In Princess Gown
White Taffeta Evening Gown.
Favored Frock Not Affected by Downfall of Royalty. Women Cling to Some Version of This Type of Dress—New Evening Style. The general downfall of royalty seems" to have affected not one whit, the princess frock. Always there are WnwFffngWTWho cling to Some version of this type of dress. This ye&r there are quite a few New York
designers who are adopting the princess frock, states a fashion writer. Of course, the princess of this year is a very different affair from that tightly molded dress which policed the figure some years ago. Very often the distinctive touch is confined to one side and draping is arrangedso skillfully that the line is becoming to both slim and not so. A new evening frock is of white taffeta embroidered in silver and combined with silver lace, which gives an echo of the princess mode on one side only. Like so many of the evening frocks at present, an ostrich plume is employed as the climax of trimming. Both are as familiar in dress scenery as they are in desert scenery.
