with a delicate bit OF woodland green
here and there.
This combination suggests a splen-
did decorative scheme. for the bodice
is OF plain cream cOlOred India silk
trimmed with fillet insertion and en-
broidered in brown and green. Bands
of the trimming run across the front
and back of the bodice between
groups OF tucks and the neck is cut
low and V-shaped. The sleeves are
elbow length and are composed Of
tucked folds and embroidered lace
bans artistically combined with a
band of lace for the finishing touch.
This year there are so many diff
ferent additions or details of dress

is made most simply, but an addition
OF trimming in the apron and cross
piece of embroidery. as we'll as the
sash at the side, transform the ex-
tremely plain and simple model into
something elaborate. The gown it
self is made with kimono waist fasten-

joined 10 the skirt with kimOnO waist
fastened in front with crystal buttons
and is Joined to the skirt under a mar
row cording OF the silk.

silk or chiffon OF the same color, and
these are in turn finished with a band
Of embroidery and ruffles at either

in apron effect finished at the side
with a broad piece of embroidery. This
can be of white batiste or can also
be of dark blue chiffon the same col

embroidery around the edges of the
apron. and then the broad band OF
embroidery at the side can be Of tai
feta silk embroidered in black. In

equally used in their ornamentatiOn.
Another of the new neckwear fancies
combines a black satin Follower col
lar with a wide plated friil of shad-
ow lace falling below it all around
and a jabot falling from each side
at the front.
