6 SOCIETY. THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. JANUARY 1. 1928—PART o Fashion Bows Gracefully - 'To Latest Designs in Dress Leaders in Social World Gladly Adopt Scarfs and Floating Shoulder Draperies Decreed for New Year. Bolero Models Popular With Matrons. There is, perhaps, this season no other model which is more popular with the leading hostesses of Washing- ton than the bolero frock. Krequent- ly the bodice and skirt are a combina- tion of two materials, the skirt of velvet and the blouse of brocade or chiffon, Mrs. Edward W. Eberle, wife of Admiral Eberle, and one of the best dressed women in Navy circles—all of her costumes being imported models | —Is wearing an effective gown of white crepe romaine fashioned along straight lines with the sides of the skirt cut in points falling several inches past the hemline of the back and front. The gown is lavishly embroidered in silver spangles and beads the design about the waistline, giving the holero effect and tiny bunches of the beads are artistically festooned on the frock. ually Mrs. Eberle wears a tulle scarf to correspond with the gown she wears. Mre. George Barnett has a becom ing gown of black crepe, made boler style, with which she wears a soft chiffon scarf in a black and white design, and a small hat of black satin. Mrs. Frederick H. Gillett, wife of Seator Gillett, wore to a reception at “Long may they wave," the leaders of fashion exclaim, as they wear with such success the scarfs and floating shoulder draperies which have come forward with new zest at the ap- proach of the new year. Scarfs are not new, generally speak- but are distinctly new in their variation of materials and colors. ‘Without doubt for those who will #pend the remainder of the Winter and Spring here, and those who will depart or have departed for Southern citles, these accessories are the most considered articles of the costume. For the present our attention is directed toward the chiffon scarfs worn with velvet and velvet and chiffon costumes and omnipresent satin ones. These scarfs are trim- med at the edges either with rows of fringe or deep hands or narrow rows of fur. Even in the evening the scarf flaunts filmy presence on the evening gowns. either as an integral part of the gown or an “added touch.” Even the debutantes have fallen under the spell of the elusive chiffon scarfs, al- though it is true that they are apt to tie them in a huge bow arranged to| come at an intriguing angle at the back of the neck or on one shoulder. uite apart from the separate ncnqrf. ‘et of the aame variety. are |the Congressional Club a tailored en the countless arrangements of |semble of mauve wcolen fabric and a small hat fitting closely and worn quite far over the eves. Bouffant Frocks Hold Center of Stage The bouffant frock and robe de style continue to hold the center of the stage with Washington's bouquet of rosebuds, the debutante selecting almost invariably a gown designed in that dainty period style. Miss Hester Ann Lefevre, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. Lefevre and one of the season's most popular debutantes, selects many of her eve. ning frocks after bouffant models. Thursday evening her parents gave a delightful supper party for her at the Carlton Hotel, and she was particu- larly lovly in a pale pink period frock, made with a very long and full skirt, shorter at the front than at the {back and sides, the bodice designed with semi-dropped shoulders. She car- ried a bouquet of rosebuds, arranged with a lacy frill. The Mlles. Claudel, charming daugh- ters of the Ambassador of France and Mme. Claudel, wear many striking Paris creations. Quite frequently when Mlle. Marie Antoinette Clau- del appears in a straight lined Reine Clau- del will select bouffant frock. Mile. Marie Antoinette Claudel wore to an evening party recently a dainty frock of black chiffon, the skirt made of soft pointed folds of the material and the decolletage fashoined of pale pink chiffon. Mile. Reine wears a wrap of jade green velvet, the bloused back forming graceful sleeves and the collar of the material fluted. Miss Emily Ecker, debutante niece of Mrs. Richard Douglas Simms, 1. ore to one of her sister bud's bowing party a frock of violet blue chiffon velvet, charming in its simplicity. The bodice was made with an o neckiine and the skirt, quite short, was shirred to the bodice | in such a manner as to effect a deep | girdle, going In diagonal manner and | falling just a little ,out of line at the side, where a cascade of the velvet falls a trifie lower than the skirt, Miss Rebecca Davidson, debutante daughter of Mrs. John C. Davidson, wore to Miss Le Fevre's supper dance ‘Thursday a gown of black transparent velvet made severely plain, with an oval neckline and a circular flare in the front of the rather short skirt. Miss Davidson is wearing a smart tailored morning frock of leaf brown Jjersey, made with a tailored collar, and embroidered in burnt orange wool in Egyptian palm design. With this she wears a leaf brown hat of felt and a raccoon sport coat. shoylder draperies of tulle lace and| chiffon. metal tissue or the material of the gown. Sometimes these are as narrow as ribbon or so wide that they simulate the cape. For wear with sport costumes the newest scarfs are either oblong or square in shape. For next Summer we are told that these oblong pieces will be of voile for wear with cotton or silk sport costumes. They will shade from the edge in wide stripes from deep colors to the pastel shades in the center. and will further be ornamented with a small plaid design in white. Quite unusual are the tulle scarfs painted with water-colors in gay and colorful designs, the tones used in many instances corresponding with the colors of the gown with which they are worn. Mme. Matsudaira Wears Smart Brown Ensemble. Mme. Matsudaira, wife of the Am- bassador of Japan, selects her cos- tumes with exquisite taste, more often from the conservative models, which are in many instances almost tailored. Mme. Mateudaira wore at one of the ~most unusual and interesting recep- tions last week—that to the Japanese 40ll ambassadors—a gown of leaf brown Juster satin, fashioned along straight “ lines, with fitted sleeves and a square neckline. Her hat was of black satin, a medium size model, and an effective #carf of crepe in shades of brown feompleted her costume. L Mre. Walter F. George, wife of “Senator George of , wears & striking gown of brown velvet and gold brocade, the skirt designed in a slight- 1y draped model of the velvet, and the bolero bodice of the brocade, She wears with the gown a gold metal eloth hat, carries a handsome handbag to correspond, and thrown softly about her throat a rf of chiffon in shades of tan and gold Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, wife of the Speaker of the House of Repre- pentatives, spends much of her time t the Capitol, and her costumes for ese occasions are striking in their ndividuality. One day she wore a vy biue suit of a woolen material, Beverely tailored, and her blouse was ot fine knitted wool and silk in blend- ing tones of blue. Her hat was a small fitted model of blue feit to match the suit. Miss Victoria Tytus, debutante @aughter of Mrs. Tytus McLennan, Wwas seen strolling down Connecycut avenue wearing a black satin coat, severely plain, with collar and deep ecuffs of light fur, and fitted black feolt hat. model her sister Mlle. a Fernando y Sivela y de Tordesillas. | The l?rm;h bachelors have suffered| - 3 recently from the pranks of Cupid,| In Dlp]om.tlc corpl | but they still number seven, and they are a unit in hospitable endeavor.
