet dinner dresses.

| The pleated cape fichu is a pretty form of decolletage finish on many of the new gowns in satin, another favourite fabric for the ball season. A crisp ethereal tulle dancing frock is Otways pleasing, but a creation of "white tulle is ia very* fragile affair. Tulle ruches, bordering an overdress of tulle shaped on to black and silver is, however, both lovely and practical. Floor-length skirts are usual for dancing; ultra-wide hems fall beyond the fbet, but the stiffened hem line allows them to stand away freely.
