Stream-Lined Version--and evening dresses. The French gob has his pomped cap bor-
boried to pattern a black crepe, the cap is blue and the pompoms red.
Striking lines mark the styling of this new evening ensemble of white satin. The gown is made low-cut, and the skirt is a streamlined version of the panniers of colonial days. The short fitted jacket is fastened at the waist with a huge self-covered hook and eye.

Things in print in Paris that ignore the censor are swank patterns on spring crepes.

IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE!!
Not quite everything stopped for the tea that the Jay Janes held this afternoon for all University women interested in wearing the Jay Jane insignia.
