The separate waist and skirt has few social possibilities for it cannoi break into an afternoon reception, at the dansant, a shopping trip or a dinner True, the separate waist. when worn with a suit, finds a place at the informal noon luncheon, and the matinee mati-nee that is about all f the costume is to be varied it means another expensive suit and more blouses to be worn with it The one-piece gown oes eer where. For a dansant this simple frock of pompadour pussy willow taf feta is charmingly appropriate. The Mother Hubbard bodice is shirred on a yoke of white net, and the skirt, which is gathered to the high waist line, holds a series of narrow bias ruffles of the silk, each being edged with black velvet ribbon. This samp ribbon outlines the yoke and short puff sleeves, while an inchwide rib bon forms the belt The silk has a peach colored ground with Dresden flower groups in violet and green. More brilliant silks or gauzes with interwoven gold and silver threads may be used in the construction of the one-piece afternoon gown.
