Is worn with a dark velvet or cloth
skirt, and a fantastic splash of COL
ored embroidery to initiate a belt
buckle.
the evening gowns have short
! 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 row of these arti-
| hcial French roses bedded in a 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 in closely set stones surmounted
by uprights of white or black feath-
ers, some of which are most inge-
niously curled.
There arc such great number and
variety Of new printed dress mate
rails that few OF the latest should
be mentioned in passing. There is
a printed satin having a small. quaint
flve-petalled Futurist floral design;
a printed rep rich as Petit-point
tapestry; exquisite printed crepes and
velvets tboth silk and cotton) and
some gorgeous new designs in woven
fabrics and in embroidered silk It's

An admirable feature of the latest
necklaces in diamonds and platinum
is that their designs Of surprising
laciness reach entirely across the
throat and fit snuglv at the base Of

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 founcing will be universal,
and everything must be done to give
the figure a rounded appearance in
front. This new outline is secured
by draping higher to the front than
to the back and sides. And this drap-
ing is not with any slight modifica-
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 gen
tlemen is distinctly smart. It is
really a strap made of patent leather,
crushable kid, walrus, lizard and 9TH
er soft feathers, ana it 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
hrocades of all sorts, and even in
plafn white or black satin, bengaline
and MORE.
Not since the reigns of the Louis of
France have such beautiful imported
fabrics been seen for dress. Last sea
qon we h it IS true. the lovely
brocades u. matelasse materials, but
this year the coloring Is much more
beautiful and the weaves even more
elegant The typical blues and pinks
Of the days Of French elegance in
dress. which have come down to us in
the costumes and paintings of those
times. contrast Interestingly with the
Chinese and japanese colorings that
are used also in the new materials.
To replace the popular charmeuse
there is a crepe Lucia, a satin on the
same order as charmeuse but with a
slight crepe in the weave that gives it
an added elegance. Crepe Trianon is
like that of last year except that it
seems a little heavier, is more crepe
like in appearance and comes in won
derful Japanese designs. Faille Tria-
non has a cIear-cut rib like old Otto
man silk and has a glorious luster
