("Lucile"J
AS Spring approaches evening gowns display greater variety. You
will observe that the pair of them on this page have little in com
mon save their extreme narrowness about the ankles.
Extremely elaborate is that pictured in the larger photograph. The
keynote of this robe is magnificence, both in color and fabric. The long,
scant skirt, diminishing to kimono-like narrowness and character of the
border at the hem. is of "brocade in gold and red. Great leaves of gold
shine against a background of burgundy satin. Turned up around the
hem is a loose fold of apricot silk. The tight, sash bodice is of striped
brocade in gold, silver ami old rose. The free ends of the sash reach
nearly to the hem of the skirt in front, and are finished with copper roses
and silver tassels. A long scarf of silver gauze is drawn about the shoul
ders and fastened at the bust line. The sash is edged by a border of rose
and silver ribbon. From the back hangs a second scarf like a square
finished cape. This is of gold gauze with a border of
turquoise ribbon. An Oriental touch is the ornament of
black feathers and emerald green silk worn on the corsage,
A similar ornament is worn with the filet of silver ribbon.
Long turquoise and pearl earrings sound again the Oriental
note. .
The second gown, reproduced in the upper left hand -''
of the page, is a robe of emerald tulle over a foundation
of violet satin. The tulle is finished with a flat, narrow
border of silver. A wide short sash of bronze green satin
tightly confines the wai6t. An orchid of velvet is thrust
amopg the folds of the sash. Fjom the right shoulder to
the left, across the sash and to the edge of the short
tunic, falls a spray of silver and brilliants in floral
design.
Black is growing in popularity. Instead of wearying
of the sable shade, women of fashion who have worn it
frequently this Winter are ordering new gowns of It in which to wel
.come Spring. It is as though night wrapped itself in an extra mantle of
darkness to meet the flush of dawn.
A lovely evening gown made for a twenty-year-old debutante was fash
ioned of black satin. The satin was covered with black lace, the black
lace with filmiest black net. Front and back full-length panels were of
the satin, covered with the lace. Between the panels from hip to hem
were arranged many narrow side ruffles. From beneath the ruffles peeped
little clusters of pink rosebuds.
