trimming is of ornamental buttons,
and there is a contrasting belt or
girdle 1t is worn over thin waist,
and unlike the jumper, is to be put
on or off as if it were a coat.
A sleeveless bolero is a feature of a
recent Paris model in lustrous black
silk. 1t is quite loose and is embroid-
cred heavily in a Bulgarian design,
/ but not in colors. Under it a very
wide, soft sash encircles the waist is
loosely knotted at one side toward the
back, and falls in long ends, finished
with heavy tassels. The waist worn
under the bolero is of thin white silk
crepe, very loose and formless, with
full sleeves gathered into a cord at
the depth of dropped armhole, and
again into a loose band little above
the waist. The skirt is draped in long
folds, crossing both back and front.
/ Combinations of contrasting mate
rails are increasingly shown. In one
model four fabrics were employed,
. Chinese blue brocaded crepe, black
satin, lace d'Angleterre, and black vel
vet This multiplicity of fabrics is
found in wraps also. Dolly Warden
printed cotton materials are shown in
combination with white. A French
model has a coat of the lowered stuff
with a skirt of white trimmed with
buttons covered with the materials of
the coat. A little close fitting hat of
the two materials, with tight punches
of tiny rosebuds goes with the cos
tune.
Evening gowns for young women
are generally white or cream, yet
some only recently made by famous
designers are of cherry panne, without
train, and exceedinly pretty and in
teresting; not at all heavy or old
Skirts for young girls frocks, par
ticularly those for the evening, are
almost entirely untrimmed. TUNES
are reserved for older women. A pref
ty way to finish off such virgin sim
plicity is to have embroidery about
the hem of the skirt of some flower,
say Marguerites, forget-me-nots etc,
in the natural colors.
The arrangement of girdles, sashes,
belts or shaped bands well below the
normal waistline is a new style which
is rapidly becoming prominent. Al
first this style was seen only on Bal
kan blouses. Now they appear or
smart afternoon frocks, evening gowns
i and street dresses. The girdle which
e finishes the waistline on these models
extends about two inches above anC
several inches below the waist. 1t al
L most apears as skirt yoke. Evening
u gowns have soft sashes of tulle, creep
n or ribbon loosely arranged severa
e inches below the normal waistline il
e a crushed girdle effect, ending at tn
Il left hip Long ends fall nearly to tn
q skirt edge.
Re Rhinestone ornaments are used o
y skirts to loop up drapery and to hol
y sashes in place at the foot o. the Skin

re Sometimes the skirt drapery is con

CT Velvet is combined in every poss
BILE way with thin stuffs for SUNNI
frocks. One of the most novel us'
at shows a wide velvet hem set under
ar founce of needlework embrOide
us which edges the skirt of a linger
: gown. The velvet, of cerise, is u.s.
also for girdle and for touches abo
the bodice. The whole effect is ri
and interesting and could be develop
in any color.

White silk stockings, embroidei
in colors, with gold and silver thre
intermingled with the /color, show
demand for rhinestone trimming. I
centers of the flowers so elaborate
formed are composed of tiny brit
stones.
