The sashes and bows were of exquisite novelty ribbon in lovely color. A New Evening Gown just arrived in the Fashion Salons does just as Jenny says. Its long slim lines of pale mauve Georg- ette crepe are relieved by a great flaring bow of mauve moire ribbon that shows « delicious rose colored lining. This double-faced ribbon forms the girdle, too pulled well down over the hips with that new peculiar line. The Gown Itself is embroidered in a perfect shower of frosted crys i motifs and in straig! i is but a mere whisper of sleeves another Paris note--and the deep V-neck shows a glimpse derbodice of silver cloth. Vivid Jade Color Jenny, as well as other great houses, has shown a strong pre lection for vivid colors in a very high key. The most favored of CaS these is a brilliant jade green— that green which is neither blue nor green, but a great deal of both. A Gown of jade color, decidedly unique and strangely beautiful, has an abso- lutely straight chemise of that wonderful jade chiffon made over a narrow undergown of the same material and confined by a belt of green and crystal beads. There are no alecves at all, and the decided Lanvin neckline is outlined by green and crystal beads, while similar beads en- crust both the under and over- gown.
