The SS term has a dual signlflconce. It Wj$ mean8 not- onl5r that the gowns them-solves them-solves have personality. It signifies that they are adapted to the person' '' allty of the wearer. Jfe There are many definitions of per- M'Wfk sonallty. The one that seems to me ' to cover beat the subject Is "that 7ft-' which constitutes distinction of per- feg. oon." Personality has always stood "Sfc4. to me for that quality or sum of qualities which sets the possessor apart from others, which gives him distinction. A good example Is the gown which you see on the largo middle figure. It is a satin tunic worn over a tulle harem skirt. Even the bodice, composed of wide folds of satin graduated grad-uated from the belt line on one side io beneath the arm on the other, is different in that It is finished at the lino of decolletage by a profusion of beaded flowers. The same motif appears appllqued on the satin of the tunic. Th? tunic Is made In simple lines extondlng over the shoulder, and may be termed scantily full as to the skirt. A ruche of the chiffon around the edge of the tunic gracefully grace-fully finishes It, giving the Illusion of lightness to the more substantial fabric The lower right-hand picture'scts forth a gown of distinctly ' different character. Made of filmiest tulle, with a very full skint and a double flounce across the shoulders and across the tight, short sleeve, and a moderately low, round neck, it has the qualntness of an old-fashioned garden party gown. Rows of narrow fur about the shoulders and hips provide a modern touch. The lower left-hand robe Is of dignified personality. Ono cannot conceive of Its being worn by a child-like young person. per-son. It has the straight lines that 3pell dignity. Its skirt is narrow, and the bodice Is but a continuation of the skirt.

A large ornament of ?! pgtt heavy silk embroidery fastens and defines the low bodice in &l front. The shoulder bands are of heavy beading. About the 3N1 top of the bodice is draped, as are many evening gowns of jl iP1 to-day, a softening mass of sheer white lace.

This constitutes "distinction of ' PrS m" ii 18 of b,ack net rIchly embroidered In bands of W chenille. The drapery Is caught up at the side in such fash- SfiJ ion as to display the chenille embroidery to the greatest ad- ? WJ vantage. Very modest is this parly gown, the collar of che- t coatee. The embroidery reaches to the elbows of the long 'f sleeves. i ."Yr41 m - f . i :5Jer |
