Flounces Add Charming Effect to Youthful Costume. -*• Choice Of Materials for Evening Especially Wide This Season—Chiffon ——- More-Popular Than Ever. Nothing is more becoming to the' slender young figure than the flounce, and flounces are more fashionable 'than ever. When they are daintily, cleverly- scalloped, the effect is even more graceful. A very lovely evening gown is of the palest rose satin, completely covered in silk tulle of a delicate ivory tint. The edges of the overdress are scalloped and bordered by a small bias a 1 illl ecru lace, draped slightly at each hip to"Torm miniature panniers. The decollete Is pointed at the back and very modestly round in front. Very short sleeves are finished in scallops. ’ Be sure not to have the neck cut very low. Nothing is such utter poor taste for a young girl as this expanse of chest. The arms, too, should not be •totally bare; a sleeve of sourer kind must always be worn. There should also be no beauty patches or extravagant hair combs or brilliant hair buckles or hair ornaments of any eccentric design;

For informal parties the choice is wide and catholic. Taffeta is still a great favorite, and the shades shown are ravishingly tempting. The rather firm texture of taffeta makes sary to cut the gown simply, so, that thiSTfl ihdfcbd an ideal fabric age. ■ ■ Chiffon wifi never *‘go out?* The~ _girl_who likes to look just a bit ent will have a graceful model of burntorange chiffon, draped over yellow chiffon and toned down with a touch of brown velvet.

There is a bouquet of rich autumn foli age with a smal 1 tangerine clustered among the leaves at the left side of the girdle. This model is to be worn by the dark girl, of course.

There is a wee gilet of pale green brocade, touched in silver and veiled in pale green chiffon upon the simple draped bodice.
