The introduction of black jersey in
the bodice is in keeping with the
present trend. This touch of black
gives a sophisticated look to an
otherwise airy, fairy Ingenue frock.
The wing-sleeved bolero and the
very full over-skirt effect are high-
style details.
This matter of sheer airy-fairy
fabrics for the party dress carries
all the way through the program of
the "pretty” frocks fashion so defi

yards and yards of billowy tulles or

with its quaint little fitted bodice.
A new vogue this season is that

Most of the new white dresses of
rayon jersey (with a dull finish) or
rayon crepe are made very simply.
They are, however, given a look of
distinction and importance by in
triguing touches such as gold kid
trimmings, gold or jeweled buttons,
girdles with an enrichment of jewel
embroidery.
Watch buttons! They promise to
be as important as jewelry in the
evening mode, and are used con
spicuously so as to cal] attention to
their intricate design. Huge flower
buttons add infinite charm to the
otherwise all-white frock. Immense
mother-of-pearl buttons are fashion
highlights. Some of the pearl but

design worked out in gold or silver.
You can get buttons that snap on

aspect and color scheme at will.
