\TO LONGER are fine fabrics the
’ exclusive property of the few
people who can disregard cost.
There’s luxury for everybody these
days, because of the advancement of
rayon as a textile fiber during the
last few years. Rayon has made pos

at prices well within the reach of
modest budgets.
To the evening wear field, where
luxury has always been the keynote,
are contributed gorgeous fabrics

richness the feminine heart could
ask. Exquisite, for evening, is crisp
rayon taffeta in enchanting colors
and new effects. Such novel taffeta
finishes as gleaming satin stripes,
metal stripes and striking plaid ef

color designs are seen in stunning
bouffant gowns like the model pic
