white lace with blue brocade. white

a white lace with pale pink crepe de

the embroideries and the embroidered

dGce quite a variety of colors As has
been said. the lace boleros can be used
to good advantage on tea gowns. but IN
these days OF elaboration IL is a fad
TO emoroider the lace with colored
silks. and beads and in this way make
the jackets look much richer than when
the plain lace IS used.
The embroidered velvets are also ef-
fective and can be had In an endless
variety Of color and design. A most
charming gown is made Of pale mauve
satin, one OF the lighter qualities OF
satin that have been brought forward
this year. The body OF the gown Is
entirely OF the satin. with a band OF
embroidered velvet OF a much darker
shade of purple around the hem. The
empire style Is very marked in the
lines Of this gown. the fullness OF

copied in chiffon and lace.

SHOCKING NOW POPULAR FOR FRoCKs AND WAISTS

MOCKING still holds its own as
decoration for women's and chill
dren's garments, but now it Is min

let work. The most charming chill
drens frocks are trimmed In this
fashion. Women's separate waists are
also extensively ornamented with this
trimming, and beautiful one-piece
house gowns are now shown similarly
ornamented
These last are most attractive when
made of very soft and not too heavy
material. Nothing Is more charming
than crepe de chine, WOODEN crepe,
chiffon cloth and the numerous thin
yeilings now so popular. Soft silks and
satins are, of course, also most at
tractfve for this purpose, but perhaps
the crepes are the most beautiful Of
all
These garments have no Innings,
bones or stiffenins of any kind from
top to bottom and are in one piece.
They are usually cut round or square
in the neck, but they are also made
with high collars. which go up without
seams from the round yoke. Tho
sleeves are short and shocked In at

garment fit snuzly over the hips. Made
