Trimming on trimming is the way trim
ming is used these days. Velvets, braids,
silks, venetian bands, appliques and buttons
are all in vogue. Velvets are very popular
Moire silks are extremely stylishand the new
venetian bands in the cream especially are
awfully scarce because they are in great de-
mand. The new Delineator shows much use
for appliques too. You might be assisted by
the Butterick plates in planning the new dress
