match their fur trimmings. Very effect i've are those three-piece velvet costumes trimmed with bands of black or white baby lamb or with ceracul embroidered through the center with floral designs in natural colored silks or with gold threads.
 Broad velvet bands border many skirts and wraps intended for ceremonious oc- caslons. and the effect is wonderfully smart In most instances the velvet Is of precisely the same tone as Is the ma terial ot the garment. the necessary con trast being gained by the marked diff ference h shading between the chiffon. silk or satin with which they are com blned.
 Velvet stripping chiffon satin of con trSsting hue, such G5 cerise with white or black. although decidedly costly when employed as q wide bordering. makes a wonderful showing In the same class are those pale hued satIns brocaded with goreeoUs velvet flowers in the deep. rich shades of the pOmeGranate or the deli cate tints of the o-chid. which are used in their entirety to border a skirt. while the figures arc cut away from their satin
 
 the form of velvet medallions. Clearly this Is simply the cretonne applique trim ming decoration developed in finer ia brics to harmOnize with the chiIons and nets suitable for evening gowns.
 Much velvet ribbon Is used. chiefly on the simpler house gowns. matlnees and petticoats. II Is largely employed for fiounce trimmings, the narrower widths set on fin rows between the tucks or an entire nounce may be covered with the ribbon arranged fin graduated rows.
 Panne velvet ribbons fin Pompadour and Empire effects are in demand for wide bows intended for hats, and as border ings for the simp,er afternoon reception gowns, as well as for dancing costumes of net and chiffon that arc designed for girls and quite young women. While such ribbons also appear on some of the more elaborate tea gowns the plain taffetas and satins are reserved principally for figured kimonos and mGineeS. Wide rib bons of whatever character are so gen orally regarded as a typical youthful trimming that although the middle-aged matron may adopt them for her neslisees. she rarely brings them into requisltion for more formal garments.
 Tapestry gallOOn, showing wonderful colorings and quaint designs, will be used extensively for biack. white and such neutral tints as mode and gray.
