prepare for thi this CLEVER intermediary season with a rep re- re 1 freshing new frock or two well knowing that street as aa well as evening costumes have a way of looking sadly bedraggled at this time of year Designers scenting this pressing need have prepared a multitude of lovely frocks models with flowing lowing lines and andrt and andr rt r arresting new details to distinguish them from the modes of early winter I Owing to the continued use of the 1 flare in its various forms these new season I mid season costumes seem at first glance but repetitions of earlier modes There I 1 are no startling changes in silhouette no radical differences in such important details as skirt lengths waistlines or sleeve lengths The main departure lies in an in- in increased in increased creased regard for elaboration and in a amore amore more profound appreciation of the sub sub- subtle sub subtle tle tic nuances of color The Paris season mid-season collections offered of- of offered of
