pretty Evening gowns

Two pretty evening gowns are shown here which may be made of any of the supple materials suitable for evening wear. Silks, crepes, challies and mulls offer a wide variety in choice. The necks may be filled in with shadow lace made with yoke and high collar, or the Dutch neck. Plain fine net makes a lovely guimpe, with round Dutch neck gathered into a row of rhinestone beading or a narrow strip of passementerie.

Laces, embroidered bands, ball trimmings, and ornaments, used sparingly, made up with the fabrics already mentioned, make the petticoat gowns. There are many shades of blue, pink and yellow, some of light green and of lavender, which are bewitching with delicate laces. An over-draping of chiffon is .often used, and small roses, made of silk or chiffon, are among the most desirable decorations for these alluring party gowns. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.
