With the opening o% the concert
season, the feminine of the species of
music addicts begins to wonder justj
what would constitute appropriate
dress at Hill Auditorium the night of
Oct. 17.
If you are sitting where you have
to stretch your neck to see the pef-
former's feet, you may indulge in
a degree of formality which would
not be permissible in the top rpw
of the second balcony. A safe stand-f
ard to follow would be the long skirt I
and covered shoulders and back idea.
A black skirt of the new, uncrushable
velvet, brought to life by a gleaming
gold figured satin blouse would be.
absolutely correct for plutocrats with
first-floor center seats.
The reliable black skirt in crepe i
might also be contrasted with a velvett
top in powder-blue velvet. This par-
ticular blouse has short# sleeves.
smocked at the cuff and distinguished1
by the new Shiaparelli-pointed shoul-
ders. Covered buttons march down
the front, adding a tailored air to the,
soft fabric. A pink lace blouse, bright-;
ened by sparkling brilliants, might
constitute an alternate.-
The novel unmarkable velvet ap-
pears again and again in this season's
styles. Made up in a black full-
skirted model, its square neck and
puffed sleeves edged in Irish lace, it!
is suitable for almost any formal oc-
casion. Black velvet is fashioned in'
clinging lines in another dress and
unrelieved except by a band of bright
blue and green sequins around the
waist.
Lace is another of those happy con-
cert-going materials which never
mark or wrinkle. A formal of tur-
quoise lace, fitted on Empire lines,1
and contrasted by dubonnet velvet
ribbon, is made into an informal dress!
for your musical interludes by the
addition of a matching jacket, fast-
cned with little covered buttons.
Evening coats to go over your best i
dress seem to have more imaginationI
this year. The old stand-by black
velvet is still good, but more and
more wraps in dramatic jewel tones
are making their appearance. A royal
blue velvet cape with a white lapi, !
Peter Pan collar is dramatic for al
trek down the aisle, and a dubonnet
velvet lined with swishy taffeta is'
guaranteed to create a disturbance
before the opening notes ring out.
Short flared jackets in rich bro-
cades or moires are for those who
wish something a little different from
the popular velvet. And, of course,
a good fur coat is the perfect comple-
ment to a beautiful formal.
Those who will sit in the balconies
will do better to wear short dresses
and hats if they wish to feel in-
conspicuous. Tailored velveteens are
smartly casual. If you wish, how-
ever, to be more comfortable up in
the farthest reaches of the Auditor-
ium where the temperature is apt
to be rather high by the time inter-
mission rolls around, you might
choose a thin challis or crepe.
