There are fewer Russian blo,lsea among
1 the anclunive models than had been
generally expected. and It looks a. though
the prophecieS wers alr~sdy beginning

relogatsd to tho cheaper models bec@us .
&C overe xploitation: b'tt there are stu
souns charming models Of this type and
the Russian fad has horne fruit IN tho
revival Of the belt and the Introduction
Of innunlerable jaunty bslted coats which
cannot be called Russian though they
are a development ~ the Russian ideas.

lovely limitations OF this lace are offered
IT moderate prices this season. though

The use Of black lace on white satin.
chiHOa. &C. 10 very general and here again
one often finds the addition Of the vivid
color note to which We. have referred
bpSorn in connection with black and white
frocks.
One Of the best evening models We have
seen was q clinginG white satin whose skirt
from the knees down was OF satin in that
exquisite shade which the sales women
call cerise hut which certainly must have
a name implying Omething softer and
Iovelier than cerise. Where white joins
ceriss. the lower edge Of the hounce just
binding the line Of union. is An eight inch
fiounce OF fine black Chantllly Withstralght
edge. and a little above on the white skirt
10 another Lace founce.
The lace - 90 fine and soft and the satin
30 supple and clinging that these hounces
give no awkward boufancy. The low
cut bodice 10 Of the black lace simply
I,IlI~d around the neck and intO a girdle
Of the Cerise. around whose top runs
soft scarf Of black tuIls knotted in bow
AT the top Of the xirdle in front. A rhine
stone ornament il In the centre Of this how
and under the laoe around the deoolletAge
~ a scroll embroidery in brilliAnts. while
the tiny sleeve Of white tulls over which
the black lace drOops il draped and held
by ornaments Of briIliants.
Another effective treatment Of white
material and black lace II seen in aCallot
model OF white chiffon trimmed in vide
bands oS black chAhtiliy and entirely
veiled in a soft rose chiffon which IN Of
the simplest lines and untrimmed the
elaboration being left TO the white and
black under robe
Intricate color schemes are introduced in
models whose general appearance Is simple
by the use of changeable TISSUES. cha nge-
able founda tons. &c. One lovely frock Of
changeable silk mous$eline ar tissue OF
some sort was Of soft green and blue in the
sea tints. the green predominating in the
shifting color On this surface was a
design Of small palm leaves in beautifully
blended Persian tones. This tissue was
made up over a changeable taffesa whose
tones were a yeilowish wood brown and
blue. The design and lines Of the frOOk
were Of the utmost simplicity. but 80
perfectly had the designer blended his /
colorings that the model spoke loudly
OF an artist maker.
The Persian designs and colorings !
are used in many materials and for many !
purposes Drecoll has a Persian fOulard |
Of exquisite coloFinR trimmed In lace |
and with plain little yoke Of blue chiffon. ]
