i>UAOOWlANU Bouffant evening gown of jet and silver, vivid red frills, faille taffeta done with outstanding draperies faced lace bodice; black velvet . , . r ° , f,,. sash, lace underskirt. Wlth blue or brilliant green. From Bonwit Teller and Remarkably pretty are the Company simple evening frocks of vel vet which are being made for young girls. Low-necked and sleeveless, the corsage usually straight across the top or rounded with rather a broad strap over the shoulders, they are made of ruby or geranium, yellow or black velvet.
