Medalliona. open-work blocks. mohaii
and other silky wool bradds in applique
effects ara very fashionably used az a
garnduure for stnllssh cloth costumes. This
form OF trimming is newer anil more dressy
than flat nows of braid. although this
simple form OF dencuasdon is still in favor.
The medallion scroll and ararossaue style OF
urnamentation appeal more especially to
women who are fond OF color and elaborate
effects. and 1t IS ait this season OF the year
that brilliant tones are most effectively
and approprately worn. These new APP
pliques give marked effect to the gown, but
they also add considerably to the weight
of this dress, especially the deep border
patterns In silk cord, alternating with Van
Dyked designs in Jet The best choice are
tho novelties in feathcrweight mohair
weaves.
