Gay-colored Gowns for April
Above are sketched a lightweight, coral-pink evening wrap belonging to Alice Joyce, a youthful dance frock worn by Kathleen Key, and another of Natacha Rambova's Paris costumes — black velvet cloak over gray velvet dress.
edges the flaring tunic. Mrs. Valentino says that skirts are either very long or very short in Paris. And as long lines are particularly becoming to her slender height, she has chosen the long skirt in all of her gowns. Another of her costumes is sketched at the right of the trio above ; this is a black velvet coat worn in combination with a dress of pale-gray velvet. Silver braid and buttons trim the dress, while a unique, shirred collar and sleeve-puffs, of silver brocade, are a feature of the flaring coat. A coat of this type could be very easily copied for wear in the afternoon or even in the evening, and the voluminous silver collar and the sleeve-puffs are a charming change from the usual trimming of fur.
Some very delightful and conservative gowns are worn by Alice Joyce in "Dancing Mothers." Miss Joyce is considered by many fans the best-dressed woman on the screen, and certain it is that her costumes, whether conservative or otherwise, are always in the best of taste. Two of her gowns are shown on the opposite page. The first, at the extreme left, has an overdress of flamecolored georgette worn over a slip of the same color.

Another of Miss Joyce's gowns is the second one from the right, in the same group. This also exemplifies the wide sleeve, but in a modified form. It is of hunter's green-silk poplin, arid like the other, has the new longtunic overblouse. A scarf of the same material is worn, and gold embroidery appears at the belt and on the cuffs.
Many of us have already seen on the screen the jaunty coat dress sketched on the next figure to the left. It appears in the production of "That Royle Girl," and is worn by Carol Dempster. A gown of this character is almost indispensable in the spring, as it is warm enough to be worn minus a coat without giving the appearance of too great haste in donning summer attire. This one is of tan tweed of an unusual diagonal block pattern. One of its smartest features is the loosely draped, high-necked white vest which is worn with it.
The coat below it is worn by Norma Shearer, and though not especially unusual in style, is unique in that Continued on page 98
