A dainty and fluffy ruffle dance frock has for its outstanding fea tures a billowy tulle skirl and panels of Pink roses. A more formal frock is of tur quoise blue silk and cream lace. The bodice is long teaisled and comes to the happiest possible conclusion in a draped skirt, aided and abetted by 'silver 'edged tiers of net. ! - rv'n.-..J t-r,mtf "as-o Babette Writes of Evening '-"Frocks t x you heard the w mt and lines straight almost to the hijw. But the skift holds attention with its bias strips each applied on the .diag onal and weighted on the long edge HWE you heard the news? I won't pretend to say whether it is good or bad, but you can judge for yourself. Evening gownare dually adding so many inches to the with silk fringe its own depth and col or. These strips fall in points at the bottom of the short skirt, which pmves another feature its favor, for skirt edges are just as uneven as a whim sical fashion can make them. Shoulder Strap Loses Populnrlty, So it's exit the shoulder strap and enter the bertha fnr this mot feminine of adornments is frequently met with rn a narrow form and often of lace to, head the new dccollctage There is another feature which the higher neck line brings in and that is the cape, ft hangs, of lace or tulle, from the shoul ders and forms a striking background for the straight lines of the lace, silk or Tnuined evening gown. Sometimes it drapes it5elf over the arms and pro vides sleeves to . make the evening gowns even more modest, for logic to the contrary, it is wonderful how great an effect of modesty the sheerest wisp of tulle can give to bare shoulders. As to colors, it is interesting to note that black still hold the lead, and thai if there it anything more popular it is white or black and white. The black frocks vary from an elaborate black lace dress with bouffant skirt a I'es pagnole with tightened bodice of se- decolletage that they could very easily bfl worn for afternoon frocks as, in deed, they really are. And it is a re fiel, viewing it most neutrally as far as modesty and good taste are con cerned, for, after all, designers were petering out on new things to do with the single strand shoulder strap to make it different from every other shoulder strap. After all there is not much inspiration to a string of beads or a strand of ribbon, now, is there? . ItB the SleevelesR Affnlr. But it is a different story when it comes to the new frocks, such a worfti of difference can a few inches more of material make. Their treatment is le gion, but if you were to ask 'me what I considered the most typical of the new high-necked evening dresses I would describe it as a sleeveless af fair, or possibly with the tiniest kind of short sleeves, and a neckline that cov ers the bae of the neck in back and drops just an inch or two below the throat in front. You can sec for your self how practical a style this is when I tell you about a gorgeous new din ner gown designed for Summer wear ing. It is Vf one of those beautiful quined net and cake of the net. plus new nasturtium shades almost a coral. in heavy canton crepe. The bodice is ' cut as I- have described, with a tight armhole and no sleeves, the shallow neck opening almot to the shoulders. wide girdle of poppy red moire that widen in huge poppy leaf loops at 'one side, to a dull black taffeta frock, tight as a sheath on the right hip and draped to rxtend in a high pannier on the left I g y i -m To Ma-h Soiled Wnisl. while Inrtoprs pin an many pierea on When a crepe tie chine 'waist be a lin aa it will roivrjiiently hold, an1 comes flollwl ifnder the arms from a the line can be piared oft the hook coat or aweater try the following and a pfp put under it In a M- method for i-eif.ovin: Tale a basin ules. thiia jfiAentina; a long tay out of soapy water an add one teaspoon- i. the cold. , fulof coal ?h1, let it eomm to a -!!, j0 fnerre 9f thrg hold the soiled part of wyt in lt nie rm peftni.

All her friends will want to sliowcr her and, of course, they will want to do it in entirely new and different ways. Here are some that will be stire to make her say, "Now, isn't this the best evert" , Kitchen showers are always popular, especially where, you wish to " invite friends who are not near enough or have enough leisure to make the things which her best friends will like to bring In the shower. There are so many lit tle inexpensive kitchen novelties that be made from black .cardboard. The dishes will be pie plates and tin cups, , or hum-kins can be used for the liquids. The place cards can be "sou venir spoons," a small tin spoon with name and date written on It in ink.

Presenting the Gifts, At the beginning of the luncheon a good-natured grocery boy can be per suatlcd to "dolivrr" a basketful of goods, which the hostess can a&k the no bride will ever buy for herself, but engaged girl to receive and sea if all always appreciated. If (this shower is to be given at a Imichrnn it can be ap propriately and rather uniquely served right In the kitchen provided the room is large enough.
