How TO BRIGHTEN BLACK SILK DREssEs.-To
brighten black Silk suits for young ladies great
deal OF color has been used during the summer
and will reappear in winter dresses The CAV.
est design Is the Scotch plaid trimmings OF vel.
vet In regular clan-tartan patterns that form
paniers, borders, vests, a wide belt, cuffs, and
collars. The gay Stuart and Rob Roy plaids that
have great deal OF red and yellow are liked by
brunettes, while the blue and green mixed
plaidS are used by blondes. Dresses made for
less youthful ladies have the trimmings OF SOFT
twilled silks. brocaded In Persian patterns OF
many rich colors and OF most intricate design
AS these silks are soft, they make graceful full
dIaperteS, such as shirred vests, or eurpllce
scarfs, or the new shirred guimps that are I'm
serted like plastrons In squares or In points.
The only oVerskirt then consists OF a short
wr1nkled apron OF the gay silk that Is In fun

pufIed bow, or else fiat sash with long ends.
II this leaves long plain front OF the lower
skirt uncovered, Ii is no matter, as all that Is
required by style Is simple border 1ounce or
else cluster OF narrow friils massed at the
bottom. Embroidered satin trimmings are per.
