Although the evening dress—pure r.nd simple—{‘Wimple*’ with a question mark) is more or leas banished front the wardrobe of young matrons and maturer women. It la still allowed

; to the younger set.

Every girl is entitled to her share of the little Joys of youth, and an evening dress means much in her young life. Naturally evening dress for the I youthful ia. or at least seems simple. Nobody want* to see “the girl he left behind him” sit down In dull np- , othy because her lad has gone to the • war. If she la down-hearted, she must I not proclaim It, and nothing will hearten hex more than her share of pretty clothes. Besides the wheel* of biud- ; nee* must be kept going. The lovely dancing frock shown hr the picture 1* warranted to contain nothing that might be better used try the shivering French and Belgians. It U only a gracefully draped skirt of l bright green satin under a bodice of

shown, tiringing to the floor. It Is Intended t» be wrapped about the shoulders and arms when Its wearer dances, or at any other time, except when she poses to show to admiring sisters bow this brilliant frock is made. The skirt Is draped in folds that cascade over the hip* and hangs in points at the l-ottom. The glittering bodice la of eh Intrusted with small green sequins and rhinestones. It Is extended Into points that end In a tassel over the hl[ - and supported by two narrow straps of satin over each shoulder. The pointed skirt allows a glimpse of light erry silk hose that match up weUVlth stiver slippers. Altogether this i: very brilliant affair, which can fcix Ily be classed as magnificent and Is therefore the sort of frock for the jtounc girt. It does not require the outlay <tf much money, and even the conaeJrntioos young matron might reeuaclU- herself tc Indulgence In It. Is DO rat SOT fpr.fcer to be downhearted—not to the extent of falling to look her best occasionally—In a simple evening frock.
