Ever present is the bow say those
who are watching with critical eye the
latest manifestation of capricious
fashion The bow appears on hats.
gowns. scarfs and muns, and varies
from a large fiat satin form to tiny
pleated gold shape
on turned up brims of this seasons
hats there are silver fanlike bows. gold
loops and bronze ones. Then, again.
metal lace is tied in stiff shapes and
nestles in fur and feathers. Some
huge bows of white or black lace form
the only trimming for large fat hats.
Indeed a huge wing has been turned
under to simulate a bow on a velvet
shape.
On gowns. especially for evening
wear, bows are used in unexpected
places and their contrasting shades
are utilized by clever makers to carry
a favorite color up and down and
around the costumes. Under a cream
lace robe. following the upper line of
the corsage, a pale blue ribbon viii
be placed. which crosses under the
sleeve and bursts out through an open
ing on the sleeve in the form of
butterfly bow Another designer will
place three large bows in row down
the hack line OF a lace skirt. Velvet
bows run up the under lines of sleeves.
In fact the friendly bow solves many
little trimming problems when tied and
placed by the hand of an adept.
Mufs and fur collars have come in
for their share of the irrepressible bow.
From lingerie to fur garments the
stamp of approval goes with this tied
form of all kinds of material. The
bow is here for successful reign.
The gowns at the colonial dance last
Wednesday evening formed an unus-
ually pretty assemblage and the white
and gold was as dominant in the
dresses of the younger girls as it was
last year, when almost every debu-
tante had white and gold gown. Miss
Mildred Pierce had one of the pref
test of the white and gold combina-
tions, but hers was more elaborate
than some of the others, for great gold
roses were embroidered on the white
satin.
With Midas like perseverance fashion
has invaded even the realm of neck
wear with these gowns and placed
upon the dainty white lace a golden
touch. And it is lovely. The gold lace
used in combination with valenciennes
of fine tuIIe and net is cobwebby and
gives its metallic contrast without any
weight. Gold medallions are let in
along edges OF frills or on pointed tabs
Embroidery is worked with gold
