Show By Lady DufffQor(dloini i r Luc He") A WOMAN'S moods arc her privilege. " And, like her mind, she is permitted Hl to chancre them as she will. For these changing moods, I have de-signed de-signed the three distinct types of costume shown on this page to-day. When Milady seeks the quietude of her boudoir, away from the madding throngs of snrial affairs, there is the exquisite iiegh"gce of tissue, embroidered in gold thread. Its foundation is almost like a frock. Yet the simple lines and the softness soft-ness of its lacy fabric make it ideal for the uneorseted figure. Panniers of net float from the hip lines and are interrupted by bands of monkey fur that spray outward. A jewel, framed with the fur, is one of a chain of colorful flowers that tiims the bodice. Afternoon tea claims its mood, and for it, a special mode. The frock of georgette crepe, I am showing, is fashioned for this occasion. Button-holed in metal thread, the soft tunic that graces the sides of the skirt acts as its trimming. Witheut the addition of a cape collar at front, falling low over the blouse, and the long girdle terminated ni beaded fringe, the frock is simple enough. Panne velvet is what 1 chose to design the hat. The wide brim droops slightly downward down-ward to protect the eyes from Winter sunlight. sun-light. An uncurled ostrich plume is placed at an angle reminiscent of the toques worn by gallant knights of old. The brisk trotteur that the first days of Spring will demand when the air begins to send forth its balmy fragrance, will not be denied if one has a trotteur suit of distinction. distinc-tion. The box jacket of this light suit flaps gracefully against its frock of self material beneath. The pockets of the frock match, in plaiting, the pockets of the jacket. And the same plaited trim is used for collar and cuffs so that this two-in-one trotteur suit may be harmoniously allied.. J ADY DUFF-GORDON, the fa- mous '-Lucile" of London, JS and foremost creator of m fashions in the world, writes each i m week the fashion article for tins newspaper, presenting all that is newest and best in styles for well- dressed women. Lady Duff-Gordon's Paris es- I tablishmcnt brings her into close $ touch with that centre of fashion. p . -1 w " A "A 1 h R |
