Lightness, gaiety, everything that goes to express ""FB youth and vitality, T use as inspiration for JH these modes. For that is Indeed the spirit ;vf7B Of the debutante. CmHh In the semi-bouffant frock of crisp tat-fet tat-fet a, I am displaying thts week, this spirit fjnH Je expressed Note, if you will, the airy ffigjjB fullness of the skirt It has those tiny SEB '"circus" scallops in place of the regulation w&jHj Tiem. The underbodlce Is fashioned of yMj lace, over which a diagonal strip of the rSj&H silk material extends from one shoulder t e TOlst"11. ending there with a gay ij&SfH corsage of colorful flowers. gmiuB A semblance of unity is given by the m2H band of lace across the front of tho foun- .tfflH datlon skirt that seems but a continuation p(H of the lace bodice above. There is a strip sS&vl of the same lace that falls gracefully from SgreEI the opposite shoulder, contrasting exquU 2m eltely with the taffeta at Its side. uffiH 'Novelty Is expressed In the blocked ma-' ;jypH terlal I have chosen for the other model Wifl displayed.
