All-white glittering evening frocks like all-black evening frocks seem to transform some wom- en, giving them liance and distine- tion that_they would lack entirely in colors.

White satin slippers—also with flesh-colored stock- ings—and silver slippers with flesh- red stockings are worn by smartly dressed women abroad.

They have had the attack and seemingly have become immune. For the nonce smart women seem to be satisfied with these abbreviated skirts.
