able than a stately brocade or satin
which win stand alone. In fact. the
very nlmy. clinEfnE fabric which
seems practically without body. over,
laid with fine stitchory In which not a
line of machine work Is shown. Is the
correct thing Tor present day needs.
There is much talk about simple ef-
fects In 1905 frocks. but the simplicity
Is hard 10 fnd. To be sure. the lines
themselves are simple enough.
Skirts 20 all intents are plain. often
absolutely devoid OF trimming. but the
blouses and wraps make mp for the Sc
verify Of the skirts. Neither IS there
any simplicity TO be noted In the trim
mings used. which are trimmings upon
trimmings. embroidery upon lace. or
even lace upon lace.
One OF the needle-work fads which
gives most pleasing effects Is that OF
touching up laces with a bit OF deli.
cately tinted hand embroidery. An in
expensive imitation cluny or hlet lace
can be made charming by embrolder-
ing over part Of the pattern In color
or doing a stamped pattern upon the
lace.
Hours can be spent IN simply hand
running tucks. shocking or rose-shir-
ing fine nets. chiffon. narquisette and
similar soft materials for house frocks.
Nothing so certainly stamps a frock as
cheap Ike machine stitchery on a soft.
chinsing fabric.
Another feature OF up-to-date sewing
Is the application OF lace rnedallions.
OF the combination OF embroidered
medallions with lace insertions.
Done by machine this always has a
factory look. even II made al home.
Almost invariably the stitchery will

Rouoh cloths for Fa.I

1t seems early 20 think OF fan and
winter stuffs when only the sheerest
and thinnest of fabrics are making
their appeal. but a general forecast
may be timely as well as interesting.
While broadcloths will probably re-
ceive the most attention, hitting as
they do nicely into the trend Of fash
ion, there viii be a good demand for
the rougher cloths for the strictly
tailored costume for the morning and
rough usage. For this the chevron de-
sign makes an interesting promise in
the neutral shades. the smoke and
elephant grays. the browns and the
dark blues. all of which will burst
forth under new titles.-Dress.
