for > . .he more venturesome types alLgh the majority are less extreme i nd often hidden. A skirtless tennis f was another innovation, this Zed bv u white knitted sweater. I Vaturallv lounging pajamas were • wlu.led in the majority of collecI Ls and featured of course by Mary fcwitiky who shows her approval for contrasted trouser and coat modly The trousers, always inclined toward width in this house were ex•weratedlv wide because of low Zed godets. Having accustomed the smart world to the pajama at breakfast and even for luncheon and tea Nowitzki now introduces the dinner pajama, making it in one charming instance of pink georgette. Another sensational development of the recent openings was Patou’s introduction of the corset-fitted sil- ; honrtte and what is very much to the I point, reports are that those who ‘ saw this collection were greatly ini- ; pressed by it, the fitted lines being entirely in keeping wtth the whole | lend in dress.
