NOTE OF GENTLENESS IS FEATURE OF NEWER COSTUMES

Empire Line Attained by High Waist BY HENRI BEN DEL Written for NEA Servlrr NEW YORK. Dec. 23.—The highwaisted mode has led inevitably to adaptations of the quaint and very feminine Empire lines. Moreover, the fuller, swaying grace of the new gowns has introduced a note of gentleness into the most severe of costumes. This is most noticeable right now in the fuller and more intricately made bodice portions of frocks. They tend to have blouse to them, rather elaborate neck decoration, and the sleeves of many gowns are quite the moot important feature about them. Along with this more elaborate notice of the bodices of costumes Comes the tendency toward some quite old-fashioned prints for Palm Beech wear that makes garments fashioned of them very different from any of last season's style. Colors Show Difference P'aids, rather conventional figures, dainty little sprigs of color against solid backgrounds and flecked materials that achieve tonal de )*h by use of many colors—these are used more for sports and daytimf things. Evening gowns prefer plain colors or dainty vivid patterns against pastel grounds. It is obvious by now that the Jacket suit is the important outfit for spring, be it in pajamas or evening ensembles. This insistence on jackets is utterly American and completely modern in that it is an insistence on a youth note, no matter how sophisticated the trailing evening gown may be. Combinations of color that introduce black is another new note for Southern resort wear and spring. I show such a gown today, an evening gown from Chanel which uses black lace and emerald green lace. The black lace is posed in rather fancy godets, with the green lace fashioning the body of the gown.

Verges on Empire Line This gown illustrates the tendency toward the empire line, one that only slender women should attempt, for nothing could be more devastating than an empire line on a figure that lacked cvelte grace and naturally curved lines. There is a little black lace belt on this gown that ties in a dainty bow knot on the left side. It is such a little belt, but it carries with it a feminine touch that acknowledges the softer notes of chic. One of the quaintest of new notes Is plaided velvet for jaunty little suits. One such combines green, brown, and yellow in its plaid and It. brings out the yellow by using flat crepe in that tone for the blouse that tucks into the skirt. The skirt is cut quite high in the waistline, with a little self-belt around at normal waistline, and the skirt extending above it. t The jacket has a slightly fitted waistline and wide, notched lapels Moreover it has a scarf of the velvet and yellow crepe. A green hat with a velvet band of brown, tops it—an off-the-face hat that is soft and flattering. Sport Garb Decorated The tendency towards decoration of sports things and the use of godets and circular cut for fullness, instead of pleats. both are illustrated in a figured woven jersey. Its colors are black, tan and red and two kinds of fine braid trim Its outer edges all over. The skirt has a yoke outlined in the braid which builds up to a normal waistline. The graceful cut of the coat is new. Also tht- way it doe not come together in front, benig tied at the neck by lit tie ends of the collar and hanging from it to reveal the tan flat crepe. The use of both braid and buttons is rather new' and pleasing this season, after so many undecorated garments for several years. The hat for this suit is of tobacco brown, with a brim for shade and a woven band of red and tan for lively decoration.

Helen Wills Married to Fred Moody Bv United Pnux BERKELEY. Cal., Dec. 23.—A wee bit more flustered than she would let on perhaps, Miss Helen Wills, the champoin of the tennis courts, went down to the marriage license bureau this morning with Frederick Moody Jr., young San Francisco stock salesman, to enter their names for the “doubles” in a life-long tournament in which love scores count. In the little St. Clement’s chapel in the Claremont hills at noon the couple stood before the Rev. Lindley H. Miller, New York, and spoke the vows of man and wife. The new Episcopal service that does not require the wife’s promise to obey nor the husband’s pledge of his worldly gods was read and then the young girl athlete, whoj£ record has been a sparkling and wholesome page in American sport history, w r as the wife of the scion of an old California family, disantly related to President Hoover. The couple went directly to the church from the marriage license bureau. Only six members of their immediate families were to be present. After the wedding the bridal party went to the bride’s home for a brief stay. Where the newlyweds will go then has been a carefully guarded secret. A honeymood on a yacht owned by a close friend of Moody was rumored, since it was learned the yacht had been prepared for a long cruise and Moody and Miss Wills of ten, had sailed aboard it. It was deemed likely they would cruise the southern coast. Miss Wills has announced she would continue to defend her crown in tournament play. She spent Sunday in seclusion at her Berkeley home, seemingly not noticing the stir her approaching nuptials was causing in social and sport circles.
