« To Know Mlle. Ash —is to have learned the knack of being perfectly attired at all times: T The more fas- tidious Milady is in the selection of her Fashion Chatter By Doret F any woman, during the winter, is unbecomingly dressed it will be "a strange coincidence and decidedly her own fault. The silhouette, in its foundation, is vague and undecided enough to: make it practical and becoming to! all forms and figures. ‘The type of dress in which, vague as it may be, the ‘body is a:.ore definitely set, is the evening ress.

She is ex- traordinarily clever in discovering ways of affecting the disguise, too, according to the testimony of those who dress the heads of the elect. Any puff whatsoever above the ears is equally out of fashion. The hair must be loosely arranged to follow the contours of the head in a fashion we have not seen for a, | Novel Accessories ETTICOATS are coming to be regarded as usecless adjuncts where knickerbockers may be substituted for them. The idea has gained a little favor with fashion followers who have taken up with " the lacy “knickers” to wear with evening dresses, reviv- ing a semblance-of pantalettes. The fringed scarf, which some makers’ distinguished with due re- gard to its Spanish origin, as the toreador, is worn on all possible occasions—at #tea dances, for the restaurant dinner and for formal scarfs have embroidered flowers in color and contrasted linings match. - A new tbuch is given to many a gown of yesterday by a fringed sash placed at the low waist line alr‘xd tied with long ends to trim the | skirt. \Negligesand French Lingerie, HE leisurely life of the Paris- ienne begins the day with |- a breakfast jacket of lace| and coral-colored chiffon. velvet, worn over a slip of pink! georgette trimmed with lace.
