other short-haired furs are used on the
collars. sleeves and In trimming ar.
engagements on the fronts of dressy
waists. Fur bands are used In some
cases In the upper section of the sleeve
to hold the extra fullness or drapery
in place, or in simple arrangement to
produce a trimming effect. Other
styles show the fur bands at the edge
Of the sleeve. The collar trimming
usually takes the form of an edge
around the Robespierre collar or the
fiat Directolre collar which extends
over the shoulder.
Strictly tailored waists have the
characteristics of the mannish skirts
In the high, soft, turnover collars and
cuffs and welted seams. Washable
crepes de chine, heavy China silks and
madras have narrow colored stripes
on white groundwork, such as brown,
Dutch and navy blue, wistaria purple
and amber. Buttons Of colored glass
or amber composition are very effec-
lively used for the front pleat closing
when they match the stripe OF the
silk. White pearl buttons are also
used
Soft-flnish taffetas, messalines and
satins are usually Of the same color
as the coat suit, as well as black.
Many of these models are plain, but
both striped and plated patterns are
also seen. The groundwork of Scotch
plaids is usually blue. brown. green or
black, with a plaided design in vivid
shades of red, green, blue, or yellow.
The stripes on these dark waists are
in shades of red, purple. taupe, yellow
and king blue.
Indications point to an increasing
use of various flounce effects. One of
the favored styles for developing the
flounce skirt is the use of a slightly
gathered skirt yoke in conjunction
with two twenty-seven-inch flounces.
Some of these gowns have the fiounces
in velvet, plush, lace, net, charmeuse
or chiffon. The three-piece skirt has
scant flOunces about eighteen inches
wide. They are cut in curved outline,
the center front being shorter than
the back measurement. These hounces
ere not held in as straight a line as
formerly.
F.ounces that border on the circular
effect and form . ripple are MAKING
their appearance, but they are scant
and cling closely to the figure. Ac-
Gordon plaits are very good for these
hounces, as they require no trimming,
which would accentuate the broken
lines, and they fit SO snugly to the
figure that the straight effects are
closely adhered to.
The new, rolling collars are, on the
whole, more becoming than those on
the Dutch order. Few women can
