Directolrc Evening Gowns
A charming short-waisted evening
gown is worn by Mis.-, Peggy Wood in
"Buddies." There is something ap
i pealingly feminine about thvse cos-,
itumea with long, slender lines of skirt
below a high-walsted bodice. And
: such costumes always seem to have
I a gracious dignity, a simplicity and
naturalness that Is most plasinK- The
effect has not been attalftti In the
short, flat, straight -around bodice sup
ported by shoulder-straps which has
been in vogue for the past two sea
sons. This style has proved so pop

I Notes and Notions.
SEASON S DECOLLETAGE NOT As1
EXTREME AS IT SOUNDS
TT is true that many of the evening
gowns of the seirson are cut very
low, especially at the back, where
the point of the decollctagc frequently I
I touches 11k- waistline. But this pro
i nounced decollelugv. recorded by all '.
the fashion reporters this winter, and
particularly by those who write up I
opera costumes for the newspapers,
has not the extreme effect that one
might Imagine. In most Instances
tulle or chiffon Is swathed or draped
around the figure within the slashed -l
down outer bodice and the actual
! line of the decollelage comes quite
high on the neck and shoulders. Paris
evening gowns, which arc certainly
cut very low, have these swathings
of tulle in white or flesh tint and
though at a distance the dccolletage
appears to bo extreme It Is not ac- j
tually so. at all.

voice is not demoted to serious op-
cratic music rather than given to light
opera. Then you realized how terribly ,
the little singer's dramatic gifts wouiu
be missed from productions which dc-I
mand great dramatic talent as web as
voice, And that is exactly the reason
why Mi.ss 1'cggy Wood is not singing
in grand opera. She had ambitions,
about grand opera like every other
young singer who ls having a mar
velous voice trained for a professional
career; but It wa discovered that she
had another great gift almost as!
great as that of her voice the his
trionic gift. At the close of the run
of "The Madcap Duchess", a musical
comedy in which she made her debut,
she was begged to take a straight
comedy part in "Young America", and
her success in this part was instant
land enormous. She need never have
sung another note in her life if she
hadn't wanted to. and still have had
la splendid career on the stage.
But- with that sparkling dramatic
talent and that beautiful voice to go
wiili it. success on the light opera
(ctage was assured. In "May-time" Miss
Wood demonstrated her ability. For
over two years she sang the leading
part In this dainty opcratta, first
i through the long New York run and
afterward on tour. And when the
last performance came she "cried her
eyes out" to quote her own words
i beeauso she was to sing in "May time"
