Q O
(OTK'ET, the famous Tr.rls dress designer, in one of his talks before
New York audience emphasized two principles of the "elegance'' of
dress which ho said he was trying to teach. One of thepe was'tha
search for greater simplicity; the other. sh senrch for original detail
of personality. He also said "chocs.- your gowns with due considera
tion of stability, with the thought or where they Rre to be worn. Choose what
is most to s-our beauty, in colors most suited to your complexion and appro
priate for the occasion." ,
.- American women who are buying; French gowns for this season have a
choice of expensive and elorant slnipllcitv, but styles of the moment in the
effort to make everything fashionable will carry away our intention to stick
to the simpler modes.
The attractive one-piece dreys on the riRht-of this pace t (blouses 7911, skirt

bought for 50 cents a yard is used as an e tive trimming on the yoke. One
could make a similar effoct with a der-lpti fashioned from plain soutache beaid
or silk cord. Silk tassete might also be used ns ornaments where the buttons

new style feature. Each number of the
