Little Secrets to Watch Over Your Elegance for the Holidays

أسرار صغيرة ترعى أناقتك في الأعياد

This month, Madam, is your appointed meeting with lights. And gaiety. And hope. And invention... So make ready for its rejoicings, its holidays, its evening parties. Make ready for everything new.

For these occasions we have chosen for you a collection of gowns for the evening, for the afternoon, and for cocktail parties, to make you more attractive. More joyous. More radiant.

And if we carry you back to what our mothers loved — mousseline, and crepe, and the color black — we are leaping with you to the very summit of splendor in the occasion fashions of 1958.

Do not forget these little secrets:

1 — In the evening, wear a necklace of colored, sparkling stones. And long white gloves. And a slender heel.

2 — At midday, a silver or gilded chain, and a dress with a white collar of satin or organdy.

3 — At cocktail parties, a mousseline scarf harmonizing with the color of the dress; knot it at the breast and trim it with two stars of strass, or with any ordinary pin that glitters.

4 — Carry with you your black leather handbag.
