This is to be color season beyond
all else. In nothing is this more
marked than in the new trimmings.
Never have they been gayer. yet never
lovelier. so perfect has become the de-
signers art in harmonious blending
Of many tones. In fact, II you really
want to grow delirious with admira-
ton and indecision try to decide on
some particular applique or galloon
among the bewildering assortment.
from which choice may be made.
Few evening or house gowns are
without at least touch Of this COL
ored trimming. For an elaborate
white gown nothing could be lovlier
than new applique with flac-shaped
clusters Of small pink velvet flowers
with gilt centers. shaded leaves Of
green ribbon with gold and heavy
gold edging.
The most expensive lingerie blouses
are of the thinnest materials. and are
designed to be worn over colored silk
slips. a three-inch band Of .embroid-
cred batiste had its edges finished with
German val. lace and formed the body
Of the blouse, gathering in. as it did
at the belt. The three-quarter length
sleeves were made of endless frills Of
the same lace running lengthwise and
ending in snug cLi made Of batiste
and closing with tiny pearl buttons.
German val, lace about an inch wide
arranged in series of points makes
dainty blouse design. The space
between the points may be relieved
by lace .medallions, motifs or pin
tucks.
While elbow or three-Quarter length
sleeves are almost universally seen on
these blouses. there are a few impor-
tations from Paris that have long
sleeves. whose cuffs come we'll over
the back OF the hand. The upper part
Is full and deliberately trimmed. and
the extension from tue elbow to wris.
is tight fitting and plain save for the
bands Of lace or fine tucks that run
crosswise. Other fashionable sleeves
are finished below the bend Of the
arm with a straight band made to
match the blouse or a fanciful little
turned-back cuff. rounded or pointed
at the back, and lace trimmed.
Among the fancy silks one fnds an
abundance Of stripes-stripes in all
widths, stripes in white and color or
in two colors, stripes in contrasting
materials. such as satin and crepe,
satin and chiffon, satin and velvet.
Some Of the striped silks in light COL
oring are exceedingly pretty mater
ials for simple evening frocks, being
only moderately expensive and re-
quirlng but little trimming because Of
their elaborate designs. A particular
~ successful silk Of this type wss in
a soft shimmering texture of the rad
ium class and had a white surface
pin, striped closely with apple green.
At two-inch intervals ran heavy
quarter-inch stripes of the green
broken every four or five inches by
| little flower clusters of shades Of rose
and yellow.
The school girl who matches. her
hair, elbow and belt ribbons with the
color Of her necklace Of beads has an
.eye to pleasing effects, and carries
then of with no little grace.
| The hat of plated velvet ribbon
suggests lingerie style by shape and
frilly appearance. but instead Of the
flowers that bloomed upon the sum-
mer product, piece silk and ball pins
provide the decoration.
Soft Negligee Robes.
Pink-the soft, pretty shade that is
so near akin to Whites the favorite
color this year for negligee gowns
short or long, with or without petit
coats to match. Crepe de chine and
albatross divide honors about evenly
for the most costly robes, two mater
ials as radically unlike as anything
can be, yet both of them full of rare
possibilities of treatment, in entirely
opposite ways.
In the longer negligees empire ideas
rule, but any and every one Of them
is made with a fitted lining that
reaches we'll below the waist, over
which the loose, full skirt of the en-
pire-its fullness clevetly arranged
80 as to do away with any possible
bulkiness-falls In pretty folds.
A little puff Of chiffon, no more
than three inches wide at it's widest
point and edged with three semi-cir-
cular motifs of heavy lace, forms the
tiny sleeve of lovely ball gown. The
semi--circular edges of the motifs rest
against the arm forming the lower
outline Of the sleeve.
While some of the winter hats are
so piled-up as to merit the term arch
itectural. that has been applied IT,
them, many this eason are dainty lit
tie affairs Of feathers and lace, so
light and airy in appearance as not
even family to suggest the approach
ing winter days for which they are in
tended.
A gown worn at fashionable New
York wedding recently is described in
the New York Times. It was of very
heavy all over lace in the stylish
twine color. and was made up over
chiffon of the same shade. Around
