FOR DINNER OR THE OPERA

The new velvets are almost as soft as. chiffon in, texture and the sheen of- them is exquisite. ' This beautiful dinner and opera gown has a tunic of brocaded apple green velvet over a

bodice and petticoat-of white satin — the contrasting effect being just now the fashion. On the skirt and small pointed train is the inevitable touch of fur. Beneath these soft slim gowns, only the softest of lace petticoats are worn and beneath the petticoat is a combination garment of clinging, woven glove silk. These soft garments come now in the same fine', beautiful woven silk fabric that embroidered silk gloves are made of, and nothing could be daintier or better fitting for milady’s wear.
