| "A new frill of fashion Is the ise OF
black satin or of black velvet mar
frowS ribbon. Its use is found on the
collars, on the belts, on the waist
or anywhere, where it will create a
distinctive not. Some of the newest
of the lace collars are finished with
bit of satin ribbon with long ties
at the end of which are tiny bows.
Sometimes the lace is slashed and
eyelet holes to allow the ribbon to
be drawn In and out in some eccen-
ttric patterns and the belt is usually
done in similar manner. OF course
| a lace belt must have heavy buc-
ram lining to keep it in place and
give 1t body enough SO 1t will not
wrinkle. This touch of black is seer
on waist coats in the trimmings of
the gown itself and in the hats.
II you wish to make your woman
friend rather new little gift, get a
piece of fine handkerchief linen, fold
it over hemstitch one side, make it
Just as deep as little frill to go in
side of a shallow collar. Such frills
are very fashionable and somewhat
resemble the little tucker frills our
grandmothers used to wear. Such
frills instead of being hemstitched
may be embroidered or feather
stitched either in white or colors.
Fluffy neck-wear is a prediction
for the future and then let the short
or full-necked gowns beware.
There are shown some new bags
and purses in a beautiful oriental
embroidery, sometimes called Chinese
embroidery. sometimes Indian em-
broidery. A few really servicable
purses are shown in bead work. The
clasps are of heavy metal and the
newer designs are very simple in
design. A neat little bag wad dew
eloped from some cretonne showing
green and brown tones, and each en-
broidered in brilliant tones with an

one side with burnt leather mono-
gram and a heavy gold clasp and
chain. The costume worn with this
was green and brown serge, trim

decorated with green velvet loops
and brown fur tails accompanied the
costume. Palmer bags could be con-
structed over buckram and hung ON
brown cords for shopping purposes
and very elegant ones may be mads
for the matinee.
Handkerchiefs. The shops are
full of them, of all kinds. and though
many women for utility purpose hang
to the plain old fashioned hemstitch
handkerchief there are many other
designs. A white handkerchief
bordered with four or five lines of
color. or the corners decorated with
a triangle of colored dots, some have
worked border. BeautafuI
designs are emproidered or set in in
some of the favorite fine varieties,
whole lunches of flowers, spray of
pink rosebuds, cluster of violets,
or clematis. Again there are offered
