C0RSAGE FLOWERS.
Artificial Flowers Are Used to Adorn
Afternoon and Evening Gowns.


Corsage flowers are lavishly used
The newest sort are small punches of
flowers and foliage made of gold and
silver cloth. They are decidedly dain-
~. especially on white or other light
afternoon or evening frocks. And the
newest place TO wear corsage flowers
* well up toward the shoulder.
You have doubtless heard the story
that the modern society dances have
brought despair TO the raisers of vlO-
lets. The tnodern woman can no longer
wear II bunch of violets. 1t would be
too quickly crushed when she danced.
Perhaps the same situation accounts
Tor the fact that she now wears her
artificial corsage flowers on her shout
der. Even artificial flowers can be
crushed.
Garlands and bands of artificial flow
ers are part of many OF the daintiest
evening frocks. A fringe OF tiny chiffon
rosebuds is sometimes used TO edge long
satin or chiffon sash ends. And one OF
the newest parasols is a rather digni-
fled one of taffeta. made on straight
lines. with n band of dlminutive fresh
pink chiffon roses fastened stiffiy five
iaches from the edge.
The long stemmed flowers ana huge
velvet pansies and orange flowers and
myrtle made of oilcloth. flowers with
leaves OF the thinnest sheets OF cork
and pure white gardenias-these grace
some of the newest hats. And. too.
there is an occasional bunch Of some
small flower with 6brous roots.
