Some Pretty Fads.
Girdles are made OF Six which is stiff
! fened and cut to a point in the middle
/ of the front. This girdle is hand en-
| broidered. and shows the loveliest of
| green flowers 10 match the green trim
mings OF hat and gown.
Brown, which has held its own so well
all summer. is to be a still more popular
shade for winter. and both seal brown
/ and navy blue Will lead in fashions

The dot. always so fashionable, is
/ coming in, ard. where there was one
dotted gown before. there Will now be
a dozen. The dot, TO be fashionable,
must look as though done by hand, for
| il is the hand embroidered dot which
makes the gown chic.
Black taffeta dresses. with a large
hand embroidered dot. well raised from
! the surface, are the neatest gowns that
can be found. and what is more in their
| favor they are fashionable for all oc-
casions. They can be worn for dinners
J or for luncheons. or they can be made
up for evening

a tracing of white.
And here is an important thing to re-
member. also: Let there be some en-
broidery or a lace application upon your
afternoon shir. waists.
Take your waist of black crepe de
chine and purchase for it two yards of
white lace in heavy leaf pattern, with
small raised white mowers. SET pane
down the front from the neck TO the
belt. Then place band or II across
! the yoke in such a way that the trim
ming will extend over the shoulders and
down or the sleeves. Let the cuffs and
! the stock be trimmed in the same man

wheels Of lace. and wheels OF
/ silk. Let the wheels be about the
/ size of a silver dollar. and. in the
middle of each. set a small button. The
| lace wheels have IN the center another
/ little wheel of lace. and for evening II Is
