Tulle and Silver Are the Chief Ma-
terials of This Dancing Frock.
By Lady Duff-Gordon ("Lucile")
Paris September 15
a LGERNON BLACKWOOD, who wrote
f "The Promise of Air " should admire
these flyaway dance dresses. Mr.
Blackwood wrote of the crarm of the air
He gave to his hero and to his heroine too
the flyaway feeling, a desjre to follow the
birds into far domains of ether. Each of
these gowns suggests "the promise of air"
Like Mr. Blackwood's much quoted book,
they are eloquent of levitatlon.
The middle figure is composed of flyaway
materials, net over satin of the lightest
weight and substance, and shadow lace,
most ethereal of laces. The skirt is of
graduated flounces of the net, through
which one catches gllmpsos of the sheen
of satin and the delicacy of shadow lace
The bodice is tight and finished at the
top with lace.
In tho bodice in front Is an Inset of lace
ever palo chiffon From the belt line at
the back pass two wide bands of jet across
the shoulders and meet at a p6int at the
waist line in front Cue of these extends
to and bdow the hem of the skirt. A large
Jet and silver buckle clasps these hanfls;
On the left hand you see the model of a
gowu that is a picturesque blend of tulle
and Jet. Tho Jet is arranged In heavy
bands extending lengthwise from shoulder
to waist upon the wide butterfly sleeves.
The skirt hangs from a high belt band In
scant flounces, the top flounce being ar-
ranged as, panniers.
With the right-hand figure I offer you a I
model of pale tulle, with silver embroidery.
The tuilo Is draped irregularly over a lace
slip. The drapery, the narrow tulle train I
and the short kimono sleeves are trimmed
with sliver banding.
Parisians are accepting the; edict of' good ' -ie
taste. The. extremes of taste, expressions pRS
of joy after victorious war, are yielding
before the decree of sober-moods and in
stincts of greater delicacy The skirts
are lengthening and widening. The short
saucy coats are giving way to longer, more
sybstantial ones. Four colors are domi
nant. They are dark blue, dark brown'
taupo and yellow, the yellow running the
gamut of the color from palest lemon to a
reddish yellow that is called flame. '
