The "MoonIight' Effect.


unpleasantly suggestive of skimpi-
ness.
The "Moonlight" Effect.
| Sometimes the satin glistens throush
| a gold or silver tissue over orapery'
| Often it is veiled by frock OF CHI
| fon cloth hung over the apparen.is
| comnlete costume. A very beautllul
effect called by it's originator MOON
light" has been produced in this man
| ner.
| One such frock of gay satin, en-
broidered with large motifs IN duii
blues. had a deep hem OF duil plue
| satin edging the skirt, and thls heiii
| was matched by long, knotted BIT
die. over the whole was hung ran
of misty gray chiffon cloth, the hlsh
lights of the satin and the blues or
| the trimming showing through the
eauzv drapery in most lovely elusive
effect.
Another such frock made of cloth
of gold with hem and girdle or yello"
satin. was veiled by fall of golden
| brown chiffon.
Oarned Net Froeks Fad.
!, Satin Is used also for the founda-
ton slips under net and lace evening
costumes, which keep closely to the
prevailing long, scant lines. Many OF
the handsomest of these transparent
frocks are Of darned net. and some
women are contriving very rich Co.'S
tunes at small expense by doing thls
novel embroidery themselves.
| The net robe in the picture Is darned
in all-over effect with big, graduated
dots A border done almost solidly in
mink silk darning shows large rose
SPRAYS embroidered upon the darned
background. The rose pattern is
matched by embroidered motifs on
bodice and sleeves. ..
This darning stitch is very easy to
do. The work goes rapidly and the
patterns show up most effectively
against the satin background behind
| the net.
Sometimes the frock of darned net
has a deep hem of satin in the pre-
vailng color OF the embroidery. This
satin hem is protection to the fragile
fabric of the gown and also makes a
very effective trimming particularly
If matched by a satin girdle or sasE
of the same shade.
