I Dull Crepe Frock Becomes Fashionable Xe« York. Oct. 18 -(U.R>—The dull crepe frock has entered the fashion I . HM OIt( . of the newest and most distinguished developments. Ii has I r' e|l accepted by many of New York's smart set, aad will undoubtedly be I ||at is known as an “important dress." So far it has been seen in black, B I bottle It'een. wine-red and beige. H | This gown is most often without trimming, save possibly a buckle of ■ some sort at the sine closing, or to finish the belt. The skirl length is con-

■ I serva t . o handled, broken by a subB I tie drape ut the front or side. Circu- ■ lar fb'unces are also important. The B I neckline., locus attention by the In B I genull v Os their treatments, scarf B I themes intricately arranged to fall B into <ape- at hack, or draped kerK| chief fa-bion, being noteworthy. B T he cloth dress is another candi B I date, tin most striking models having skirts with circular tiers, alBH though many adhere to the pleated JHV flounces. H Velvets, like the poor, we have ■ I always with us. One finds them ■ printed or plain everywhere and in ■ I plain as well as "fancy" types, and ■ often contradictory array of silhou ■ ettes. This brings to mind the bustle, ■ | a n important outline for evening at Ml. least. ■ It would seem that it hardly seems ■ I necessary to define it’ since there is B ~n | y picture associated witli the B bust !• that is. distension at the back K I at the hips and waistline. The cur- ■ ' rent visualization is more subtle than ■ just that, for there is a very definite I treatment of it that identifies the ■ modern bustle. The most striking ■ I characteristic is the division at the I iback. which throws the puffed ful- ■ ness at eithe rside toward the hips, ■ rather than the protrudng fulness in ■ a single mass. ■ In this way, a gesture to preserve K the fiat or slim back is seen, as well ■ as a basis for suspending tile panels | and loops that motivate so many of ■ the skirt designs of this particular ■ style. I This divided line at the back is not ■ confined to bustles, for many tunic I skirts are seen with this treatment, k ' the edges being joined to the body I of the skirt, or reserving into long B pointed ends.
