II u ' vv" 1 ' Jl FORMAL FROCKS FEATURE GRECIAN DRAPERY MOTIF The Greeks had a word for it and so have we. This new Grecian drapery which is the keynote of winter's fashions for evening wear is really different. The drapery is arranged in a variety of ways. Sometimes in front, somelimes in the back, and it is found in the bodice and the skirt, and often in both. Fabrics are expressing them-O selves in these arrangements. Rich lames in gold or silver, heavy sheers, chiffons, soft velvets, silk crepes and satins all take to this matter of shirring, puckering, pleating and soft paneling. As to color, white is indescribably lovely in these gowns. Red is good news too every shade of red you could ever imagine from the deep du bonnet to the very lightest and most delicate shades. Rich greens, purples, and blues, and black and still more black. This is an important frock: black velvet with the skirt in pan els of about six to eight inches in width waistline very high coming up to a point in the front and gathered on to a tight fitting Wraps Descend to Ground In Capes of Velvet or Fur If you wish to be completely glamorous and magnificent, add an evening cape of velvet or fur. No more cute little jackets or wraps of this-and-lhat around the shoulders. You may have either a cape or a coat, but whichever it is, it must have style and should be full length. Capes are rich in color, with great : .1r;,4B am, n.l1h Wing " They are very practical also, as many of them are reversible with on aide one color and the other side completely different and at the same time jusi as oeauuiui.

As to the colors in these ex rmtional new formal coats one can find as always the ever smart black velvet with tne wnite saun linine- Dark shades of red with linings of either bright red or a black, will make you look like a nineteen thirty-six edition of what the well dressed woman will wear.

It is cut very low in the front and brought up high in the back with a large square-cut rhinestone button. The sleeves are large flowing and graceful, they reach just to the tip of the elbow and may either be caught up with a rhinestone button or let hang, which is the newest. This gown will give you the effect of a Grecian goddess. Heavy flowered silks are being worn this season, gold and green combinations taking a definite lead over the others.

The back of this collar is lined in velvet so as to make it heavy enough and also to make it look all right on the underneath side. And when one gets tired of this type of coat all one has to do is to let the collar down in to a cape once more and start rolling, and when one is finished one will (Continued on Page 2.)
