MODES THAT ARE NEW.


MODES THAT ARE NEW. -
,ome stunning Examples Of Garments IN
Black and white. 1t
Somehow a lace collar Is not only g
beauty spot Of itself, but Is OFTEN ca {
pable Of revivifying a hopelessiy COIL
bodice.
AS for shapes. they are of every va
riety. There are tabs in front. or IN
tha back, or even over the shoulders.
and there are collars SO round tnat
there's no suggestion Of tabs.
While the real lace collars are a JOY |
to the heart feminine. yet there are
many limitations which are not oniy
attractive. but which are worn Dy
good dressers. Some OF these coiiars
come as low as dollar. though these
should grace nothing more ceremonial
than a dressing sacque or lounglng
robe.
These two prime virtues in the field
Of fashion are actually found IN one
new evening wrap. which was seen
upon a woman of distinction. i
An Empire ulster comes the nearest
to describing the shape OF this iuxur-
,ous garment, which Is one splendid
sweep of black uncut velvet. Not one
enlivening touch does 1t show until
YOU come to the black chiffon accor-
dion pleatings which edge 1t down the
fronts and form the tall collar; under
these there are foamy white chiffon
pleatings which give an exquisite
touch and seem to be part OF the
lovely lining of crepe-like, white SATIN
brocade.
You can hardly imagine how distin-
ruished this garment is. and while as
"ouiet" as any one could desire. Its
white lining makes it safe covering
for the most delicate dress.
Another stunning maybe creation Is
an evening dress composed entirely OF
alternate inch-wide tucks of black
and white mousseline, made over
white.
The tucks are let loose to form
'round-the-feet fulness and the trlm'
ming consists of ribbon and chiffon
roses en- applique. This novel garni'
ture. the roses shade through cream to
pink. takes a spiral turn round the
skirt. while 1t forms frame for the
decolletage and white mousseline
front Of the bodice.
While some bellies favor the revived
eardenia, with its fragrant colorless
: ness. many more have adopted tina
!. delightful fashion Of wearing one o.
more roses In their hair.
, Red roses are the favorites.
Some choose one glowing beauty
others take from three to five.
And there are just two places 10
them. With the high coiffure they mes
u tie at the left of it. and with the 10y
r one they (more usually one, though
are set Just down behind the left ear.
Just as the appearance Of splendi
