HONORED
Party Frock for
The feet of the new adventurer In
social pleasures tread a path made
more or less rosy according to the suc
cess of her pnrty frocks. The pretty
aiald In the accompanying picture Is
suitably clothed, for her gown Is just
leinurc enough to suggest youth and
Just sparkling enough to express Joy,
and In every particular It fulfills Its
mission. It goes without saying that
tho mission of this, as of all other
gowns, Is first of all, to he becom
ing. This frock Is made of satin with
an underskirt of net and lace and a
bodice developed In the same mate
rials. Silver threads gleam In the lace,
nnd a narrow line of spangles edges

Bags Must Match Millinery.
In whatever direction your face bo
turned, whether to the skating fields
or toward the land where the palms
frow, or midway between, fashion de
crees that you shall carry bags to
match your millinery. And If you
itay nt home, not one but several bags
will be required to see you through
the everyday uffalrs of life In the ap
proved .way. There Is a ling for every
thing, and bugs within bags, nnd no
telling Just what they till contain.
Each one has a reason for Its exist
ence besides the nil-Important one of
complying with the mode.
Three aspirants for the favor of
,1lscrtmlnatlng women, nro shown In
tho picture. At tho left n bag of vel
vet and fur Is pait of n smart skating
jet, with a cap of the same materials
and a short fur neckpiece. In this
bag velvet Is gathered on to a wide
bnnd of fur to form the top, and It Is
Irnwn up by narrow satin ribbon which
forms loops for carrying It.
At the left a bag mado of plush Is
ihaped so that the handle slips over
ttio wrist. The opening Is closed by a
narrow bnnd of the plush which slips
tip or down as required. An ornament
the Debutante.
two flounces of silver-run laco about
the bottom. The wide scallops nt the
bottom of the oversklrt reach only a
little below the top of these flounces,
and are defined by spangles. Except
for a small pannier drapery at each
side the oversklrt hangs In straight
lines from the .waist. For n short
figure this drapery would better be
dispensed with.
An underbodlco of net Is gathered
by two rows of shirring Into a round
neck and nan elbow sleeves finished
with silver-run laco. The satin over
l)0dlcc Is merely a length of tho ma
terial drawn about the figure and
trimmed In a point at the front. Two
rows of spangles define its lower
edge.
About tho top of the sntln bodice
and over tho right shoulder there Is a
light drapery of tulle. Over tho left
shoulder a suspender of nnrrqw velvet
ribbon proves that It Is the unexpect
ed that happens In gowns as In other
feminine affairs.
In colored beads, Is embroidered on It
exactly like the ornament on the hat,
which has a crown and brim edge of
plush.
In the center of the group u Palm
Beach set Is shown for those who
turn their backs upon the Ice and
snow to bask In a Southern sun and
wear marvelous sports clothes. Tho
soft hat and bug are mado of blue and
gold faille silk, sowed with blue and
gold yam and finished with yarn tas
sels. Theso tassels are fastened to
the hat and bag with snup fasteners.
Why? Because tho hat and bag are
reversible nnd may bo worn with tho
blue side out or the gold side out.
Whichever way, the blue and gold tas
sels make them complete.
