E V E at E V E N I N G An Empire air to this wide-spreading frock of whispering Celanese rayon taffeta. The perk jacket has pouf sleeves and highlights of gold leather applique with gilt embroidery. About $15.00 at Franklin Simon in New York, Greenwich, East Orange; Carson, Pirie, Scott, Chicago. D RAMATIC color . . . good lines! That's the secret of an evening gown that makes heads turn! Remember, in choosing yours, to find a frock that's true to your type. Are you petite? Let your costume concentrate on the soft, feminine taffetas and crisp nets that show off dainty proportions. Are you tall? Glittering metallics, sumptuous velvets and satins are ideal. Are you fuller in figure? If so, keep clear of stiff fabrics that stand out, shiny-surfaced ones that catch the light. Choose, instead, dull crepes and suave fabrics that conceal flatteringly. And just a word of warning, please. Watch that posture! The loveliest gown in the world looks like nothing at all when you enter a room slouching. Silver Screen
