ON EXTREME PICTURE ORDER

Parisian Design for Young Girl’s Evening Gown Can Be Made Charmingly Effective. Picturesque styles have been happily received for some time, but one of the gowns designed for summer which has just arrived from Parte Is so extremely on the picture order that one wonders whether today’s smartly attired young woman will really be willing to accept it. The gown has a plain, narrow skirt of thin batiste set on the belt with a few scant gathers. It is very short-waist-ed, and the bodice 1b almost entirely concealed by a huge fichu of the finest embroidered muslin. The fichu reaches almost to the belt In the back and crosses In front Just above the waist line. The sleeves are almost entirely concealed by it also. Thte model is now being copied in simple evening gowns for young girls, the materials of these gowns being either soft silks or flowered chiffons or nets.
