CHEMISE FROCKS ARE FOR DAYTIME DANCES I Youth favors the chemise frork, and the eliemUe frork favors youth. Here is a dress in line blue serge Willi rlever white pitching and fat i mating blue-aiid-nliile tassels A Daily Fashion Talk b) Florence Rose Jl'ST why the oungfr generatjon has chosen the skimpy chemise fiock for afternoon dancing Jt Is not eactl- easy to see, but the fact lemalns that whei ever theie are oung girls gills just past the flapper age gatheied with their, escorts for da time dancing theie are sure tp be many of these new Bclmpy, stralght-up-and-down chemise frocks, that seem, to the sensible eje of middle age, most unsulted for dancing The narrowness 'of the skirt makes dancing difficult one would think and the shapelessness of the. frock from neclc to hem glvei less opportunity to show grace In dancing than -would a frock of more clinging lines. But for all that the chemise frock Is the thing for da time dancing when jou are twenty. Likewise It will be the choice of the smaitly eltessfd joting woman for the da j time street frock when she first goea outdoors without a topcoat. The one show.n here Is of a fine qual ity navy blue French serge. The chain stitching In white makes the frock very smart and makes It just a little dlffeient from the other one-piece navy blue frockB one sees. The tassels are In blue and while and are especlallj- effective. .At first glance jou might think that the frock had a panel In fiont, but when you look again jou will pee that the effect Is produced by the way the white stitching Is teimlnated In tlje blue and white tassels. ' The neckline la flnlsjted at the back with a collar of white organdie and folds of the organdie finish the long atralght sleeves. The hat Is narrow and small enough to be suitable for dancing, for in spite of the vogue for the large hat it will never ba popular for the daytime dancing houv It i of blue straw, with a small rolling brim of white straw.
