PLEATED SKIRT
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
in Paris there 18 a decided move
ment in the direction of pleated skirts
for formal evening dresses. The
thought back of this trend Is to use
soft supple materials and the slightly
sunburst silhouettes is favored instead
of straight wvpand down lines. The
dress here shown is of violet colored
dull- surfaced crepe, and It has the
new slashed sleeve and the back bow
treatment which so frequently Is em

FOR WINTER WEAR
There Is increasing talk of gray and
of how smart it is to be this winter.
This Is good pews to those who like
the color and love to wear it. So far,
however, it remains in the “high fash-
fon™ class rather than in that of the
so-called popular colors. Gray is never
a color to be worn generally, as a
matter of fact. It Is not particularly
becoming to all women, and not al
ways very practical. But It is a very
exquisite color for those who can
wear It in the right way.
Wearing it the right way means
wearing It with the absolutely perfect
accessories, for it is easier to spoil a
gray costume, it seems to me, than
one of any other color. For one
thing, gray must be decidedly clegant
or it has no character. And every-
thing that goes with It must be in
keeping,
just look like an off-color,
