Christmas Gaiety Found In Women's Ornaments By MARY ANN CAMPBELL * Glitter this Christmas at parties and charity balls if you would be in style. Glitter so you rival the Christmas tree or the balls or the wrappings of the packages. Dress your gayest in the evening, anti you will lend a little much-needed glamour and gayety to the grim background of this year’s season of rejoicing. You can find all puooiuic vai xttiv.Q wj. which to deck yourself, in the form of trimming on dresses, or the sheen of materials, or the shine of gold and gleam of sil ver in your accessories. Eugene stores are shcfwing many models which will fill all these requirements. There is a red jersey dress with gold sprinkled at the neck and on the pockets, a red crepe with a low V-neck which is outlined with gold and has gold embroidered with a lavish hand around the waist in a nailhead trim, a black jersey with a wide belt set into the dress embroidered in gold, and made with an accordion pleated skirt to give you height and make you look “slenderer and slenderer.” Black Crepe There is a black crepe dress, with a red yoke, in case you can’t decide whether you prefer black or red or vice versa, which has gold and rhinestones thick on the yoke. In ease neither red nor black is your dish, a Christmas green crepe, green as the cedar boughs that decorate the win dows, with bands of silver em broidery, like frost in the moon light, should satisfy your most exacting requirements. The newt American beauty red, sort of a cross between magenta and scarlet, to make you gay as a Christmas rose, is made with a minute peplum edged with se quins in the same shade. To show’ your sympathy with our good neighbor policy in South Amer ica, you might try a formal of Spanish origin, white crepe, with a long skirt flowing gracefully into a vivid green cummerbund, adorned with a huge red cabbage rose at the waist. Medieval Motif Medieval motif is supplied by a dress made with a top in blushing pink and a full black skirt, the long moulded torso joined to the skirt with a roll of black covered with spaghetti trimming of the pink. Rose, blue, soft green, and black taffeta stripes make the skirt of another formal gay. This model has a bodice of blue velvet and elbow length sleeves edged with striped taffeta and a collar of taffeta contrasting ef fectively with the rich blue of the velvet. Taffeta Models Two black and white checked taffeta models are worthy of mention. The material is quaint and would be delightful whimsy for a tall blonde girl. One of the dresses is made with an off-the shoulder neckline edged in two niffles, which gives the dress an early Victorian air, and makes H ' --L .. . Ask Dot!

The other has a black and white checked taffeta skirt and a black velvet bodice, very simply cut. For you lucky damsels who are tall, incredibly slender, and blonde as a movie star, a white jersey with a Grecian quality in the cut and drape of it, gold em broidery at the neck and waist, and long rather full sleeves, should be just your dish. There is also a white jersey with se quins and pearls at the waist and sleeves, which is quite similar, except that it has short sleeves. Little Girls Now, with a special bow to you little girls who, while you really aren’t heavy, like to give the illusion of looking more slender than the scales say you are, mention should be made of a green crepe with an accordeon pleated skirt, a V-neck, a tucked bodice, and complicated knots on the shoulders. And to make your dramatic moments more dramatic, on THIS rack we have a black and Amer ican beauty taffeta with a gath ered top, a fitted waist, and a big gaudy spray of embroidery on the shoulder and another, just like it, on the skirt. This model is not for the shy, mousy type, or the short girl. For them a cloud-pink watered silk taffeta with wine velvet bows on the pockets and a sweetheart neck line should answer all require ments. , GIFTS?? r Where to go and what to get are big Christmas questions.
