SEASON’S EVENING GOWNS REVEAL VARIATIONS IN LINES

Originality Displayed in New Modes By NEA Service PARIS, March 6.—There is great art behind the present mode in dress. Just as no two sculptors use quite the same technique for their masterpieces, so no two couturiers create new frocks along quite the identical lines. Nowhere is the variation in the art of creating gowns better illustrated than in evening gowns of the season. Evening gowns are always in the van of style. As they go at the beginning of a season, so do other gowns follow suit by the end of the season. They, by the very nature of their purpose, can afford to be extravagant. Material Affects Cut The way new evening gowns achieve their spring silhouettes is a fascinating study. There is the princess line with full flare below the hips. There is the tube silhouette with low flounced flare. There is the conservative Patou line of normal waistline, bloused bodice, and skirt fitted at the hips, but full below. The material used has direct bearing on the distribution of a gown’s skirt fullness and it general cut. If it is satin, it falls more gracefully in long, soft lines than when used in broken tiers. But chiffon, on the other hand, lends itself perfectly to the bolero bodice and tiered skirt there. Lace is the favorite fabric for the full, long all-around lines. Has Classic Long Lines Three very different evening silhouettes illustrate the use of varied materials and diversified cut. A spring green satin has the classic long lines, for which Lelong is noted, with slight drapery at the waist and a suggestion of it again at the low hipline. This gown has great distinction in its front and back straight punels. with the skirt, flounced to real width on both sides. Its bodice is simplicity perfected, with the drapery at the waistline suggesting a belt but. done so perfectly the belt is not needed. Another gown that has sweep to it, this one from Martial Armand, but a very different kind. Is a pink faille evening gown for a very young girl. It is princess, with a paneled skirt, cut in petals that flare at deep flounce height. Gives Even Effect There is originalty in the neckline, in the way the bodice is ornamented at the waistline in the back and in the all-around length which by its very curved cut gives the effect of unevenness. Across the back of the waist, suggestive of a modern little bustle, is a spray of beautiful wild roses, in their own tones, with green leaves presenting the only contrasting color. On one shoulder the bodice ties in its strap in a youthful bow. while on the other a strap, cut in one. with the bodice, gives a lovely smooth line. A third gown, one from Chantal, is extremely unusual in its peplum bodice, its bows and tiers of its own black. mousse line de soie. This gown’s material is so soft and delicate that its use of circular tiers, posed in curved line, with bows on either side, still preserves the feel of very slender body lines under it. It is very simple, yet utterly lovely and original.

Family Menu

BY SISTER MARY NEA Service Writer Perhaps no vegetable gives larger returns for the money than the colorful carrot. It's always in the market and usually very cheap in price, but it stands well toward the top of the list in food value. Carrots are rich in the minerals especially needed at this time of the year. Their vitamin content is high, comparing well with spinach. They are easily digested raw or cooked. Such an array of virtues surely makes this vegetable worthy of more popularity than it now enjoys. There are innumerable delicious ways of cooking carrots. They make attractive boats or cups for vegetables of contrasting color. Or cut in small dice and creamed, they serve as an appetizing filling for other vegetables. A little imagination and experimenting with seasonings will go far toward making this vegetable appreciated and liked. Lemon juice, the merest suspicion of onion a few gratings of nutmeg, a tiny bit of mustard, paprika and parsley, are a few of the seasonings that can be used to give a faint, illusive flavor to carrot dishes. When carrots are to be reheated, they can be scrubbed clean and cooked without scraping. Dip into cold water when taken from the stove and slip skins. This saves time as well as stained fingers for the cook. Classic Pump Correct early spring footgear emphasizes the chic of pumps. Blue ones are very good, soft browns and black and many of them wear little tailored bowknots of leather.

INTERPRETS

PAR Id. March 6. VV/'ITHIN six weeks one * Y will know what the fashionable woman has accepted or rejected. And how is that. Well, within these six weeks we will have the showings of the collections again—meaning the styles for summer and early fall. One does not have to be quite such a prophet as one had to be before the last collections, because it was then that the questions; How long? How short? How rotund? How tight? Where will the waistline be? were the bane of our existence! But now the final arbitrater, the fashionable woman herself, has given or withheld her approval from a sufficient number of ideas to enable the couturiers to guide their subjects accordingly. tt a a SO it is quite safe to say that the mid-season collections, now being designed, will show: Skirt lengths—short for sports, longer for tailleurs. medium and long for afternoon, depending upon the formality of the dress, and long for evening; a w'aistline with a tendency to depart upward from the normal, the bodice modified to suit the average woman; a subtle femininity in furbelows and frills; tulle, net, lace and printed chiffons for the dance floo;-; tweed effects in silks for daytime wear, it a a An Easter outfit ala Dahray. oh so chic and inexpensive and practical for spring, summer and

even fall! There’s a tweed dress, then a little jacket, which makes the dress and jacket become a suit, then a three-quarter length coat, which makes an ensemble —you'll like it, so better send that 2-cent stamp to the Dare Department of The Times for the illustrated leaflet that tells you how to make it! # # # I DON’T know what some of us are going to do about it —pray that the material buyers have the good taste to give us a chance. I suppose! Because matching in anything is no longer the mode, while harmonizing is imperative. The three-material ensembles commence as a rule with a plain tweed in sober colors for the coat, followed by a striped material with the introduction of colors for the skirt and a corresponding jersey, often in plaid effects, for the blouse. But all three are in the same colors and shades of colors, and one never can imagine for a moment that they don’t belong together. Au Revoir!

WHAT is the condition of the skin on your body? Upon examination you will find it has a very fine texture, soft and smooth. You are not troubled with all the thousands and one ills that affect the skin on your face. Is there any difference in the construction of the skin on your face and the skin on your body? No. You have exactly the same kind of skin structure on your face that you have on your body. Treat them alike and the results will be equally good. If you are well and have good skin on your body, but a less fine one on your face—do you know why?

Simply because your body is protected with clothing. Quite naturally you can not wear clothing on your face. So it must be your most sincere endeavor to find a method of applying cosmetics so that they will form a protective film to clothe the skin of your face at all times. Here's how you can apply a protective makeup. When you arise in the morning, wash your face with tepid, soft water and soap. This removes all that might be left on the skin from the night cream. You will use no cleansing cream in the morning. Next, wet your face with real cold water and keep it wet while you are applying your foundation cream. This is done by rubbing a small amount of the cream directly on the face. Place a dab on the nose, cheeks, chin and forehead—then apply a little to the palm of your hand and, working from the center of your face outward toward your ears from the hairline on your forehead down to just the turn of your chin blend the foundation cream thinly and smoothly. This foundation makeup will stay on all day without need of ever touching your face again. It protects the skin, keeping it soft and fine acting as a base for your rouge and powder.
