Fringe Bordered Street Skirts.

| Last winter there were several smart
street. costumes seen late in the season
that were most effective and that were
trimmed with two inch worsted fringe, the
material of the costume being the ratine
now so fashionable. These models, with
few slight notifications, are again
| to be noticed, and one odd detail is es-
pecially striking, the narrow fringe
around the hem of the skirt As a dust
collector this is without a rival; at the
same time it is a smart and novel finish
to the skirt. One of the smartest
models of the winter shows the new rem
dering of the style. 1t is a velvet or
velveteen street gown. with double skirt,
and both skirts are finished with fringe
1.-THE jacket, with belt and skirt, is also
finished with the fringe, while fringe also
trims the bead collar and cuffs. In the
description this might seem too heavy and
clumsy. The gown is, however, smart
be made-it is not p suitable model for a
short woman, and requires to be wsrn by
slender figure. For fringe the color
of the costume or black is the rule, and
the same color as the material is the
smarter. Care must be taken in select
| ing, for some fringes look better with
woollen material. while others 20 best on
silk or velvet. The fashion is rather an
extravagant one, for the cheaper grade
does not always wear well Again, it
must be repeated that it is best to use
less of any trimming and have it satisfac-
tory rather than to use recklessly a poorer
quality.
Fringe on evening gowns is certainly
delightfully."- effective. and while it seems
especially designed for the thin, transpar-
emit fabrics it also shows to great advan-
tage on silks, yelvets, brocade and satinS
Gold, silver or bead fringe of any kind is
effective under artificial ight-iD fact, is
more brilliant-so that for evening gowns
| it is in great demand. A new style, COM
paratively speaking. is the use of it in
scallops, the two or three inch width
with a narrow heading of the same beads.
The Washington herald., 1911-11-19

in effect, while the fringe around the sofi
folds of fichu lend a finish that is both
becoming and effective. 1t is extremely
fashionable to trim the vivid transpar-
emit colors like green and red with gold
fringe, and evening gowns so trimmed
stand out from all others, even those of far
richer material
There are dainty fringes Of pearl and
crystal beads combined that trim charm
ingly the debutante dancing frocks of
tulle and net, while the more elaborate
gowns of pearl and crystal embroidered
net are given an even more elaborate and
effective finish with the exquisite fringes
to correspond. The present fashion of
touch of color with white is also improved
by fringe, as can be noticed in white
silk wolfe evening gown trimmed Win
bands of cerise, the bands finished with
a narrow crystal fringe. The idea is so
novel and original and so up to date that
It has met with we'll deserved admiration
Velvet gowns with fringe are also tashlon-
able, and there are one or two model
gowns of satin and velvet with Jet fringe.
This last requires most careful treatment,
for if an all black gown is made too heavy
in appearance it at once lacks the air and
smart effect that make it attractive. Jet
fringe on net or transparent material Is
always smart, and the different varieties
of jet fringe are amazing, but black silk
or wool fringe is a different proposition
and one that requires more careful con-
sideration.
Apparently Dame Fashion has inaugu-
rated a new style of walking, for all the
smartest evening gowns are so designed
that women cannot take long steps, this
not from the too scant skirt, but from the
weight of the skirt and the way In which
The Washington herald., 1911-11-19

& ASHIONS in materials and trim
mings change every season and just
as much attention has to be paid to
fabrics, colors, cmbroideries and
trimmings of all kinds as to the
models designed in gowns, wraps
and hats. This winter there are many
new colors and many more new trim
mings, for, alas. the day of the perfectly
plain gown is apparently drawing to a
close, in spite of the strenuous efforts
made to keep = IN fashion. Although
a gown may start by wing simple
effect and long unbroken lines before
the original model has been copied
half a dozen times, simplicity and IN
broken lines will have been entirely
lost sight of, under the superb trimmings
with which the gown is loaded down.
This is a season of striking effects of
colors and fabrics that challenge and
compel attention, if not admiration,
and a gown that has not some detail
about it sufficiently striking to make it
individual passes unnoticed, no matter
how costly.
The few so-called simple models of the
draped order are only simple in so far as
the material is untrimmed, but the ma
terial itself is so superb, of such vivid
color and design that any idea of sim

Most exquisite are the Eehus de luxe
on which this stitch finds place. They
are in three pieces, the fitted back part
being like that of large round or pointed
collar cut across along the shoulder seams.
Here are gathered en- the two front

Boudoir Jacket of Ribbon and Lace.
Sc

N FRILLY little negligee that Is ex-
~ tremey useful, as well as pretty to
slip on when in ones own room, is
composed Of ribbon and lace bands, and the
fashioning of 1t may be called fancy work.
When completed 1t has V neck and ends
Just above the waist line. Through the
bottoms of the elbow sleeves and near the
edge ofAhe jacket itself is narrow ribbon
run through lace beading and ending In
rosette Ike bows.
Alternating bands of wash silk ribbon
and lace form the body, and they are put
together by hand. That they shall be
shapely and also prevent drawing, the work
is done over thin brown paper that Later
Is easily torn away.
The two fronts and back 1.-THE latter In
one piece) are cut out, and the first band
Of lace is basted down the edge which cor
responds to the seam. Thenra piece OF
ribbon is laid against the lace to make the
join come on the wrong side, and the two
are overhanded with ITO cotton, the silk
not being cut of until the seam is made.
This method prevents the least waste of
materials. Next to the ribbon Is another
band of lace, the preceding band always
being basted down on the paper, that the
garment when complete shall fit well.
When the back is made the first band
should be put in the middle, each side
working out from that in order to insure
It being alike on both sides.
Fronts and back completed, they remain
on the paper while the under arm and
shoulder seams are whipped together.
Then from the bottom Of one edge is begun

fringe being most effective. The favorite
black and white with white satin and the
fringe of silver has also been worked out.
while rather striking and yet smart com
bination of white over black has gained
much admiration.
A model that also has proved popular
has scarcely any fringe and that only on
the waist, a small, round tasselled silk
fringe, quite unlike anything that has
been used heretofore. The gown is of
almond green mousseline de sole and lib
erty satin. The skirt is quite full and has
a wide panel of the satin, finished with a
bow at the side. There are doubled
founces that are on the order of ruchings
and quite novel in design. The only trim

not a simple task, either, when so much

these simple gowns made of the less ex-

WalIachian Sitchery for Fichus.

wv ITH many persons the coarse,
w though effective, WaIlachian stitch
found scant favor. The fact that II
was easily and rapidly done, that 1t Gov
cred the ground in less time than almost
any other method of embroidery was In
the end It's undoing, for it was done to
death almost before 1t arrived BY workers
who wanted quick and SNOWY results.
Yet the stich, from which it was an out
growth, the long and short buttOnhole
stitch, has so many good points when done
In flo or mercerized cottons that those
cunning in needlework viii never cease
adapting it for original embroidery effects.
In brief, it is long and short stitch,
worked delieately, with the outer row
having the buttonhole finish, which ac-
cents the outline In the manner known

Narrow ribbon is run through the bead

At the bottom Of the V neck are two
rosettes, one on each side, which serve
to conceal lace button and loop which
hold the garment together.
If wash ribbon is used the little garment

ever, are charming, and a jacket made
from them will dry cleanse.
