IN MIXTURE OF TWO COLORs.
Clever Idea That Is Made Use CT for
the New Trimmings.

One or the new Trimmings is the
use Of black cloth cut in wide. bold

This is quite effective for street
suits and also for soft finished indoor
gowns.
Brcaacloth is used for the embroid
cry. A pattern is first cut from pa
per. bas'ed on cloth and then cut out
with sharp, snall, wgll-poln'ed scis-
soTs.
There is no hem. The cloth Is ap-
Piled wi a raw ollge. but as this is
done now with bands and folds and
revcrs, II does not look ilcoasiste nt
with nestuess.
The wing Of this embroidery to
the fuuadati1I cloth is a work Of art.
and no matter low well it is done. 4
hot iron is needed for the finishing
touch.
Certain drossmahers paste On this

This kind Of trimming has been par
ticu'drly well carried cut on gown
Of white meteor crepe in which the
cut out embroidery is OF ra'e violet

Soft Silks.

Silk will be very much worn now
Not the kind of taffeta We used to
wear. Nobody wants to rustic now;
We do not want to look starched or
to shine: we must look as wilted and
clinging as possible. AS the de-
mand for silk is greater the weave will
be improved. We find rich, heavy
liberty satns and dull silks in the
shops like those that were worn in
our grandmother's days. Silk costs
more now than it did. but it wears bet
ter. II is now material for the
street as well as for church and other
occa sinns for simple dressing.
