Includes quips on disasters, beekeeping, and early wireless scoops.
The article reviews fashionable evening wear focusing on warmth and lightness with silk lace crepe de chine and quilted linings. It highlights a blue gauffre coat with chiffon cape, panne velvet wraps in mauve, and white fox trim. Extravagant fashions emphasize heavy trimmings and real jewels, with pearls and floral embroidery dominating current styles.
A fashion column discusses innovative bridal net fabrics and pale pearl gray satin, suggests individual handwork for unique gowns, and notes popular accessories such as black velvet ribbons and gilt spangles. It also covers hats, mink coats with jet bead details, and a maroon velvet illustrated hat. Woven with health tips, the piece ends with dress care and rest advice for tired women.
In a Sun profile, women brokers in a Midtown office share hard won experience.
