among us is so homely that she could

seductive gowns. No -fact is so plate

i acme of intellectual rakishness.' of
, naughty severity, complicated simplicity,
, . sophisticated innocence. To my mind
. they are the most tantalising, captiv
', vating and alluring creations I have
ever seen. Caprice and incongruity go
' hand in hand. The models contradict
each other to an amazing extent In
, the most subtle alluring manner, some
of the cleverly draped Incredible gowns
suggest nothing so much as impudent
decorum,' frivolous dignity. " . -

such were the gowns that captivated
Portland women Tuesday. - - v '
I have gone Into Iady Duff Gordon's
studio many times. and found her with
her head on her. desk and her eyes
closed and I would'think'she was asloep,
but in her . hand there would be a pencil
and- she-would be Jotting down a few
words that didn't seem to amount to
moch satin, beads, georgette or some'
thing of that sort but it was really the
budding of One. of her marvelous crea
tions that would burst forth in full bloom
a fewn weeks later." - Thus spoke Miss
La -Fayv the , traveling representative
of this wizard of women's wear, who is
in Portland in charge of the exhibition.
"Not .ofily Is every gown named," con
Unued JUIss La Fay, "but there la really
a JitUe story that goes with each gown,
tha story of the thought behind Its erea?
thn. .There'a "Daddy's Darling -for in
stance. ; She had in mind in creating
that .gown, a beautiful young girl dressed
for her' first party, rushing up to her
dsddy.ifor approval. In that .dignified
black georgette with bands of cut Jet
ehe "had in fnlrid a mother in mourning
for her. son Ivho will never return from
hover there,' and so named it Thoughts
or Yesterday - , .
"Words fall so utterly to convey the
rear charm of these, gowns. It isn't the
gold' doth and another flame colored
silki, It's the way these things are com
bined and draped, Just the Indescribable
something that In the poverty of our
language we call charm. '
MAX VARIETIES 8H0WIC '
"Tha Charming Hostess1 was a crea
tion of black spangled tulle with ostrich
embellishment over pearl gray satin.
"Prince Igore" simulated the gown of
a Russian princess. It was of gold bro
caded velvet-with skunk, opossum fur,
with which was worn a chlo Russian hat.
"Persian Rosa" was a combination of
Delft blue georgette and brocade over
gold cloth, the Quaint little basque end
ing with the sauciest of little wired air
plane effects around the hips. "La Bel
glque," suggestive of Belgium in its
color combinations and style, ' was of
navy blue - trlcotine with embroidery
around the short basque and the bot
tom of the skirt of old- rose and black
yar,. gold t thread . and wooden .beads.
Evening ' gowns of gorgeous spangled
nets, gold, cloth and other rich materials
dazzled tha onlookers as they passed
in rapid, succession across the stage. Out
standing ' features of tha model were
extremely narrow skirts, necks, only
slightly open, long sleeves flaring at the
wrists and materials and trimmings of
great richness, 7 , " ' .
