Dresses: The day dress is what the lady wears in town; it is mostly made up of two pieces, a blouse and a skirt, and most of these blouses are graced with sleeves that are short or reach the elbow.

Afternoon dresses, for their part, reach down to the ankle, which suits all the circumstances and occasions for which they are worn: a cocktail, a dinner, or a tea... These dresses may also be worn for the evening — though the preference is for dresses long to the floor.

Colors: The master of fashion, Christian Dior, still believes that "navy blue," together with gray, white, and sky blue, is for daytime; for the afternoon there remain black and red, with the preference going to the veined in all colors; while the evening colors are confined almost entirely to white and pale blue.

Hats: Two of the greatest fashion

designers are joining forces today, Jacques Heim and Svend: the first specializes in dress fashions and the second in hats. Svend has drawn the inspiration for this season's hats from Latin America: all are round in shape, and made of transparent, light mate-rials such as organza, mousseline, and varieties of straw. The colors are vivid and strange: blue, violet, orange, white and black and white. Hats this season are worn tilted slightly back, so that the new coiffure shows from beneath them.
