Style Creator Declares Season’s Evening Gowns Less Standardized, More Gorgeously Fashioned

By HORTENSE SAUNDERS [-"VIEW YORK, Dec. 12.—Day- ! I time and street clothes are 1 l 1 1 more standardized than i ever before and evening clothes are less so, according to Henri Bendel, New York designer and creator of style. “There is no set style,” he said, as we watched his mannequins pass by, forming a parade of fashion that dazzled and fascinated. “Skirt lengths vary. There are gorgeous brocades, velvets and beJeweled effects for those who wish to dazzle, and crepes and chiffons : for those who wish simplicity. There are wide or narrow skirts, bouffant or straight lines- There Is every color .and tint to select from. ‘The brilliant shades of red, green, purple or orange are as fashionable as the delicate pastel shades or white which is as popular as ever and black that never loses its prestige with well-gowned women." With such variety to select from, naturally women have an equal chance to select the wrong thing as well as the right. Velvets Are Popular “Velvets are the rage," Mr. Bendel sa.id. "But velvet is an unwise choice for the woman who buys but one ! evening gown a season or who ! spends a part of her winter in the south, because velvet can he worn only a part of the year, while chiffon. satin or lace is as useful in spring, summer and fall as in the winter. “An evening gown should be selected in relation to social ativlties. ■'lt should above all things be comfortable so you can be entirely unconscious of it. Any trace of self-consciousness ruins the effect. “Unless you are very young and lithe, do not attempt bouffant styles no matter how much they appeal to your imagination. Shun, ; too. the extremely diaphanous effects. “Chiffons and cobwebby fabrics are kind to youth, but brutal to age. Velvets, brocades, satins, crepes and the heavier laces have infinitely more possibilities for the | mature figure. Consider Your Defects “If you have your gowns made, | think twice before you alter any iinos on the mode! you are copying. Clothes have become very subtle and are easily unbalanced. A change in the neckline or a differ* \ ent sleeve may put the whole costume out of key. “Many of the most lovely gowns of this season have their own coats or capes to match, carried out in the material of the gown. Separate wraps of velvet, brocade | or lame are decidedly coatlike In ! effect- The cape Is less featured than it: other seasons. eo and lotto at B:3h p m.

His numbers were: “By the Window,” Tschaikowsky; "My Lips •\r Sealed," Bleichruan; "Thou’rt Like the Dawn," Von Wrangel; "If With All Your Hearts.” Mendelssohn; “Hymn to the Night,” and “Cuylng of the Waters,'* Tipton: and "Who Knows?"

,<r th GWlglQ LETTER FROF SYDNEY CARTON TO JOHN ALDEN PRESCOTT, CONTINUED She had evidently been contemplating suicide for a day or two for everything of her own personal affairs was put into perfect order and she left three letters, one for Karl, one for her mother and one for Leslie. Karl handed me the letter that was written to him asking me pathetically if I thought that he could have prevented the terrible tragedy. That poor old chap seems to have more trouble than he should. It almost makes one doubt the justice of fate when one thinks about him. Certainly he has been one of the best of men and certainly he has had great sorrows all his life, lie is a good examule of that old idea that "riches do not make for happiness.” Poor Alice’s letter to her husband was the most pathetic thing 1 have ever read. It commenced: “I can not live any longer, dearest: for I know that T am going mad. Oh, I have tried and tried to be sane and not give way to my terrible jealousies and bad temper. It has been less and less possible for me to control myself and I have known for some days j now that unless I make way with ! myself, some day I will do something much more terrible. 1 will kill *>ne or both of the two people I love the most, you and Leslie. For | the last three days a terrible specter i has haunted me, commanding me to i kill you both. “T knew that 1 should do this that ! day that I struck Leslie. I wanted !to kill her then. I saw red. Karl. I : was not myself for I reajly love my | sister finite as much. I think, as I do 1 you. She Is so weet. so generous i and so kindly. The only favor that I j can do for her is to put It out of ; my power to do her any more harm. "In a little while, Karl, you will forget me. for. although vou have teen very, very go* and to me. and al•hough you have told me you lnvd me. yet I know that you have never lov**d any one hut Leslie "Jtnn’t think for a moment, dear, that T think vou have heen disloyal to me in any way.

Martha Lee Says Man’s Thoughts Same ZOOO Years Ago as Now We hear a lot about the “new woman,” but never a word about the new man. For men are the same as they were two thousand years ago.

That was when the poet Ovid j wrote that “married life isn’t worth | the living.” I Doesn’t that sound like the stale j joke the fat comedians put over on ; us every year? And Socrates, the wise, used to go | out and sit on the front stoop and I look henpecked when his overworked I wife razzed him a bit, so all the 1 neighbors could pity him. And isn’t ! that exactly what your neighbor's j husband does sometimes? And dear old Euripides said “A woman should be bounded by the i street door,” or as we hear it today—- : "Woman’s place is the home.” Same Old Thing Dear Miss Lee: I have been married ix yearn and am 27 years old. My has* i band believes "a woman s place is in the home.” and he expects me to stay there * all the time. lie doesn’t even like for me ; to gro to a'show more than about once a ‘ month. I take grood car© of my home and our two children. It doesn’t take me ail day to keep my home in good shape, zu’.d stay* I i'.>£ home all the time just makes me dia- . like housework, and I used to like it. What can I do to make my husband let ; me nu out more? UNHAPPY. This is not the dark ages, when : men ruled their wives with an iron hand. Your husband is unreasonable. If he should stay home all day every day, or even stick at a desk all day without ever meeting new people, he would find himself stagnating. lie would be bored and | boresome, because his life would be limited to his own interests. Put it up to you rhusband that way. As long as you take good care of your home and children, he has no valid objection to your seeking some entertainment outside your home. Gossip's Victim Miss I/ce: I nursed in * family for a -•rent many ynrs I.aat year the -xife -1 And now soma of her friends are -■ I'-irif that T *> In lon* with the husband duruur her lifetime. I wasn't. But I am row, an*! am ifoing to marry him. Can’t I : do something to slop their talking? ASS. To pay attention to the unkind ■ remarks would only add fuel to the fire.
