I Ored embroidery TO Initiate a belt
/ buckle.
The evening gowns have short
I skirts in front and at the sides-in
fact. they are deliberately cut high at
! the sides and the back with an up
ward tilt. and then a snake-like train
which writhes along the floor with a
| colossal pink rose tied to its tail On
some of the gowns the waist line is
made larger by a row Of these arti-
! fetal French roses bedded in few
green leaves and connected with lit
tie strands OF metal thread AL
ways there is a bunch OF large flow
ers at the waist line of the even
ing corsage and another one pend
ent on a lace scarf or winged sleeve.
There are roses everywhere, but no
other kind of flower.
The return Of the barrette Is in
dicated in all the new high coiffures.
1t is broader and shorter than the
barrette OF old and quite different
from that formerly used to support
extending rolls Of hair at the back
Plenty Of Persian ornaments are
seen The most popular are cres-
cents, circular form, or spherical mo-
tifs I'm closely set stones surmounted
by uprights Of white or black feath-
ers. some of which are most inge-
niously curled
There are such a great number and
variety OF new printed dress mate
rails that n few of the latest should
be mentioned in passing. There is
a printed satin having a small, quaint
five petalled Futurist floral design,
a printed rep rich as Petit-p point
tapestry; exquisite printed crepes and
velvets (both silk and cotton and
some gorgeous new designs In woven
fabrics and in embroidered silk It's
sues.
An admirable feature Of the latest
necklaces in diamonds and platinum
Is that their designs OF SURPRISING
laciness reach entirely across the
throat and At snuglv at the base of
the neck, which contributes to pleas
ing contour where 1t does not actually
conceal an undesirable thinness or
hollowness.
Certain facts are quite worthy of
consideration. The plain, untrimmed
skirt has seen its best days Drap-
ing and fiouncing will be universal,
and everything must be done to give
tho figure a rounded appearance in
front. This new outline Is secured
by draplng higher to the front than
to the back and sides. And this drap-
ing is not with any slight modlnca-
ton, but with a decided raising of
the front Of the skirt, or tunic, fall
ing to long lines behind.
The newest watch chain for gem
tlemen is distinctly smart. 1t is
really a strap made of patent leather,
crushable kid, walrus, lizard and 9TH
er soft feathers. and II has a sliding
gold monogram in the center
Stretching from upper pocket to up
| per pocket across the vest, It has
elegance and individuality. The
, monogram slide should not be too
large and should be worn directly in
the middle OF the strap.
The new waistcoats are fascinating,
and with two or three that are dis
tinctly different the economical wo-
man can get variety in her simple
tailored suit. Not that their use is
confined to suits, for they are worn
with morning and afternoon frocks,
| in plaid, Powered or printed silk, In
! brocades of all sorts, and even in
plain white or black satin. bengallne
and MORE.
Not since the reigns OF the Louis Of
| France have such beautiful imported
| fabrics been seen for dress Last sea-
son we had. 1t IS true, the lovely
brocades and matelasse materials but
this year the coloring is much more
beautiful and tho weaves even more
| elegant. The typical blues and pinks

dress, which have come down to US In
the costumes and paintings of those
times. contrast Interestingly with the
Chinese and japanese colorings that

one piece dresses are to be found in
every sort Of material. from the piQue
and cotton ratines used by the college
girl TO the elaborate brocaded crepes
and Ottoman weaves for matinee. 5
