UKI^MAIOJNC* AT HQJKLEL By SYLVIA. A Pretty Evening Gown. Here is a. design for a frock which, whiIsi ■aided to any form of terpsichorean exercise, ia eminently adapted to dancing viiat form of it which is the oraze of the moment, viz.. the Tango, a.nd for that reason No. 1.742 might be named the Tango design. For the realisation of ithifi frook «oft satin, chiffon, lace, and fur are needed. The former chiffon, lace, and fur are needed. The former I is required for the skirt and the very small bodice of the frock, whilst the chiffon and 1-ace are required for the tunic and over-bodice, the lace. or boaded net for is veiltd with the chiffon. and t,he fur forms tho deco- rative and modish finish to the tunic, bodice, and sleeves. A wide belt of the satin encircles tho wa and if, finished, off -it the lefit side with a silk rose. As to a scheme of solourincr.this, of course, r!i"D<-flt;, entirely on the I wearer, and ..die should be sure 'to choose what suits, her best. as such a frock can be rcaliserJin liny sharJ" or shades that hai-inc.nise as may be preferred. The present taftt-e is for somewhat violent contrasts in the colour sob erne. For instance, one very smart, own was of apple-jTreon chif- fon over white satin; another had a$<lraioed tnnie of 'bright salmon- pink velvet over black; whilst purple and red were allied in a smart; but not over-successful orown T saw at a recent parade of fashion. The accompanying two din-grams show the best net-hod of arranging the various portion; of the paittern on 1J, yard of double-width satin and If yard of chiffon. If I required fuller, join on ft little extra at lower edge of front and slope out to meet the t'dgæ. PATTEKN No. 1,742. i5>« skint is shown in No. I., from which you •ee that it is one of the new one-piece affairs, ihaped at the sides by a dart, the remaining ful- ness being arranged in gathers at the waiet-part of back and in folds on the right eide of front, which fastens over at the lefit side. Before cutting out, ascertain whether or not the pattern needs adding to or subtreating from in length and width of measurements, and then allow foT these, also the neoeseary turn- ings, after mat-king round the'outline carefully. Now t.ake the skiit in hand, tack and stitch the eide darts, turn in and hem the edge, which will look prettier done with" knot" 6titch than bv machine; fold the fronts, gather the. baok, and secure this to a. stout and rather wide band of petersham. The bo-dioe is (to be made over a founda- tion of lace or fine chiffon, as the material por- tion in the great majority of evening bodieea only extends beyond the waist in the form of a girdle, either straight or pointed, and most fre- quently the latter. In the case of the gown sketched it extends from each aide of the vest to the centre back, DIAOSAMS FOR PATTERN No. 1,742. where it rises and follows the line of the tunio at the- baà. Turn in and hem the front edges, and finish off the sleeves in the same way as .the fronte. Now make the vest, gathering this at the top to the correct size, arrange to the right edge of bodice; then ncaten the left edge, sew small preee-studs to the left edges, and then sew on the fur to prevent these stretching. Hem the fronts of the itunie. which should be done in knot-stitch, using twist of the same oofcuir; turn up and tack and finish off the hem of the lower edge, and sew on the fur. Arrange the bodice on the band, al«o the tunio, yhioh will have to be left loose and neatened from the le-ft side to the centre front, where it hooks over; then sew fimily together, arrang- ing- it to set nicely and easily; ("ew on the fasten- ings, then finish off with the hand as in the sketch, and neaten the upper edge of the vest with narrow ribbon. The tunic and sleeves in the sketch are de- corated with a row of loofe chnin-steitch worked in coarse silk a couple of inches above the fur edginjj. A CorafortablH Hood. I have lefit myself but little s.paoe to refer to the very comfortable hood sketched in No. 1,743, which is intended either as an adjunct to the evening gown sketched above and the cloak which ,was illustrated some little while back, or for ordinary winter wear. For those who live in the country, as well as th-oae who contemplate undertaking a visit to Swit- zerland for winter sports, it is just the" thing. For evening wear, soft silk with cfhiffon ends are my intention; but for "sporhs" wear, as also for the country, the affair could be made of soft, light, woollen material, faced in both cases with PATTEBN NO. 1,743.
